More living.
Less figuring things out.

A personal AI assistant designed to learn what matters to you — without you teaching it.

Meet Tombi.

The latest evolution of a smart assistant

Your custom executive assistant that doesn’t force you to type in commands or teach every step.

Tombi works behind the scenes to understand your daily rhythms, updating and supporting you by voice, not through a (clunky) app you have to learn.

From early phones to modern screens and wearables, ending with Tombi offering its pendant to a woman

REDACT OTHER PEOPLE’S SPEECH

Personal to you.
Respectful of everyone.

Privacy deserves straight answers.

Security matters. So does permission. Protecting information and having permission to capture it are different responsibilities.

How Tombi protects privacy ↗
Privacy by design
01
Focus on you

Personal context should serve your needs and the features you choose.

02
Respect others

Tombi is designed to keep other people’s private words out of your retained personal context.

03
Keep you in control

Choose what Tombi does and what you share with people you trust.

WHY CHAMOMILE LAB EXISTS

Technology should reach
the people who need it most.

We believe further that the benefits of personal AI should not depend on being tech-savvy. That belief guides how we build Tombi—and who we build it for.

Our team brings together product vision, strategy, data, and scientific review to make everyday assistance more accessible.

Tombi FAQ

Good questions.
Clear answers.

What exactly is Tombi?

Tombi is the personal AI assistant. The pendant and phone app are ways to connect with it; the green character represents the assistant. The aim is everyday assistance through natural conversation.

See the illustrated answer →
Do I still need a phone and an app?

The current design connects the pendant with the Tombi mobile app. Spoken interaction reduces screen work; it does not mean every function operates independently of a phone. Supported phones, connection requirements, and setup steps are still to be confirmed.

See the illustrated answer →
What happens to other people’s speech?

The design aims to exclude non-wearer speech from retained personal context, through its privacy and redaction approach. Brief capture and processing can still occur, and errors are possible. The privacy page explains the intended stages, limits, and consent issues.

Can my family read my conversations?

No. Your conversations and memos are not shared. Invite up to five people to your circle, then choose location access for each person. They can receive help alerts through the free app without owning a pendant. Buying Tombi for someone does not automatically grant access.

Will Tombi contact emergency services?

The current concept describes fall detection and a hold-to-call gesture that alert a designated contact. It does not promise automatic emergency-service dispatch or a staffed response center. Detection, connectivity, delivery, and response limitations will be specified before launch.

When can I order, and what is finished?

The target release date is April 16, 2027. Milestones 1–13 are reported complete, with 14–17 targeted for October 2026. Future dates remain targets, and the progress page separates completed work from planned work.
