Tomo
A text-based personal AI for goals, accountability, reminders and life admin.
Group: Personal agents you message
Tomo (Mapo Labs, Inc.) documents a personal AI that lives in your texts: it learns your goals, joins group chats, sends reminders, searches the web, manages calendar and email, and messages you proactively.
The decision in plain English
Tomo now publishes a starting price: the base plan is from $19.99/month with pricier plans for higher messaging limits, but the FAQ says pricing may vary by user (promotions), so confirm your actual price at signup. Its privacy policy (June 2026) excludes Google Workspace and Apple Health data from AI training; broader model-training practices were not established in the sections reviewed.
Best fit
A text-based accountability and life-organisation assistant that messages you first.
Poor fit
Users who want a fixed published price ladder: only the base plan is priced publicly and prices vary by user.

- Connect calendar and email only after reviewing what access is requested.
