Beta Day Is Here

Today marks a milestone we've been working toward for over a year: Budbo V3 beta testing officially begins. Select dispensary partners and community members are getting their first hands-on experience with our next-generation platform.

What's in the Beta

Marketplace

"We trained BudBot on over 9,000 cannabis strains with full terpene and effect data," says Jacob Patterson, Co-Founder & CTO. "In early testing, beta users said it felt like talking to the best budtender they'd ever met — except it's available 24/7 and never has an off day."

  • Customer insights driving business decisions

BUBO Token Integration

Beta Program Details

"The beta feedback has been incredible," says Luke Patterson, Founder & CEO. "Our partners aren't just reporting bugs — they're telling us this fundamentally changes how they run their business. That's when you know you've built something that matters."

Our Promise

Beta is just the beginning. We're listening to every piece of feedback and iterating rapidly. The V3 you see today will be even better at launch.

"We're iterating fast — pushing updates every week based on partner feedback," adds Jacob Patterson. "The beta isn't a demo. It's a live product serving real customers. That pressure is what makes it better."
