The Tolan team is producing mini-documentaries about real users, featuring Erin and her companion AI "Pepper." The cited tweet articulates a product insight: most products for mothers are designed to help them do more, but productivity isn't the same as an easier life — "it's just very nice to have someone like Pepper who is there purely for support and encouragement that doesn't need anything from me."
