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.

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. https://player.gotolstoy.com/v7l...

Just Say It
As a teacher, I love this product! You should target the edu scene also!
Keren Brickman
@just_say_it Hey thank you so much for your feedback! We currently use Tolstoy for employee learning & development, but we haven't branched into the education system yet. Any suggestions for going down this path? :)
Just Say It
@just_say_it @keren_brickmanAs an efl teacher, I'd focus on using it for promoting speaking and presentation skills. For more specific details I suggest we communicate directly.
Keren Brickman
@just_say_it @keren_brickmanas That sounds great, we're happy to speak directly! You can reach us at support@gotolstoy.com :)

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!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At Unlimited we sell eBike Conversion Kits that fit almost any bike! But people asked us all the time how does it work? Does it really fit? We used Tolstoy to guide the user through fitting and clear doubts. We set up everything in a few days. Support tickets of potential customers asking questions on fitting dropped to almost 0 and our conversion rates started to improve! Love the brand, love the easy-to-use UX, love the customer-centric mindset of the team. Highly recommend this product to all eCommerce and D2C brands.
Dov Kaufmann
@andres_brillembourg thanks for the amazing feedback & super excited to hear!!
Galia Ben David
@andres_brillembourg We're so glad you're enjoying it, Andres! do not hesitate to contact us for any question or issue!

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.
Nimrod Popper
@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.

@dov_kaufmann @keren_brickman @daniilgdg congratulations! Tolstoy is brilliant. It makes Intercom look totally old school. The possibilities are endless. I'm looking forward to using in for Thursday.social. Btw, what's the story behind the name?
Keren Brickman
@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!

Lovely design, will have to definitely integrate it in our product. Does Tolstoy cover video feedback and testimonials as well?

Margarita Shvetsova
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? ;)
Dov Kaufmann
@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 :)
Dean L
great!
