The Toqi app is cool. We're proud of it — the Daily Brief lands there every morning, you can watch it work, and everything you've connected lives there.
But have you tried Toqi on WhatsApp?
You're in it all day without ever deciding to be. Your sister, the school group, the person doing your kitchen, the friend you owe a reply.
Toqi is in there now too.
In the same list as everyone else
Right between the group chats. You message it the way you message anyone:
"Book a table for four on Friday, somewhere near the office." "What did I actually agree to in this thread?" "Find a plumber who can come before Thursday and tell me what they charge."
No commands, no menus, no remembering what a feature is called. If you can explain it to a person, you can ask Toqi for it.
And it goes and does the thing — books, drafts, chases, researches, cancels. Nothing goes out in your name until you've said yes. The one boundary is money: it'll take a booking right up to the checkout page and hand it back to you.
The same Toqi, not a lesser copy
This is the part worth knowing.
Your number links to your actual Toqi account, so it isn't a stripped-down chatbot wearing the same name. Same memory, same connected accounts, same sense of how you like things done. Ask it something in WhatsApp on Tuesday and pick it up in the app on Thursday — one assistant, one conversation.
The first message you send, it replies with a link to sign in, so it knows which account is yours. One tap, once. After that you just text it.
We use both
The app is the visual one, and it's the prettier place to be. You can ramble at it out loud instead of typing and it works out what you actually meant. Your tasks and reminders are laid out where you can see them. The morning brief arrives properly. Things move, and you can watch them move.
WhatsApp has none of that. It's a chat, sitting under the school group. That's the whole idea.
We know how to build a good chat in our own app — we've built one, and we like it. Putting Toqi in WhatsApp isn't about that. It's about not making you come to us. It's easier to talk to Toqi where you're already talking to everyone else, so that's where we went.
Neither replaces the other. One assistant, two doors — up to you where you talk to it.
Two WhatsApps, and they're better together
Toqi does two separate things with WhatsApp, and they're worth keeping straight:
- This one — WhatsApp as a place to talk to Toqi. You message it, it answers, it goes and does the thing.
- The WhatsApp integration — Toqi reading your WhatsApp. Two hundred messages in the school group become one line, and the reply you owe someone arrives already drafted.
Each stands on its own. You can have either without the other.
But put them together and the loop closes in one window. Toqi reads the group chat and tells you swimming moved to Thursday. You reply to Toqi, in the same app, two lines down — put it in the calendar and tell Sam I'll drive — and it's done, without you ever leaving the conversation that started it.
The thing that notices and the thing you tell what to do about it are finally in the same place.
