WHY ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE US

Toptal in Action

Discover the cutting-edge benefits our clients enjoy from the global Toptal network.

Toptal helps USC launch first-of-its-kind scalable AI assistant to support 40,000+ students.

Challenge: The University of Southern California set out to build a 24/7 mental health app with an authentic, conversational AI chatbot interface. To bring that vision to life, the university needed specialized expertise in software development, AI, and chatbot integration.

Impact: In close collaboration with USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies, Toptal helped build Ask Ari, a first-of-its-kind mental health chatbot that uses generative AI to deliver personalized, on-demand support to students.

Outcome: USC moved beyond traditional resources with a smart, responsive platform that adapts to student needs. The Toptal collaboration met USC’s high standards for innovation, and students using Ask Ari report feeling empowered to better handle their anxiety and stress.

I worked with Toptal for a number of years in three different companies and have always had phenomenal results. Bringing them to the university was just a natural extension of my experience with them. You have somebody who really becomes part of the team.
