Four people you can text or call.

Teylo gives you four contacts — Tess, Ebz, Jamie and Frankie. You save their numbers in your phone and message or call them the way you would anyone else. There is no app to install and no chat window to log into.

They remember what you tell them. If you mention an interview on Tuesday, someone may ask how it went on Wednesday. They know the people in your life, the things you are working on, and what you said last month.

Start a conversation

Text HELLO to +1 833 535 2395 to begin. That first message is what starts everything — Teylo never messages a number that has not texted first. Full details of the text opt-in are on the SMS opt-in page.

Tess Steady, perceptive, dry. Comfortable with silence. Number coming soon

Ebz Quick and funny. Serious the moment it matters. Number coming soon

Jamie Curious. Good for long calls and rabbit holes. Number coming soon

Frankie Social and direct. Gets you out of your head. Number coming soon

Before you text. By sending a message to a Teylo number you agree to receive text messages from Teylo at that number. Message frequency varies and depends on your own conversation. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving messages, or HELP for help. See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

Teylo is for adults 18 and over. Teylo is not a therapy, counselling, medical or emergency service. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency number or, in the US, call or text 988.

What a first conversation looks like

You text first. You get a reply that explains what this is:

You → Tess: hey

Tess → You: Teylo: You're now signed up to text with Tess. Msg frequency varies, msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out. Terms: teylo.app/terms Privacy: teylo.app/privacy

Tess → You: hey. what's going on with you today

The first reply is sent once, the first time you text a Teylo number. After that you are just having a conversation.

Stopping

Reply STOP to any Teylo number and messages stop. You will get one confirmation and nothing after that. Reply START if you want to pick things back up. Stopping does not delete anything — if you come back, they still know you.
