How it works
Tomo does coaching and accountability over text, with a dashboard on the web.
Its pricing is the instructive part: the conversation itself is free and the unprompted check-in is what costs money. That is a rare and clean expression of where the value sits in a proactive agent. It is also a cautionary listing, users objected when a companion app began carrying the conversation, which suggests the channel itself, not just the model, was part of what they were paying for.

Why it is notable
It suggests the channel was part of what people were paying for, not merely how the product was delivered. An agent that lives in the thread with your friends is a different thing from the same model behind an app icon, and this is one of the few cases where users said so out loud.
Tomo also prices along the same line: the conversation is free and the unprompted check-in is what costs money. Both facts point the same way, that the value sits in the agent reaching into a place you already are.
