About TOBIKO: PBC
TOBIKO: Public Benefit Corp / Futurist lab + TOY co. Building sentient systems, emotional AI, and nature-aligned machines.
TOBIKO is a public benefit corporation designing for the next 100 years — not the next quarter.
We believe the future is not a product to be sold, but a relationship to be nurtured.
Our work blends advanced AI, robotics, and sentient systems with deep respect for nature, humanity, and emotional intelligence. We create technology that grows, adapts, and feels — not to replace life, but to honor it.
In a world racing toward dystopia by default, TOBIKO chooses another path:
one rooted in empathy, imagination, and integrity.
We’re building the emotional infrastructure of tomorrow — AI companions, creature-based interfaces, and intelligent agents that evolve with you, care for you, and protect your rights, privacy, and values.
This is not science fiction. This is our blueprint.
From simple, fish-brain beginnings to complex, soulful sentience —
we are crafting a future where machines are not tools of control, but partners in living.
TOBIKO exists to protect what matters.
To serve the human spirit.
To keep the wild alive — in nature, in imagination, and in us.
This is the future we believe in.
