@dov_kaufmann @daniilgdg @nishith_shah Thank you SO MUCH!!! We like to think Tolstoy is sort of like if Intercom and Loom had a baby 😂 We can't wait to see how you guys use Tolstoy, please reach out if you ever need help with anything!
@dov_kaufmann @keren_brickman @nishith_shah Thanks Nishith!!! Our team loves thursday so much, it would be awesome to see you guys using it 😀
@keren_brickman @daniilgdg @nishith_shah Thanks for your support!! I was getting a masters in creative writing when I launched the company, so Tolstoy seemed to fit at the time ;)
Why did you choose the name Tolstoy btw? :) It makes me think of a famous Russian writer, the one who wrote "War and Peace" and other books. So what inspired you to pick this name? ;)
@margarita_s88 haha great question! I was getting a masters in creative writing at the time I launched Tolstoy, and was reading a lot of Tolstoy lol :)
What an amazing product! First time I saw the name I was sure it had something to do with books, lol (because of the name). But it's a completely different thing!
I've seen a few similar video pop-ups on some websites and thought it was really cool. Now I can do it myself - wow! I think it's a great idea to use it on our landing page for a Product Hunt launch! I can think of other opportunities as well - it must work wonders for wesbite conversions! 🔥
Keep it up, guys, and good luck with the launch! A solid candidate for the Product of the day, and maybe even for the week!

@margarita_s88 Thanks so much! I'm excited to see how you choose to use Tolstoy! We're here to help with any questions or suggestions :)
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Thanks to @benln for hunting us!
Tolstoy lets companies celebrate the people behind their brand – and connect with customers in a whole new & more personal way – using interactive video.
You can do all sorts of things with Tolstoy. For example:
1. Give lightning fast – & hyper personal – support with video chatbots (for support teams)
2. Save your HR team hundreds of hours by conducting pre-recorded video interviews that do the screening for you while wowing candidates (for talent acquisition teams)
3. Book more demos and close deals with branching video messages (for sales teams)
Even though Tolstoy can be used to lots of things, the central idea is always the same: we are revolutionizing the way people communicate with businesses by making it more personal and letting the people behind the brand shine through. We want to change the way people think about business, by making every business interaction more personal, authentic, and meaningful. And faster.
A Tolstoy can be placed anywhere (for example: on a website, in an app, in an email) to provide a high-touch, face-to-face experience, and for every self-service customer to feel like an enterprise customer.
We actually don’t even know all of the ways you can use Tolstoy, and, for us, that’s the most exciting part.
And we’re also currently completely free.
We’d love to connect with you and hear your feedback, ideas, and ideally how you want to use Tolstoy!
@benln @dov_kaufmann I literally wondered aloud if something like this existed like 90 minutes ago lol. Very cool.
Lovely design, will have to definitely integrate it in our product. Does Tolstoy cover video feedback and testimonials as well?
@almost_designer Thanks so much for your feedback! Yes, it does! We even have a ready made Tolstoy template to ask for testimonials. check it out here: https://player.gotolstoy.com/oy1...
Amazing! I am sure @bronsther and @alexa_gueguen would love to try it! Congrats on your launch ?makers :)
Love the branching videos, built in lead qualification system, and that it can be placed anywhere. Well done!
@dawn_veltri1 Thank you so much, Dawn! It was really important to us that Tolstoy could be used anywhere where personalization would add value. So happy you love it!
Really interesting idea and I can definitely see where this could fit in. I can see the interviews being very useful for the more junior roles where it's less vital to have in-depth interviews.
Wow! Game changer!
Given that video is the most engageable format, soon this is going to move from good to have to must have feature! All the best, team!
Love the personalization and ability to provide a face behind the logo. Looks like a strong competitor to VIDEOASK by Typeform
Instant upvote! The integration really take this a step further than similar tools :)
Gotta say: the easter eggs in the demo kept me clicking all the way through 😂
@wilhelmr Thank you so much Wilhelm!! Haha and happy you enjoyed the demo- we had fun with it :)
We've been using Tolstoy to explain our product for a while now and every customer loves the interaction. It is an ice breaker for us to get people more engaged.
And @dov_kaufmann and @nimrod_popper are super quick to implement suggestions.
Amazing company.
@dov_kaufmann @beinglong Thank you so much for your support!! We've really appreciated all of the suggestions and feedback over these past few months - it pushes our product so much further.
One of the best apps out there. Easy to use and highly effective. I recommend this app to any and everyone!
We have used Tolstoy to help our customers provide rapid, intuitive experiences to their own customers. From garnering feedback, to creating quizzes, to creating customized courses, Tolstoy has made what was once an impersonal chore, a personal connection.
Our customers love it, and we love it too.
Well done on the launch, @dov_kaufmann and team, from myself, and the full Oneiroi Investments Team! Here's to many more years of Tolstoy-ing!
@dov_kaufmann @theo_pistorius Thanks so so much for your support!!! We’re really excited by all of the innovative ways you guys are using Tolstoy it’s so cool to see.
Hi Samantha @samantha_becker1 I have a question. Can Tolstoy be used entirely on desktop by people who do not have a smart phone?
So many developers are bypassing that ability and shutting out part of their market.
Not all small business owners are technical. And some do not have smart phones.
I recently saw a smart phone that didn't have data connected on it -- not that he'd have any idea what to do with it if it did!
Shout out to @dov_kaufmann and his team! Been desperately looking for a tool that can provide in-email video seamlessly 👏
@dpickell thanks! we're huge fans of the Privy team, so super excited for you to try Tolstoy out!!
@talsiach Excited to hear, thanks and let us know if there's anything we can do to help. We love Wix!!
We've been testing this F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C tool, it's one of those MUST-HAVE to get the job done. Great UI and UX, very simple and intuitive!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've made over 50 Tolstoys myself. And it's the easiest of the interactive video platforms-- I've used most of them over the last few years. Check out our interactive One Minute Video Challenge! Love to hear what you think.
