What is Tolan?

Tolan is a mobile AI companion designed to provide emotional support and reduce feelings of overwhelm through natural conversation. The app presents itself as a personalised alien friend rather than a typical chatbot, aiming to create a warmer, more relatable interaction. It remembers your previous conversations and adapts to your communication style, offering a consistent presence for users seeking someone to talk to about their day, creative projects, or emotional challenges. The app includes content filters and safety features, making it suitable for children, teenagers, and adults alike. Unlike general-purpose chatbots, Tolan focuses specifically on emotional connection and wellbeing. It's available on iOS and has built a user base of over 500,000 since launch. The freemium model allows you to start for free, with options to enable additional features through a paid subscription.
