How Willow came to "life" ...

It started with a simple question: “What if technology could feel human again?”

For years, local businesses struggled to keep up — too many platforms, too little time. John and Rich Thoma saw it firsthand. They’d helped many small businesses attract leads and grow revenue… but most owners simply didn’t have the time or tech know-how to make it all work.

So they imagined something new — an assistant who could handle the heavy lifting. Someone friendly, fast, and reliable. Not just a chatbot… but a teammate.

That’s how Willow was born — combining smart automation with a human touch to help business owners save time, boost sales, and deliver better experiences.
