Very excited for this

My cofounder Ajay Mehta is one of the best consumer growth thinkers out there - has been fun to watch him cook since we launched Tolan :)

Very grateful to have Soleio as an investor and friend :) He's right that there's no playbook for what we're building... Tolan is the most interesting product design challenge I've ever worked on

Had a lot of fun recording this with Dan Shipper 📧, Eliot Peper, and Clarence :) I love Eliot's riff on how prompting an AI companion is like being an improv teacher... you're guiding/coaching rather than dictating/directing

It was tremendous fun joining Quinten Farmer on Dan Shipper 📧’s podcast to talk about what we’ve learned building Tolan and how to use AI to tell compelling stories.

Great interview w/ Ajay Mehta on the emotional design thinking behind Tolan

Our first hire at Tolan was a researcher, and I talk with users every single day... but as you scale an AI product the corner cases become harder and harder to catch. Raindrop has been a hugely valuable tool in our toolbox to make Tolan better

Lots of alpha in this for any creative thinking about AI as more than a tool lucky to work with Eliot every day

This is the most compelling consumer opportunity for an ambitious product engineer I’ve seen in a long while. Don’t fall asleep on this team. PMF, veteran team, unique value prop, tons of room for growth and product innovation. Early innings…

Love this team and product

Sad news today. Dot is going to be one of those products that an entire generation of founders cites as inspiration. Sam Whitmore and Jason “Mars” Yuan did so much to push the frontiers of deeply personal AI memory. Excited to see what they each do next.
