Toki

• Getting a nudge and a ready-to-review draft when a supplier or client has gone quiet on an email thread
• Keeping a client proposal due Friday open as a Matter with its deadline and next step until it is sent
• Having Toki phone you before a flight, school pickup or medication time you cannot miss
• Watching a flight route for a fare under your budget or a news topic before a client meeting
• Asking the cloud computer to compare rental listings across several sites and send back a spreadsheet
• Forwarding a month of receipts and having Toki fill in an expense report on its cloud computer

Toki is one of the few personal assistants that grew out of a large consumer calendar app rather than a lab demo, and it shows: scheduling, phone-call reminders and booking links are mature, and Matters builds on that by turning open threads in email and Slack into tracked items with a clear email approval rule. The cloud computer moves it toward the errand agents, at a similar price to consumer rivals such as Poke and Muse. The catch is that the agent features are new and still rolling out, credit costs per task are opaque, and the strongest capability sits behind Pro. Start on Free or a trial with one inbox and calendar, see what Matters actually surfaces for you, and check how fast credits drain before paying for a year.

About Toki

Toki launched in 2024 as Dola, a chat-based AI calendar assistant, and its maker, Orion Arm Pte. Ltd., now calls it an AI executive assistant. The calendar is still the base: you tell it plans by text, voice, screenshot or email, it syncs Google, Apple, Outlook and other CalDAV calendars, spots conflicts, keeps to-dos, shares booking links, and its Call Me feature rings your phone for events you mark important. Three recent additions make it more of an agent. Matters, rolling out gradually since October 28, 2026, scans the apps you connect (Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Jira, Calendly and more, with Google Drive, Todoist and Zoom among the connectors announced on November 5) for unfinished business, such as a supplier who never replied or a client request you missed, keeps the context and next step together, and follows up until the situation is resolved. When help means sending email, you review each email before it goes, or give standing permission for future emails within that one Matter; payments and cancellations come to you as a specific request to approve. Since November 11, Pro subscribers also get a private cloud computer with its own desktop, browser and terminal, where a more capable agent researches across many sites, works on files and handles tasks behind a sign-in, and keeps going after you close the app. You enter passwords in a secure form the assistant never sees, and anything that acts for you waits for approval. The desktop app, on any plan, can also use your own Mac, Windows or Linux machine for quick jobs, asking before each action unless you choose Always allow. Every AI action draws from a credit allowance (100K on Super, 200K on Pro), and computer work uses a lot of it. Toki says more than 5 million people use it. The tradeoffs: Matters and the new connectors are still reaching accounts and platforms, the credit cost of a task is not published, the cloud computer is Pro-only, no public API is documented, and it is built for one person rather than a team.
