We’re releasing Tomo Anonymous Relays
Users can relay messages to other people through Tomo, even if the recipient isn't on Tomo yet.
Real Tomo users have used this feature to
- see what friends want for their birthday
- send compliments just because
- matchmake their friends and themselves
- ask someone to go to homecoming with them
A classifier model prevents Tomo from relaying any hateful messages.
We’re releasing this because it further enables people to use Tomo's network to thoughtfully interact with one another. And because it’s fun.
🧑⚖️
We’re releasing Tomo Interest Groups.
The video below is an actual Tomo Interest Group interaction that a user shared with us (names anonymized)
As Tomo learns more about you, it places you in group chats with other Tomo users pursuing similar goals.
When Tomo offered this to 100 users studying for the LSAT, 60% of them opted-in and got placed into group chats with other Tomo users. They then traded notes and coordinated group study sessions, facilitated by Tomo.
As more users join Tomo than ever before, they contribute to a pool of people with shared intentions waiting to discover each other.
We’re rolling this out to more Tomo users with proven interests in hobbies, sports, careers, and side quests, because people go further together.
🏄♂️
Tomo can now call others on your behalf ☎️
Tomosapiens have shared that their Tomos have called groups like
- R&G Lounge “in case they don’t speak English” (?)
- The National Park Service to secure a camping spot
- The Church of Scientology to find out who manufacturers their pamphlets (???)
We hope this makes it a little easier for everyday people to surf, or do whatever it is you’ve been putting off, by Tomorrow
📨
You've got mail
We’re releasing Tomo Inbox.
Tomo often inspires users to embark on (exciting!) adventures that sometimes requires seeking information over (boring) email.
Tomo can now send emails to different groups on your behalf without using your own email nor making you to create a new one.
Tomosapiens have shared that they’ve used Tomo Inbox to
- Book a Mariachi band to surprise their long distance girlfriend
- Email 20 restaurants in Venezuela to locate a ring that went missing while on a trip there
- (Accidentally) confess to a crush
It’s another way for everyday people to close the gap between idea and action and have more reasons to forward to Tomorrow
*ring ring*
“hello?”
“is your refrigerator running?”
“yeah?”
“Then you should run and catch it. here’s your running app to run the 5 remaining miles you promised to yourself this week. Also in case your refrigerator wasn’t running, I found a handyman to-“
*ring ring*
Today, we’re releasing a preview version of Tomo Voice. Tomosapiens can talk with their Tomo by calling the phone number they already text with, powered by OpenAI Live.
In rare cases, your Tomo may also decide to call you first.
Calling is especially joyful knowing that Tomo can take real-world actions and update your garden of apps with a realtime verifiable trail of texts and images.
Voice is another step towards making accomplishing more in life even more delightful for everyday people.
It’s been a ton of fun to try. I hope you pick up!

The drumbeat of Stripe empowering agents to safely buy on our behalf continues
@link 🤝 @tomo

The first-ever purchase made on Tomo came from a user in Hawaii who started using it because she'd always wanted to learn Japanese. Tomo spent $81 on a Japanese textbook for her.
Next came $55 whey protein from a user working with Tomo to get in shape, then a $109 sunrise alarm clock from a user working with Tomo to sleep better.
Consumers let their personal agent make purchases when they trust that it has their best interests in mind.
Pushing people towards their personal ambitions is a great way to start building that trust among everyday people: purchasing items as aspirational as a textbook earns the right to purchase items as mundane as toilet paper.
We’re partnering with Stripe so that tomosapiens can approve purchases directly through Link, further closing the gap between aspiration and action for real people.
"Tomo, spend a billion dollars. Make no mistakes."

@tomo is the only one that has actually stood the test of time and been genuinely for me…

Tried @tomo, @getboai, and @interaction.
My biggest takeaway: the best personal AI isn’t the one that can do the most. It’s the one that makes you feel like it knows what to do for you.
Tomo stood out by a lot for me.
A few things it got right:

Launches should be an immersive world
That means every single thing needs to be intetional, well designed & on brand
Excited to sit down with @KarenLouu, one of my amazing designers here at @hardlaunching, showcasing all the work for @tomo across events, micro sites & more!

I almost didn't work with @Jackyhuang for Tomo's launch since he had 1 non-negotiable: "no 9am calls"
That sounded weaksauce to me - if you were really committed, wouldn't you just wake up for it?
While working together, I quickly realized how foolish saying no because of that would've been.
The thing about Jacky is that everything he says somehow happens. There is no "maybe" or '"it depends". it just happens, every time.
It was because each night, he would not leave our office until he guaranteed whatever he wanted for Tomo happened, even as I pleaded for him to go home as the sun rose.
Because when Jacky is working with you, nothing else matters more than your company.
Don't let his soft whimsical exterior fool you - he is an absolute force of nature, ruthlessly kind and relentlessly pushing for your shared success.
What a privilege it is for Tomo that we get to work together*

Here's a inside look w @ryleestanton from my team @hardlaunching sharing the behind the scenes creative process for the launch video💛
it’s ok to take a break from building software so long as it’s to build legos instead
Incredibly proud of @tomo for 1M+ on their video
We sat down right before launch to break down how @justoutquan and @Jackyhuang bet on themselves
