Introducing Next-level AI Assistants

Soul Machines AI Assistants are designed to empower humans. They can see, hear, react, and emote like a real human, offering a unique interface that enables a natural conversational experience when interacting with AI. The latest features, new object recognition and memory capabilities, enable these AI Assistants to interact more seamlessly with people and their real-world surroundings, and remember individual users, to create a truly personalized and engaging experience.

“Our goal has always been to create AI Assistants that feel like a natural extension of ourselves, and these advancements bring us closer to that vision,“ said Darren Wilson, Chief Product Officer at Soul Machines. We believe that AI Assistants have the potential to revolutionize the way we learn, grow and connect with others, and we're excited to be at the forefront of this exciting new era."

Experiential AI: The Heart of Soul Machines

Soul Machines' unique Experiential AI technology utilizes cognitive modeling and embodied cognition, simulating the underlying biological and neurological systems that produce human behavior and emotions. This enables Soul Machines to add a layer of emotional intelligence and social understanding to any existing language model, like GPT-4o, and create interactive, human-like responses in real-time.

With these latest features - object-recognition and memory - Soul Machines Experiential AI combines real-time image processing and prompting to further understand the objects around you and to provide more context for your conversations. We will also have the ability to store user preferences and inputs that will allow our AI Assistants to tailor its advice and track users progress.

For example, if you’re practicing for a job interview, your AI Assistant can see and hear if you are lacking confidence, or can see your outfit. It will then make recommendations for improvement or help build their confidence. It can also assess users different responses over time, and tailor its advice as the user improves.

The new object-recognition feature will be available through Soul Machines AI Assistants on www.soulmachines.com in early October. Memory will be available in November.
