Toki: a personal AI agent that handles your Matters

Key facts

What is the new Toki and who makes it?

Toki began as an AI calendar. On 2 November 2026, Raymond Wang wrote that the new Toki is a personal agent that discovers what matters to you and handles it (Meet the new Toki). The shift, the post argues, is from managing time to helping the things you care about actually happen.

Toki is owned and operated by Orion Arm Pte. Ltd., according to its privacy policy and terms. The homepage calls it an executive assistant that discovers and handles matters important to you (toki.com). Co-founder Robert Zheng followed on 5 November 2026 with a first-person look at how Matters changed the way he works (How Toki Matters changed the way I work).

What is a Matter and what can Toki do with one?

The core primitive

A Matter is something you care about, want to happen or need to handle — a tennis game, a visa application or lunch with friends. Each Matter is an agentic workspace with a Goal, Connected apps (Toki acts with your permission), Context for background and decisions, and Long-running follow-up until the work is done or you close it (Meet the new Toki).

From a tennis slot to a longer follow-up

Examples in the launch post include adding “Tennis this Thursday, 9–10” to the calendar and reminding you; organising visa requirements and following up; finding a lunch time with a group and adding the confirmed plan; gathering contract emails, flagging decisions and drafting a reply; and suggesting a family holiday, then researching dates and costs if you are interested (Meet the new Toki). The Matters list shows what Toki is handling and where each thing stands, so you can step in and hand work back. You make the key decisions; Toki handles preparation and follow-up.

How does Toki connect your apps and stay in your control?

You sync email, calendars, Slack and more so Toki can discover tasks and goals. You approve actions before it continues. It can chat by voice, images or text, and it can call you for important matters (toki.com). Zheng writes that Toki reads across email, calendar and Slack, suggests Matters, and asks before it sends, books or commits (Zheng).

Call Me, documented on 28 July 2026, calls your phone for events you mark as important, while routine reminders stay as notifications (Call Me). Matters work best when the apps where work happens are connected, and Toki does not make the final business judgments (Zheng). WhatsApp is no longer offered after a WhatsApp Business policy change (toki.com FAQ). iMessage as a channel is not confirmed on the pages we checked.

How much does Toki cost and where can you use it?

Toki’s official pricing page, checked on 8 November 2026, lists three plans. Free syncs up to three calendars, with an AI scheduling assistant and a basic quota. Super is USD 9.99 a month (100K credits, Proactive Agent, outreach). Pro is USD 19.99 a month (200K credits, 24/7 Proactive Agent, research and outreach). First-time subscribers get a 7-day free trial. An annual-billing discount was not listed on that page, so we do not state one.

The homepage says Toki is ready on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac via the App Store, and on Android phones and tablets via Google Play (toki.com). A published country-by-country availability list was not on the pages we checked. The privacy policy says personal data is stored and processed on servers in Virginia, in the United States (Toki privacy policy).

What does Toki mean for everyday follow-up?

Zheng describes an inbox that stopped being his to-do list: things that need him are pulled into Matters, follow-ups continue while he is in meetings, and a morning scan replaces rebuilding the day from memory (Zheng). His examples include spotting a forgotten subscription renewal and handling the cancellation after he said no, keeping a creator campaign and its invoice in one thread, and gathering a revised contract with the clauses that needed a decision.

Those habits sit next to calendar scheduling, inbox triage, a subscription audit, the inbox zero coach, a trip planner and restaurant and appointment booking — with you approving sends, bookings and commitments.

How does Toki compare with Caddy and Kiwi?

Caddy is a personal AI you text in Apple Messages to stay on top of work and life; it watches your apps and nudges you. Kiwi is a free proactive assistant you text on iMessage or WhatsApp: it watches your calendar, email, trips and bills, texts you first when something needs doing, and books, orders or replies on apps or websites once you say yes.

Toki shares that coordination brief, with Matter workspaces, a native app (including Mac), Slack and email connections, and Call Me. It no longer runs on WhatsApp. See Toki vs Caddy and Toki vs Kiwi, plus the best personal AI agents of 2026 and our business vs personal guide.

What should you watch next with Toki?

Watch whether Toki publishes a clearer country list, and whether other messaging channels return (toki.com; Zheng). Also watch whether the official pricing page later adds annual billing or changes the Free, Super and Pro quotas (pricing).

We will keep the Toki profile current. For more personal assistants that coordinate life and work, see Kiwi, Ask Proxy and Quest, or the full agent directory.
