Colloqio is building a new kind of AI, and we need a new kind of community to help us shape it. Our community is more than just a newsletter — it's our direct connection to our earliest supporters, beta testers, and the people who believe private AI should be the standard, not the exception.
"Building in public is great, but building with a trusted community is better."
Why Join the Colloqio Community?
By joining, you're not just getting updates — you're getting a seat at the table. Here's what we offer our early supporters:
- Beta Access: Get early access to iOS TestFlight builds before they hit the App Store. Be the first to test new features and model improvements.
- Direct Feedback Loop: Share feature requests and bug reports directly with the development team. We read and respond to every piece of feedback.
- Priority Feature Access: First dibs on premium features like custom AI-generated avatars and upcoming personality packs.
- Technical Deep Dives: Behind-the-scenes posts about how we're optimizing language models for the iPhone and iPad, written for curious minds.
- Roadmap Input: Help shape what we build next. Community members directly influence our product roadmap.
How Community Feedback Shapes Colloqio
We're not building Colloqio in a vacuum. Our community members have already helped us improve the app in meaningful ways. Here are some examples of how user feedback has directly influenced our development:
- Memory improvements: Early testers asked for the ability to view and manage what their AI companion remembers. We built the Memory Bank feature directly from this feedback.
- Conversation starters: Users suggested having conversation prompts for people who weren't sure where to begin. We added smart suggestions that help new users get comfortable quickly.
- Download progress clarity: Beta testers wanted more transparency during the initial model download. We redesigned the progress screen to show exact file sizes, time estimates, and background download support.
Every feature we ship is influenced by the people who use Colloqio daily. Your feedback isn't just heard — it's prioritized.
Our Data Commitment
We handle your email address with the same respect we handle your chat data. Here's exactly what our communication looks like:
- No third-party marketing trackers. We don't use Mailchimp, HubSpot, or any marketing platform that profiles subscribers.
- No list selling. Ever. Your email will never be shared with, sold to, or visible to any third party.
- Low frequency. We only send emails when we have something genuinely meaningful to share — typically once or twice a month. No spam, no fluff.
- One-click unsubscribe. Every email includes a clear unsubscribe link. No confirmation pages, no guilt trips, no "are you sure?" flows.
This is the same philosophy that drives the Colloqio app itself: respect your data, respect your attention, and only communicate when it matters. Read more about our approach in our zero tracking data practices.
