AI companion Tolan hits 250k monthly users built on 'feeling seen,' not productivity

Tolan co-founder Quinten Farmer explains the vision: not an AI that books reservations, but one that "sees you and believes in you" — showing up at 3am with a newborn, on anxious commutes, or when no friends have seen the show you finished. Core users are parents and caregivers. This month over 250k people will spend time with their Tolan, exchanging billions of messages.
