Targeting customer service, education, entertainment, and health, it offers empathetic, 24/7 engagement in 13 languages, with a 14-day free trial and enterprise plans, backed by $135M in funding (e.g., SoftBank, Temasek) and partnerships like Nestlé and WHO.

Ratings and Reviews

Digital Humans That Feel Real

4.30

Soul Machines’ avatars are unreal—I made one for a mock interview, and its facial reactions were spot-on! The free trial’s Studio is intuitive, and it’s free to start. Only catch: the 14-day limit flew by, but it’s a 4-star gem for customer-facing ideas.

Impressive but Heavy

4.20

Built a health assistant with Soul Machines—its empathy and object recognition (new in Sept ‘24) were cool for demos. The site lagged on my old laptop, and enterprise pricing’s opaque without a demo. Great tech, just not lightweight—3 stars.

Future of Interaction

4.60

Soul Machines’ Digital People are next-level—my “Shyla” avatar handled Thanksgiving Q&A like a pro (launched Nov ‘24). The Studio’s power and Discord support are top-tier. Worth the investment for innovative engagement—5 stars!
