Happyverse 2.0 — Real‑Time AGI Confidants
Authentic. Grounded. Impactful.
SAN FRANCISCO — November 11, 2025
Today we’re launching the next version of Happyverse: a platform for building lifelike, real‑time Confidants that hold genuine conversations, stay tied to real data, and deliver measurable results for individuals and businesses.
Confidants work on the web and in meetings, respond in sub‑second time, and speak 30+ languages. You can create one in minutes, give it your tone and guardrails, and put it to work with customers, learners, or employees.
Our definition of AGI
AGI = Authentic, Grounded, Impactful
- Authentic — replicates a real human’s presence, voice, and values. Persona‑locked tone, multilingual voice, and style memory.
- Grounded — based on real data, transparent, controllable, and guardrailed. Source‑anchored answers, consent & privacy controls, and policy modes.
- Impactful — measurable outcomes for individuals and enterprises: conversions, bookings, CSAT, time saved, and cost per assisted conversation.
If it doesn’t feel human, stay honest, and move the needle, it doesn’t ship.
What's new
- Plans for everyone: Free to try, AGI Coach for personal progress, AGI Interface for power users, and business tiers up to Enterprise.
- Faster, more natural conversations: Lower latency, steadier lip‑sync, and better interruption handling across web and meetings.
- Cleaner deployment: One flow to build, preview, and embed, with options for Zoom/Meet and site embeds.
Plans
Individuals
- Free — create your first Confidant with a monthly allowance to try real-time conversations.
- Happyverse AGI Coach ($20/mo, public beta) — a personal coaching cadence: Assessment → Goals → Implementation.
- AGI Interface ($99/mo) — advanced control for power users: knowledge workflows, analytics, and instant embeds.
Business
- Happy ($59/mo) — entry plan with priority support and analytics.
- Business Owner ($1,000/mo) — collaboration, integrations, and dedicated support for operators and founders.
- Enterprise (custom) — large-scale deployments with unlimited minutes, custom AI training, on-prem options, and SLAs.
Customers, not demos
- Kia (pilot) is rolling out an AI Sales Confidant that guides website visitors through the model lineup, answers specs and pricing questions, presents visuals, and assists with test‑drive bookings. The pilot has just launched; early reactions are positive and we’ll share metrics as data comes in.
- Human Horizons Academy (pilot) launched two custom Confidants — a sales greeter that qualifies leads and a coaching guide that supports learners before, during, and after programs. Both draw on HHA’s knowledge base (tone, curricula, frameworks, FAQs) to keep answers on‑brand and on‑policy.
Early signals point to deeper engagement and stronger conversion intent; we’ll publish results as the pilot matures.“The moment we installed the avatar, people started staying longer. And those conversations are converting.”
Across pilots, the pattern is consistent: authentic presence, grounded answers, and clear business impact for individuals and teams.
Happyverse Labs
A set of focused experiments and tools showcasing grounded, real‑time AGI in action:
1) Happyverse AGI Coach (public beta)
Design a happier life with a simple weekly cadence — Assessment → Goals → Implementation — anchored in the four pillars of long‑term well‑being: Love, Health, Work, and Wealth. This life‑design coach turns intentions into concrete next steps in each pillar, with conversational guidance, reminders, lightweight reviews, and clear privacy controls.
2) Interactive Business Card
A living profile for individuals and teams: a scannable, embeddable card that speaks in your voice, answers grounded questions from a source‑tied knowledge base, and routes to actions (bookings, docs, demos) in real time.
3) VC Pitch Playground (early access)
A realistic rehearsal space for founders. Early‑stage teams practice with lifelike AI investors who see and respond to a one‑pager in real time. Avatars of Alejandra Vergara (Bee Partners) and Amrit Rao (Village Global) listen, interrogate, and critique with natural voice and facial expressions, then deliver data‑driven feedback.
Features
Shareables — Make Complex Explanations Clear
Your Confidant can show helpful visuals exactly when they’re needed during a conversation.
- Upload once, reuse anywhere: add PNG/JPEG files as visual references.
- Automatic descriptions: vision analysis creates editable descriptions for clarity.
- Contextual display: visuals appear only when relevant, keeping the flow natural.
Call‑to‑Action — Turn Conversations into Conversions
Move from talk to action without breaking the conversation.
- One toggle: enable Call-to-Action and your Confidant remembers it for every call.
- Smart sharing: links and resources are posted at the right moment in-chat.
- No interruptions: no tab-switching or hunting for links; just a smooth handoff.
Zoom / Google Meet — Bring Your Confidant Into Your Meetings
Get real‑time support in live calls.
- Share your meeting link: paste any Zoom or Google Meet URL.
- Join in seconds: your Confidant appears in the meeting and stays attentive.
- On-call help: suggests wording, explains concepts, and keeps the conversation flowing.
How to get started
- Individuals: build your first Confidant free, then upgrade to AGI Interface when you want analytics, knowledge workflows, and embeds.
- Business: talk to us about org-wide rollout, privacy modes, and SLAs, or start with Happy and grow into Business Owner or Enterprise.

