About

Kevin Gervais started Touchless in 2020 after years of building for telecom and edge computing, and after an ADHD diagnosis that changed how he thought about the cost of a slow page. The product sits between a site and its visitors as an encrypted edge tunnel: API calls are shielded, DOM updates stream as they happen, and Core Web Vitals improve without the site being rebuilt. The company says latency drops by as much as 50%, and its delivery approach is filed as U.S. patent application 63/552,000. Auto Genius, the automotive venture Gervais co-founded in 2021, was combined into Touchless in 2023. The product is in beta and the company trades as Touchless Holdings, L.P.

Quick answers

What does Touchless do?

It makes websites load faster. A script tag routes the site through an encrypted edge tunnel that shields API calls and streams DOM updates in real time; the company claims up to 50% lower latency.

Who founded Touchless?

Kevin Gervais, in Toronto in 2020. He had earlier founded Statflo and ran it as CEO, and co-founded Auto Genius in 2021, which was folded into Touchless in 2023.

Can I use Touchless today?

It is in beta. The site takes work emails for early access to the SDK and sandbox rather than selling a plan.
