From Digital Souls to Business Growth: How Halper AI is Redefining the Future of SMBs.

August 29, 2025 at 08:50 AM EDT

Artificial intelligence has rapidly transformed industries—from healthcare and finance to media and entertainment. Yet, few ventures have been able to combine cutting-edge AI technology with real-world impact for entrepreneurs and small businesses. That journey begins with SoulsHub, the Barcelona-born startup acquired in December 2024, and continues today with Halper AI, Eduard Gevorkyan’s newest mission: to revolutionize how SMBs work, grow, and scale.

From Biotech to AI: The Story of Eduard Gevorkyan

Eduard Gevorkyan’s career is marked by a rare blend of technical precision and business vision. With a background in biochemistry and biomedical engineering, he launched his path at McKinsey, Google, and Okcoin, later creating a blockchain for food traceability and disrupting traditional models of trust in supply chains.

By 2023, Eduard founded SoulsHub, a pioneering platform that allowed users to interact with official, AI-powered replicas of public figures, mentors, and even loved ones. His vision was simple yet profound: AI can carry not only data, but also emotion and wisdom.

“Any company that wants to change the rules of a market must go through three phases: war, government, and empire,” Eduard often says. His new project, Halper AI, represents that empire phase—transforming personal AI experiences into enterprise-level empowerment for small businesses worldwide.

SoulsHub: Humanizing AI at Scale

Launched in Barcelona in 2023, SoulsHub gained global recognition for its hyper-realistic AI replicas of real people. Through chat, voice, video, and AR/VR, it allowed users to connect with:

Pandit Dasa, mindfulness expert and workplace well-being author.

Jeroen Kraaijenbrink, leading strategist and innovation thinker.

Dr. Chris Stout, global health psychologist and humanitarian.

Athletes from LaLiga and Serie A, international tennis players, and thought leaders across the globe.

Even official AI replicas of deceased authors, preserving voices of wisdom for new generations.

The platform grew to feature 200+ AI personalities with a combined reach of 40M+ followers.

In December 2024, SoulsHub was acquired by a Russian technology group headquartered in Saudi Arabia. Although the transaction terms remain undisclosed, industry sources estimate the deal was worth €5M–10M, marking an important transition in its corporate trajectory.

From Souls to Strategy: The Birth of Halper AI

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

Unlike traditional SaaS or CRMs, Halper doesn’t stop at being a tool. It acts like a reliable manager, advisor, and operator that removes the daily grind of small business management.

Halper integrates seamlessly with platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, calendars, and payment systems, setting up in minutes and unlocking automation across the SMB journey.

What Halper AI Does for SMBs

Halper isn’t an app—it’s an opportunity.

It enables barbers, therapists, coaches, beauty professionals, tradespeople, and local service providers to run their businesses with the same efficiency as large enterprises, without hiring expensive staff.

Key features include:

Customer chat & lead handling – no more missed DMs or calls.

Smart scheduling – automated booking, rescheduling, and reminders.

Prepayments & invoicing – reducing unpaid bills and improving cash flow.

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

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

Performance dashboards – clear insights into revenue and operations.

Marketplace – buy, sell, or expand SMB businesses.

With these, Halper positions itself not just as a tool, but as the new operating system for solopreneurs.

Why Halper Stands Out

The market is flooded with tools—HubSpot for CRM, ServiceTitan for trades, ManyChat for messaging automation. But each is fragmented, complex, or costly for small operators.

Halper combines all of this into one AI-powered business manager, built for simplicity, speed, and affordability. It’s not just another chatbot or CRM; it’s a scaling partner that:

Works 24/7 across multiple channels.

Learns and adapts to each SMB’s unique workflow.

Reduces admin hours, 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 building a new category: AI that serves the solo and small business economy.

SMBs don’t fail because of lack of passion—they fail because one person cannot play CEO, marketer, accountant, and receptionist at once. Halper changes that equation.

Imagine:

A barber perfecting his craft instead of answering 50 DMs.

A therapist focusing on healing, not chasing invoices.

A yoga instructor scaling from one studio to a regional brand.

This is the promise of Halper—an AI business manager that lights the way for SMBs to scale with ease, sustainably, and humanely.
