Tolstoy
Tolstoy is a web-based AI ecommerce platform for producing product content, publishing shoppable experiences, and helping shoppers choose items. AI Studio creates product images, videos, and ads through reusable workflows based on a brand’s Brand DNA. AI Player publishes product videos and user-generated content across a site, app, email, and SMS. The AI Sales Agent uses a product catalog to answer questions about fit, features, and differences, then recommend products. Product catalog synchronization and shoppable content are supported. Featured connections include Shopify, TikTok Shop, Google Drive, Meta Ads, Klaviyo, and Gorgias; Canva, Higgsfield, Billo, D-ID, and AdSpy are marked as limited connections. Tolstoy offers a free option without a card, with eligible accounts able to publish unlimited on-site views for 30 days. Paid plans start at $8 a month, billed $96 yearly. Higher plans provide larger allowances, while Enterprise has custom usage, implementation, and dedicated support.
