In the fast-moving world of AI startups, more and more stories are capturing the imagination like SoulsHub. Born in Barcelona and led by Eduard Gevorkyan, SoulsHub wasn’t just another chatbot platform—it was designed to humanize AI, allowing users to connect with officially licensed, lifelike AI replicas of famous personalities, mentors, athletes, authors, and even loved ones.

And it worked.

Before its successful acquisition for millions by Arabian Fund, SoulsHub attracted tens of thousands of registered users and boasted thousands of daily active users. It established itself as a go-to destination for people craving meaningful, authentic interactions with AI versions of their heroes and mentors.

What Made SoulsHub Stand Out?

SoulsHub was much more than an AI chatbot marketplace. It offered official, personalized, and deeply human replicas of real people, trained on their voice, knowledge, and personality.

• Authors and Bestsellers who shared their writing wisdom and creative mindset.
• Professional Athletes—including football players from Inter de Milan—offering training tips, motivation, and personal stories.
• Coaches, Advisors, and Entrepreneurs ready to guide users through business challenges and personal growth.
• Influential Creators and Podcasters bringing their unique voice and storytelling style directly to their audience.
• Global Experts like Dr. Chris Stout, Jeroen Kraaijenbrink, renowned Middle Eastern investors like Amir Hegazi, and celebrated authors like Stuart Andrews, who shared their expertise anytime, anywhere.

SoulsHub users could interact via chat, voice, and video, enjoying a level of access and personalization that simply didn’t exist before.

The platform achieved impressive adoption metrics:

• 85+ active AI partners representing diverse industries and backgrounds.
• Hundreds of thousands of registered users worldwide.
• Thousands of daily active users engaging with AI mentors for learning, coaching, and inspiration.
• An impressive 4.9 NPS average user rating, showcasing real satisfaction and loyalty.

Partners reported +73% brand enhancement, while 89% of users said the platform helped them achieve better work-life balance or personal growth.
 

These results fueled SoulsHub’s reputation as a category-defining leader in AI companionship and learning, attracting interest from investors and innovation hubs in Spain, the United States, and Saudi Arabia, ultimately leading to its multi-million dollar acquisition.

Eduard Gevorkyan: From McKinsey and Google to Serial Entrepreneur

Eduard’s background included time at McKinsey, where he learned the discipline of

data-driven strategy, and Google, where he absorbed the culture of product excellence and global scale. Prior to SoulsHub, he also led ventures ranging from blockchain-based traceability platforms to consumer startups scaling in over 18 countries.

This blend of corporate pedigree and entrepreneurial experience was critical in shaping SoulsHub’s approach: creating a product that was at once innovative, practical, and deeply human.

A Final Thought

As AI becomes more powerful, we must ask ourselves: What does it mean to be truly human in a digital age?

Is it our knowledge? Our emotions? Our imperfections?

Projects like SoulsHub don’t just deliver cutting-edge technology—they raise essential questions about legacy, memory, and connection. When we train an AI to speak in our voice, share our lessons, or comfort someone in need, we’re not merely automating tasks—we’re extending ourselves into the future.

It challenges us to think carefully about what we want to leave behind. Will these digital versions reflect our best selves? Will they pass on wisdom with empathy?

In the end, the promise of AI is not to replace humans, but to help us better understand what it means to be one.

The analytics firm Coffee Navigator has developed and begun testing a methodology for the objective evaluation of urban coffee culture. The project was initiated by company founder Sergey Baburov. It introduces a unified and measurable standard known as the Coffee Maturity Index. This standard is intended to analyze and compare regional coffee markets.
 

The methodology is based on multifactor data analysis. The Index combines and weighs metrics such as coffee shop density, the share of specialty coffee establishments, the level and dynamics of consumer demand (drawn from search trends and social media data), and key economic indicators of local markets. This approach ensures a quantitative and unbiased assessment, without relying on subjective opinion.

“The market has long needed a common frame of reference. Until now, expansion decisions were often based on fragmented or anecdotal information,” says Sergey Baburov. “Our Index helps investors, chains, and distributors compare cities using transparent criteria. It allows them to see not only the current situation but also hidden growth potential. This is a tool for informed decision-making rather than just another ranking based on opinions.”
 

The methodology is currently being validated across 30 cities in Europe and the CIS. Early analysis has already started to reveal cities with high but underutilized potential. These places often remain overlooked by major market players.

The results of the pilot study will serve as the foundation for the first analytical report. This report will not only compare urban coffee cultures but also help create a new standard for industry analysis. Coffee Navigator plans to continue developing the project and aims to provide the market with a regularly updated, data-driven guide to navigating the competitive landscape.

On July 13, SDLG officially inaugurated its East Africa Regional Center—LGQH Company—in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The ceremony was attended by Qi Jun, Deputy Secretary of the Linyi Municipal Committee, and Wang Xiaohui, SDLG Deputy General Manager and head of International Marketing, alongside over one hundred distinguished guests, including key accounts and local business leaders.

In his remarks, Deputy Secretary Qi praised SDLG’s strategic foresight in expanding abroad, calling the launch a model of Chinese enterprises advancing the “Going Global” strategy. He emphasized its potential to energize China–Tanzania cooperation across trade and investment, and affirmed Linyi’s continued support for international business ventures.

Wang Xiaohui highlighted the new center as a key step in SDLG’s global expansion, especially in Africa. Anchored in Tanzania, the regional center will support localized services and operations, enabling SDLG to better serve local customers and strengthen ties with the region. Upholding the brand’s core values— “Customer First, Quality Foremost”—SDLG aims to contribute to Tanzania’s economic development with high-quality machinery and integrated support services.

Wang Jiangang, Chairman of LGQH Company, underscored the center’s role as a flagship of SDLG’s “manufacturer-partner offshore” model. This innovative approach combines SDLG’s strengths in R&D and production with partners’ local market knowledge, enabling agile, tailored responses to African customer needs.

Looking ahead, LGQH will establish forward warehouses and local service teams, improve delivery timelines, enhance customer satisfaction, and drive job creation. The company also plans to set up multi-functional hubs that serve as platforms for operations, innovation, and cultural exchange, further strengthening the bridge between China and Africa.

The launch of the East Africa Regional Center marks a strategic breakthrough in SDLG’s localized global service network. As the company navigates a shifting global landscape, it will continue to pioneer scalable, collaborative internationalization models—fostering sustainable growth and deeper cooperation across China and Africa.
