Built for four rooms, not for a demo.
Presence technology is easy to make impressive and hard to make useful. These are the situations the product is actually designed around — and the constraints each one imposes.
Legacy & remembrance
Record a parent or grandparent while they can still tell their own stories.
Families have always preserved voices — in letters, tapes, voicemails kept far too long. SoulHub turns that instinct into something you can answer back to. A vault recorded while someone is well becomes a way for grandchildren to hear a story in the voice it was first told in, in the words that person actually used.
- Guided recording sessions that capture stories, not just audio
- Consent statement recorded and stored with the vault
- Exportable archive the family keeps regardless of the device
Companionship for older adults
A familiar face in the room for someone who lives alone.
Loneliness in later life is a measured health risk, not a soft one. SoulHub X1 is built for people who will never open an app: one dial, one button, a face that greets them by name and remembers what they said yesterday. It is designed to prompt contact with real people, not to substitute for it.
- No smartphone, account or menu navigation required
- Daily check-in prompts family members can configure
- Large-type display and hearing-aid-aware audio tuning
Distance and long separation
For families split across countries, deployments and time zones.
Video calls need both people awake at once. A SoulHub presence does not. A parent working overseas can leave stories, answers and bedtime readings in the vault, and a child can talk to them at the hour that suits a seven-year-old rather than an airline schedule.
- Asynchronous presence across time zones
- Story and reading capture for children
- Handover to live video when both sides are available
Pet memory keepsakes
The animal that was part of the household, kept in the household.
A pet vault holds footage, sound and behaviour rather than speech: the specific way a dog greeted the door, the noise a cat made at six in the morning. For many families this is the first loss a child experiences, and a keepsake that moves and sounds right is easier to sit with than a photograph.
- Motion and sound capture from existing home footage
- Ambient mode that runs quietly in a room
- Same vault ownership and deletion guarantees
Start with a recording.
The hardest part is not the hardware — it is doing the capture while there is still time.
