Two surfaces, one account
avaTOK works across two places: the website at avatok.ai and the avaTOK app. They share the same account and the same listings — a listing looks identical whether someone finds it on the web or in the app — but they aren’t built to do the same things.
What you can do on the website
avatok.ai is the consume-side of avaTOK: you can browse the marketplace, book a 1:1 session or join a live event, pay for it, watch a live show right in your browser, and take a paid consultation — all without installing anything. Signing up also happens here, and checkout for bookings and tickets happens here.
What needs the app
Two things live only in the avaTOK app:
- Messaging. avatok.ai has no chat or messaging feature. If you’ve booked with a creator or want to reach out, the website hands you their avaTOK number plus a link to download the app — messaging itself happens there, not on the web.
- Onboarding and your avaTOK number. Creating an account on the website gets your account open, but the rest of onboarding — including choosing the avaTOK number that other people see instead of your real phone number — happens the first time you open the app. See Create your account for the sign-up steps.
Why it’s split this way
The website is built to be the fast, public front door — something anyone can open in a browser and use in a minute, no install required, to find a creator, watch a show or pay for a session. The app is where the fuller, ongoing relationship lives: talking to a creator, managing your avaTOK number, and everything that needs to stay with you rather than a browser tab.
A typical path
- Find a creator or a show on avatok.ai and book or join it.
- Pay for it on the website — checkout happens there.
- Watch or attend right in your browser if you like.
- To message the creator, or if you’re a creator getting paid, open the avaTOK app — that’s where your avaTOK number lives and where the conversation continues.
