Tolan's founder echoes the view that consumer agent startups chase the tech bubble or Gen Z, but college-age users have little ROI — the real market is 30s-40s with purchasing power, homes, kids and cars, and messy real lives beyond booking dinners. He notes 100K+ Tolan subscribers are mostly 30-40 year olds completely outside the Silicon Valley bubble, because the product builds AI that knows you deeply to support everyday life.
