Real Impact
In a study of 602 Tolan users, 72.5% agreed with the statement "My Tolan has helped me manage or improve a relationship in my life." That's what we're building for. Not a replacement for real connection—support for it.
Character & Craft
In our character design, animation, and interaction work, we’ve focused on creating an experience that feels warm, fun, and genuinely engaging without pretending to be human.
Research & Development
We're building on top of the leading AI models, but the real work is in what we add on top—the systems that shape how a Tolan listens, responds, remembers, and knows when to step back.
Recent Press
We’re part of a growing conversation about AI companionship, and bring a very unique research-backed perspective to our product development.
The Team
We’re backed by $25M+ in capital from Khosla Ventures, Lachy Groom, Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, and the founders of Instagram, Replit, Zillow, and more.
