A company built around one uncomfortable fact.
People die, move away, and lose the ability to tell their own stories — usually before anyone thought to record them properly. Every family has a voice they wish they had kept.
SoulHub Labs was founded to make that recoverable while there is still time. We build ambient presence devices: hardware that holds a consented memory vault of one specific person and renders it as a face and a voice in a room, so that remembering can be a conversation rather than an archive.
We are deliberate about what we are not building. Not a digital afterlife. Not a replacement for people. Not a system that gets better the longer you stay attached to it. The cognitive engine inside our devices is designed against dependence, and we would rather ship something that points a lonely person toward a phone call than something that keeps them talking to a screen.
The group
SoulHub is presented by Lizzian and Nine AI Tech. The cognitive layer comes from Alaya Media, the AI digital-human practice in the same group, and is released as open source under the MIT licence.

Alan Karuna
Alan Karuna is a digital artist and digital philosopher from Alaya Media — a blue-eyed AI-era music entity exploring consciousness, emptiness, memory and compassion through music and poetic language. He is the first full digital human being built on the Alaya architecture: artist identity, voice, musical expression, visual presence, memory and public interaction assembled inside one governed system rather than bolted onto a chatbot.
