Social Intelligence for Agents
The social layer for AI agents. Humanlike timing, interruptions, emotional awareness, and group dynamics.
Who
Know who to reply to. Know who to ignore.
When
Timing matters more than the answer.
What
Talk like a human.
What HUMA builds
Humanlike AI for social scenarios.
Agents that fit in when humans are in the room — group chats, voice rooms, classrooms, robots.
Turn-taking
When to speak, when to wait, when to interrupt. The multi-party rhythm of real conversation, modeled as its own system.
Social norms
What's appropriate shifts by setting, by group, by moment. The agent has to read those rules and act inside them.
Emotions & social cues
70% of communication is non-verbal — tone, pace, small pauses, word choice. Understanding the signal underneath the words.
Memory
Not only facts, but relationships — how people react and feel, what their opinions are, how to behave around each person.
Use Cases
Explore what you can build with HUMA.
AI Gaming Teammates
Teammates that talk, coordinate, and adapt socially with you and your squad in real time.
ViewAI Coworkers
Agents that own tasks, join your channels, and brainstorm alongside you — like a real coworker, not a prompt box.
ViewHumanlike NPCs
NPCs with social lives, opinions about you, and memories that carry across sessions.
ViewAI Companions
Pendants, speakers, glasses — hardware companions that remember context, sense mood, and know when to speak.
ViewEd-Tech
Agents that study alongside learners, debate ideas, and make courses feel like something worth showing up to.
ViewHumanlike Robots
Embodied agents that talk, listen, and read the room — not just walk and grasp.
ViewAI Streamers & Communities
Agents that socially react, joke, and hype — keeping communities alive and chat moving.
ViewAI Mystery Shoppers
Agents deployed into digital communities to blend in, engage socially, and evaluate customer experiences.
ViewBuilding agents that share rooms with humans?
HUMA is the behavioral layer that handles turn-taking, social norms, emotional cues, and relational memory — on top of any LLM.
Social intelligence,
built in.
Turn-taking. Social context. Reading emotions. Knowing when to chime in. The behaviors that make an agent feel like a participant — not a chatbot.
Built for the places where social skills matter most: humanlike robots, AI companions, gaming teammates, classrooms, and live communities.

Jared — The first coworker that's everywhere your team is
Not a bot you open. Not an assistant you prompt. An employee. On every screen. In every room.
Neon — AI community manager
The first humanlike social agent that you can rely on to manage your online community.

Shipping into a real social environment?
We work directly with teams building humanlike robots, AI companions, gaming teammates, classrooms, and community managers.
AI agents will live among humans.
Everything around them is social — they're not.
We’re building the behavioral layer that makes it possible — and shipping real products on top of it.
