soleio · x · 2026-10-20
Tolan's founder marks one year of the AI companion app built on a vision of AI that 'sees you and believes in you' rather than books reservations. Its users are parents and caregivers seeking emotional support; 250k+ people will spend time with their Tolan this month, with billions of messages exchanged. Boosted as the antithesis of Apple's HomeView ad.
