Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries worldwide, yet few ventures have managed to blend cutting-edge technology with real-world impact for entrepreneurs and small businesses. That journey began with SoulsHub, a Barcelona-born startup acquired in December 2024, and continues today with Halper AI—Eduard Gevorkyan’s latest mission to transform how SMBs work, grow, and scale.

From Biotech to AI: The Story of Eduard Gevorkyan

Eduard Gevorkyan’s career combines technical expertise with entrepreneurial vision. With a background in science and engineering, he entered the world of innovation by creating technology-driven solutions across diverse industries, including blockchain-based systems that redefined trust in supply chains.

By 2023, Eduard founded SoulsHub, a pioneering platform that allowed people to interact with AI-powered digital personas. His vision was simple yet profound: AI could carry not only data, but also emotion and wisdom. This foundation set the stage for his newest project, Halper AI—designed to empower small businesses with enterprise-level capabilities.

SoulsHub: Humanizing AI at Scale

Launched in Barcelona, SoulsHub gained global recognition for its hyper-realistic AI personas. Through chat, voice, video, and AR/VR, the platform enabled users to connect with digital mentors, thought leaders, and even representations of historical figures. At its peak, SoulsHub featured more than 200 AI personalities with a combined reach of over 40 million followers.

In December 2024, SoulsHub was acquired by an international technology group headquartered in the Middle East. While transaction terms remain undisclosed, industry observers estimate the deal to have reached millions of euros—marking an important transition in its corporate journey.

From Souls to Strategy: The Birth of Halper AI

While SoulsHub focused on human connection, Halper AI shifts focus to business growth. Co-founded by Eduard Gevorkyan and Konstantin Birman, Halper is an Agent-as-a-Service platform—an AI Business Manager that acts as a trusted operator for solopreneurs and SMBs.

Unlike traditional SaaS or CRM tools, Halper doesn’t just provide features—it functions as a reliable manager, advisor, and operator, removing the daily grind of small business administration. The platform integrates seamlessly with social media, messaging apps, calendars, and payment systems, setting up in minutes to unlock powerful automation.

What Halper AI Does for SMBs

Halper enables local service providers—such as barbers, therapists, coaches, beauty professionals, and tradespeople—to run their businesses with the efficiency of larger enterprises, without hiring costly staff.

Key features include:

Customer chat & lead handling – never miss inquiries or calls.

Smart scheduling – automated booking, rescheduling, and reminders.

Prepayments & invoicing – improve cash flow and reduce unpaid bills.

CRM-lite – store client history and preferences in one place.

AI-powered follow-ups – re-engage customers and build loyalty.

Performance dashboards – track revenue and operations.

Marketplace – buy, sell, or expand SMB businesses.

Why Halper Stands Out

The market is full of fragmented solutions—CRMs, booking apps, and messaging tools that are often complex or costly. Halper combines all of this into one AI-powered business manager built for simplicity, speed, and affordability.

Halper functions as a scaling partner that:

Operates 24/7 across multiple channels.

Learns and adapts to each SMB’s unique workflow.

Reduces admin work, boosts revenue, and prevents burnout.

Eduard’s vision is clear: while others build tools, Halper builds opportunities.

The Future of SMB AI

By bridging the emotional intelligence of SoulsHub with the operational power of Halper, Eduard Gevorkyan is defining a new category of AI for the solo and small business economy.

Small businesses often fail not due to lack of passion, but because one person cannot simultaneously play CEO, marketer, accountant, and receptionist. Halper changes that equation.

Imagine a barber focusing on craft instead of managing dozens of messages, a therapist prioritizing clients instead of chasing invoices, or a yoga instructor expanding from one studio to a regional brand. This is the promise of Halper—an AI business manager that empowers SMBs to scale with ease and sustainability.
