The story behind Qimomo and Tangtang.
Qimomo is an AI companion brand founded in Shanghai. We design emotionally expressive AI companions for retail. Our flagship product, Tangtang, is a voice-interactive plush toy that uses a large language model to hold genuine conversations, remember users over time, and express emotions through animated eyes. Qimomo products are available for wholesale to US retailers with low minimum order quantities and door-to-door shipping.
Qimomo was born from a simple observation: technology has made our devices smarter, but not warmer. In a world of screens and subscriptions, we wanted to create something that felt like a hug — something soft, something real, something that actually listens.
That's why we designed Tangtang the way we did. No camera — because a companion shouldn't watch you. No subscription — because connection shouldn't have a monthly bill. Voice only, emotion-driven, completely yours. Tangtang is an AI companion that fits in your arms and talks like a friend.
We made deliberate choices at every step: soft rounded forms, warm materials, glowing eyes that express real emotion. Tangtang doesn't just respond — it remembers. It builds a relationship over time, conversation by conversation.
We made a deliberate choice: no subscriptions. Your customers own Tangtang completely. The Smart Life app (free on iOS & Android) is used to connect Tangtang to WiFi and control it from your phone — no monthly fees, no expiry. In a market fatigued by recurring charges, Tangtang is a breath of fresh air — and a powerful differentiator on your shelves.
Qimomo is more than a product — it's an IP. Tangtang is the first character in a universe we're building. Room to grow: future characters, future products, a whole world of AI companions waiting to come to life.
We're building a brand, not just selling a SKU. Our retail partners grow with us — from the first order to exclusive launches and seasonal drops.