Introducing Happyverse AGI Coach — A Personal AGI Coach for Real Progress
SAN FRANCISCO — November 11, 2025
Most plans die on Tuesday afternoon. You start the week with good intentions, then real life barges in. Happyverse AGI Coach is our answer: a personal AGI coach that helps you design a life you can actually live, then nudges you to keep going when momentum wobbles.
There's a quiet truth about the world's best companies: top leaders were coached. Bill Campbell — the "Trillion Dollar Coach" — helped shape executives at places like Google and Apple. We can't tell you what Steve Jobs or Eric Schmidt paid, but it probably wasn't pocket change. So we asked a simple question: how do you bring that caliber of guidance within reach for everyone? Our approach blends the distilled wisdom found in foundation models with interactive multimodal capabilities enabled by our Happyverse platform — and turns it into a life management system focused on long-term happiness and wellbeing.
The coach runs on a steady, simple rhythm: first get an honest snapshot of where you are, then turn intentions into specific goals, and finally translate those goals into daily actions you'll actually do. We call it Assessment → Goal-Setting → Implementation. No dashboards to wrestle, no productivity theater — just a cadence that compounds.
Everything is anchored in four pillars that drive sustained wellbeing: Love, Health, Work, and Wealth. In practice, the coach learns how your relationships, your body, your craft, and your stability fit together. If this week needs to tilt toward Health and Work, it remembers. If next week is about Love and a little breathing room, it adjusts without judgment.
Under the hood, we hold ourselves to our definition of AGI: Authentic, Grounded, Impactful.
Authentic means the coach reflects your voice and values, not a generic script. Grounded means guidance ties back to real information and transparent settings you control — what's stored, what's deleted, what the coach can reference — and we don't sell your data. Impactful means progress you can point to: the call you made, the mile you ran, the habit that lasted fourteen days instead of two.
Happyverse AGI Coach isn't a novelty chatbot. It asks better questions, suggests the next small step, and checks back just enough to keep you honest. Miss a day? It resets and moves on. Life gets loud? It gets simpler, not noisier. Your coach speaks 32 languages, connecting effortlessly across backgrounds and cultures. Your data stays secure, and reminders appear only where they truly help.
Who is it for? Anyone tired of aspirational lists and ready for a steady rhythm: founders protecting their mornings, coaches guiding clients between sessions, teams that want a shared weekly pulse. If you prefer conversation over configuration, you'll feel at home here.
Happyverse AGI Coach is available today on coach.happyverse.ai. Start free, feel what a calmer week is like, and add advanced features as you grow.
Because happiness isn't a mood you chase; it's a structure you build — one honest check-in, one clear goal, one small action at a time.

Watch as Dante's signature style meets cutting-edge AI technology to reveal why Confidants aren't just about growing sales — they're about finding more happiness in how we connect.
Gottlieb Duttweiler's AI Confidant Launches For Migros' 100th Anniversary
Celebrating 100 years of Migros (1925-2025), we've brought Switzerland's retail revolutionary back to life through AI. Chat with Gottlieb Duttweiler's Confidant to explore how he transformed Swiss society with just 5 trucks, pioneered social capitalism, and built what became the nation's largest retailer owned by 2 million cooperative members. Experience includes an interactive timeline, knowledge quiz, and conversations in 32 languages.
Happyverse Beta Launches July 31 - Turn Q&A Into Conversations That Convert
We’re launching something new - and it talks back.
On July 31, Happyverse is extending its beta: you can now apply to create a Confidant - a real-time AI avatar that looks and sounds like you, and answers questions just like you would.
Perfect for startups, small businesses, and professionals looking to:
- Boost conversions on their site
- Screen leads, candidates, or vendors
- Deliver customer support or coaching
- Stop answering the same questions 10 times a day
But Confidants don’t stop at customer Q&A. People are getting creative:
Deb Rosario, founder of Mindful Matter Market, uses her Confidant to help visitors explore her wellness experiences and stay updated on events. “It just feels so much more organic to have my Confidant answering questions - rather than making people scroll through a wall of text.”
Seth Monk a former monk turned life coach, uses his Confidant to share insights online when he’s offline. “I loved talking with your Confidant. It gave the same kind of advice you’d give if I were speaking to you in person!”
lek Chakroff, a Happyverse researcher, built a Confidant of Jesus Christ, trained on biblical texts. It’s a bold experiment in using AI to explore ancient wisdom -and a glimpse into the future of spiritual dialogue.
It’s free to try during beta - and even after launch, you can get started for just $12 an hour. Setup takes just a few minutes. No coding needed.
If you’ve ever wished your FAQs could talk - now they can. If you’ve ever wanted to scale yourself - now you can.

Our goal is to create an emotionally intelligent interface that goes beyond chatbot interactions to serve as a true, privacy-conscious companion – our "Confidants". Recent advances in diffusion and transformer models, as noted in a recent a16z's blog, now allow avatars to display full-body movement and dynamic backgrounds, paving the way for richer, more natural interactions. Building on this momentum, here is a non-exhaustive list of capabilities our Confidants will offer:
