A LITTLE HELP. A LITTLE MORE POSSIBILITY.

Your life has a rhythm.

A concept of how assistance could work. Launch capabilities are still being finalized.

HELP THAT BUILDS ON WHAT CAME BEFORE

You shouldn’t have
to start over.
Every time.

01

Learn what matters.

Designed to build on the preferences, routines, and goals you choose to share.

02

Offer a useful next step.

Timely assistance, without needing a new instruction at every step.

03

Move at your pace.

Your direction matters. A useful assistant leaves room to decline, correct, and change your mind.

LIFE IS HAPPENING OUT HERE.

Be in the moment.

That’s where useful technology should leave you.

PERSONAL ASSISTANCE. CONSIDERED PRIVACY.

Your life.
Your information.
Your choice.

Tombi is designed to redact other people’s speech while learning how to help you.

Respect for the people around you is part of the design—not a detail tucked away at the end.

Design principle

Personal doesn’t mean
keeping everything.

01
Understand the input

Make it clear what is captured and processed.

02
Redact other people’s speech

Third-party speech redaction is a core design goal.

03
Explain what remains

Give a clear account of retained information and access.

What will the full privacy explanation cover?

Audio, transcripts, summaries, processing location, retention, deletion, and sharing controls. The exact redaction stage and its limitations must be verified before launch. This concept page is not a privacy policy.

ONE ASSISTANT. PART OF YOUR EVERYDAY.

Meet Tombi.
Keep it close.

The final Tombi avatar

The personality you recognize.
The assistance you come for.

Tombi is the personal AI assistant. The wearable and app connect you to the experience.

FROM CHAMOMILE LAB

You shouldn’t need to understand
technology to benefit from it.

We’re building Tombi around a simple belief: the benefits of personal AI should be accessible to the people who can gain the most from them.

That means paying attention to the whole experience—how it fits into a day, how it offers help, and how it respects the person using it.

A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Good questions.

Do I need to be comfortable with technology?

Tombi is being designed for people who want useful assistance without learning complicated technology. The setup process and ongoing requirements will be explained before purchase.

Is Tombi the pendant?

Tombi is the personal AI assistant—the overall experience. The pendant and app are ways to connect with it. The green character represents the assistant.

Does Tombi need instructions every time?

The intended experience builds on context and preferences to offer timely help. Supported actions, permissions, and confirmation requirements will be specified before launch.

What about other people’s conversations?

Tombi is designed to redact third-party speech. We will explain the precise processing, removal, and retention behavior and its limitations before launch.

What will it cost, and when can I order?

We’re targeting April 16, 2027 for product release. Hardware pricing, any ongoing subscription, pre-sale dates, and delivery details will be announced before orders open.

Is Tombi an emergency-response device?

No. Tombi is positioned as personal AI assistance, not an emergency-response service or a substitute for care.
