The Start-Up’s LLM Orchestration Engine is Backed By A Team Of Serial Tech Entrepreneurs with Multiple Successful Consumer Ventures
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Kolo AI, a next-generation artificial intelligence start-up, announces today its official launch out of stealth mode with the introduction of the industry’s first truly cross-platform AI assistant that integrates SMS, mobile app, and web interfaces, all with seamless conversation syncing and self-tuning capabilities. With its multi-user SMS feature and proprietary model orchestrator, Kolo AI delivers personalized, intuitive, and powerful AI assistance without asking users to be prompt engineers.
By starting with SMS, Kolo AI distinguishes itself on the market as the first AI company to make AI assistance available to anyone with a smartphone and a messaging plan—the most universal, frictionless way to access AI. From there, conversations seamlessly sync across app and web, ensuring continuity wherever users choose to engage. Whether summarizing texts, contributing insights in group chats, or handling reminders, Kolo delivers everyday AI that feels natural, accessible, and always within reach. The company’s simplified approach allows users to incorporate the full value and potential of different large language models (LLMs) into their daily interactions – making AI a catalyst for everyday consumer ease.
“AI has incredible potential to empower users with new insights, information, and task assistance that can simplify their daily lives. Unfortunately, the prompt complexity demands of today’s AI end up taking away time from users, rather than giving them back time better spent,” said Harry Tsao, CEO of Kolo AI. “Our AI changes that with better information harmony. Kolo plugs into the lives of consumers organically and begins to optimize interactions based on the daily priorities of each user. Because Kolo isn’t restricted to a one-dimensional back and forth, our AI is better positioned to filter content based on what the user cares about, in addition to results based on information quality and the utilitarian intent of the consumers’ prompt. Just like a friend, family member or subject matter expert you might turn to for advice, Kolo gives perspective based on a more well-rounded and historically consistent viewpoint that factors in the users’ identity. Kolo delivers on the AI helping hand users are actually after, not the additional work.”
Key Features
Kolo AI is now available widely for consumer use across SMS (download the contact card), mobile app (Apple App Store and Google Play) and the web (https://www.kolo.ai/chat/.
- Cross-Platform Conversations & Seamless Syncing.
Kolo AI synchronizes conversations across SMS, app, and web in real time, ensuring users can pick up where they left off on any device without friction. - Multi-User SMS and Smart Presence.
Drop Kolo into group conversations or one-on-one chats. Kolo can be summoned explicitly or auto-invoke itself when it perceives it can add value, offering suggestions, insights, or answers without interrupting the flow unnecessarily. - Proprietary Orchestrator and Auto-Model Selection.
Behind the scenes, Kolo’s priority orchestrator analyzes incoming queries and determines which underlying LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, Grok etc.),is best suited, balancing speed, accuracy, specialization, latency, and cost for the task at hand. - Self-Tuning & Personalization.
Kolo not only remembers user context—preferences, details, and past interactions—but also distinguishes between facts and inferences to deliver more accurate, personalized responses. Users have full control with the ability to add, edit, delete, or keep memories private. Its adaptive engine continually refines answers, becoming more attuned with every exchange. - Everyday AI, Zero Learning Curve.
Kolo’s mission: make AI so natural and easy to use that users get outstanding results without needing to master prompting. The focus is on delivering highly personalized, relevant output with minimal friction.
