Four months ago we launched Tolan, our first AI companion. Today, Wired's @willknight wrote about our progress since launch: 3 million downloads, a $12M run rate, and a $20M Series A led by @rabois / Khosla Ventures.
2025 is 50% complete.
did i mention that this is totally nuts?
Loved speaking about our team's journey from 0 → 1M+ downloads of @tolanworld just weeks after launch - thanks for having us @philgcarter ❋
LLMs don't just generate media, they are a new narrative medium, akin to the advent of printed books, radio and film. I've been experimenting with this new medium at @tolanworld, and it's working: 800k+ downloads/#1 app store ranking/millions in ARR. Here's what we've learned.

“Cut that. That’s fire.”
Amazing. In *two* minutes, Pete Buttigieg got Andrew Shulz to see why government research is necessary. That is why these conversations matter. A lot of the hosts & audience would never hear a message like this one. But when they do, it makes sense.
500k people are confiding in an AI alien—and it's on track to generate $4m this year. It’s called a Tolan: an animated AI character that can talk to you like your best friend. The company behind it, Portola, has 4x’d their ARR in the last month from viral growth on TikTok and…
Very fun to chat with app gurus @jeiting and @drbarnard all about @tolanworld! Spoke to @SubClubHQ about 🔹 Going from 0 → 500K+ downloads in weeks 🔹 How design choices shaped our distribution 🔹 Why we monetized at launch 🔹 @jeiting going on a date with Batman
We’re fortunate to work with a team of truly world-class creative artists and technologists to build this product, and we're still very early in defining what an Embodied Companion can be. We can’t wait to hear what you think of your Tolans and their planets ◡̈
Here’s the full story in Fast Company: fastcompany.com/91283982/tolan… - along with Lucas and Eran, a big thanks to @gdechichi @eliotpeper @thomas_sound who are working to make the Tolan’s planets beautiful and full of life.
The first visual space for our Tolans was a minimalist, off-white room. We wanted to give them a more vibrant world to inhabit, and additionally: a space that dynamically evolved as our users built friendships with their Tolans. Inspired by the fantastical, galactic-yet-personal…
Here’s a deeper dive into how we brought these engaging aliens to life: tolans.com/relay/designin… - alongside Lucas, Eran, and wonderfully talented creative collaborators like @chromosphereLA @Lady_Caballo @hamburger @dmcgco
We started by exploring how we could use art and animation to give interactions with AI more depth, emotion, and relatability. Our creative director @lucas_zanotto has a body of work full of soothing yet expressive faces. We partnered with @eranhill and @ioramastudio to begin…
Yesterday we announced Tolan, an Embodied Companion in the form of a cute, friendly alien character. Today, we’re sharing more about the creative process behind the design of the Tolan characters and their in-app environment, featured in a story by Jesus Diaz at @FastCompany
The @tolanworld app is truly incredible. It fulfills the promise of "Her" -- an AI companion that truly gets to know you, and helps you know yourself.
