Soul Machines joins AppDirect.
AppDirect has acquired Soul Machines, bringing its interactive avatar technology to AppDirect’s platform for businesses and technology advisors.
The aim is practical: give customers and employees a more natural way to ask for help, learn something new, and work through a task. The announcement sets out potential applications in customer support, learning and development, onboarding, employee help desks, and digital commerce.
Avatars in the applications people already use.
AppDirect plans to integrate Soul Machines into Devs.ai, its platform for building and managing business AI applications. The planned integration would let people add an interactive avatar to an application used inside their organization, or offered to customers.
Soul Machines brings the avatar technology. AppDirect brings a platform and advisor network that helps businesses find, buy, and manage technology. Together, the companies intend to make these experiences easier to deploy.
The Devs.ai integration is planned.
