Humalike is a behavioral infrastructure platform that provides a suite of APIs designed to equip AI agents with humanlike social skills. The core offering includes seven behavioral components: Turn-Taking (flagship, combining all others), Theory of Mind, Norms, Persona, Social Memory, Social Signals, and Social Observability. These APIs enable agents to engage in natural, context-aware conversations by recognizing when to speak, understanding group norms, tracking individuals' emotions and memories, and detecting subtle social cues such as typing pauses, edited messages, and removed reactions. The platform is model, use-case, and stack agnostic, allowing developers to integrate these capabilities into any AI agent, whether for one-on-one interactions or group settings. Humalike's APIs are backed by in-house research, including published papers on AI facilitation in group chats and social norm adaptation. The platform is currently pursuing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, indicating a commitment to security and reliability. Use cases span gaming, multi-agent workplaces, therapy, hardware companions, education, humanoid robots, and online communities, demonstrating broad applicability where AI needs to feel more human and socially adept.
Solves
Current AI agents often lack the social intelligence needed for seamless human interaction, resulting in awkward turn-taking, failure to pick up on group dynamics, and inability to remember individuals or detect emotional states. Humalike addresses this gap by providing a behavioral layer that gives agents the social skills necessary to participate naturally in conversations, making them more engaging, trusted, and effective across various applications.
