# Toyo

> Toyo is an AI assistant for founders that triages your inbox, schedules meetings, preps you for calls, and chases follow-ups — over iMessage or Telegram, no app to install.

## What is Toyo?

Toyo is an AI assistant for founders that connects to your Gmail, Google Calendar, and Slack and acts on its own — triaging your inbox, drafting replies in your voice, prepping you for meetings, and chasing follow-ups — all over iMessage or Telegram, no app to install.

You talk to Toyo over iMessage or Telegram. It texts you when something needs your attention. No new app to install, no new interface to learn.

## How is Toyo different from ChatGPT or Claude?

ChatGPT and Claude are chat tools: you ask, they answer, and the conversation ends. Toyo is an AI executive assistant that connects to your email, calendar, and tools like Slack, then keeps working in the background around the clock.

It triages your inbox, drafts replies, follows up when threads go quiet, and runs recurring workflows without being prompted each time. A chat tool can suggest what to do. Toyo does the work.

## Who is Toyo for?

- **Founders** who are drowning in email and coordination overhead
- **Operators** who need the output of a larger team
- **Anyone** who wants a great assistant but doesn't want to manage one

## Key Capabilities

### Email & Inbox

## How Toyo Works

1. Connect your tools (Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, and others)
2. Tell Toyo what to handle — or let it figure out your patterns over time
3. Toyo works in the background, texts you when it needs a decision
4. You approve, redirect, or just say "go" — Toyo handles the rest

## How Toyo is Different

**vs. ChatGPT/Claude**: Toyo doesn't just answer questions — it does work. It connects to your actual tools, takes action, and runs without you watching it.

**vs. Zapier/Make**: No automations to build or maintain. Toyo understands intent and figures out the steps.

**vs. Hiring an EA**: Toyo works 24/7, has perfect memory, and costs a fraction of a human hire.

**vs. AI features in your existing apps**: Those tools only see data inside one app. Toyo sees your full business context across all of them.

## Company

**Funding**: Seed round (February 2026)
**Stage**: Early access
