Hey PH 👋 Martí here, co-founder of Humalike.

What is Humalike? The behavioral infrastructure for humanlike AI agents. The social skills your agents have been missing.

The problem A few months ago we built an AI community manager. The second it hit a group chat, everyone knew it was a bot. It talked over people, never knew when to shut up. More features didn't fix it. Today's models are capable enough. Smart enough. Fast enough. But we still feel they don’t fit in the room.

The solution: 7 behavioral APIs

Turn-Taking (Flagship): Knows when to speak and when to stay silent (bundles all other APIs in one).

Theory of Mind: It gives your agent a sense of what people really think and feel.

Norms: Reads the group’s tone and responds the way it’s accepted here.

Persona: Improve presonality so it’s Opinionated, takes sides, backed by real community data

Social Memory: It gives your agent a memory for people, who they are and what matters to them.

Social Signals: Catches the pause before sending, a removed reaction, and an edited message.

Social Observability: Sees who’s engaged, who’s bored, and who’s annoyed.

Model, use-case and stack agnostic, built for groups, not just 1:1.

Extra highlights

💸 $20 in free tokens to start building

🔌 One-shot integrations with Hermes, WhatsApp & Telegram

📄 Backed by in-house research: LoSoNA (social-norm benchmark) + HUMA (a human-passing group facilitator)

🔒 SOC 2 / ISO 27001 in progress

Who It's for: Anyone building agents that must feel human, AI companions, NPCs, tutors, voice agents, groups, humanoids. If you've ever shipped an agent that was smart but experience using it felt wrong, Humalike is for you.

What we'd love from you: Grab your $20 in tokens, and tell us, how did our APIs improve the experience? Try with Hermes, Openclaw, or any agent you have deployed! We'll be here all day reading every comment, your feedback shapes what we ship!

Backed by the first investors in ElevenLabs, Revolut & more. Built by a tiny 🇪🇸×🇵🇱 team that hasn't slept much :))

The Turn-Taking API is the part that jumps out at me. I build voice AI that calls elderly parents every day, and the single hardest thing has been the bot cutting people off. Older folks pause mid-sentence to find a word, and every VAD setup I've tried reads that silence as their turn ending. How does Turn-Taking handle long, uneven pauses? Is it purely acoustic timing, or does it factor in whether the thought is actually complete? Following to see where the benchmarks land.

Hey everyone! I'm Mateusz, co-founder and CTO of Humalike 👨‍💻

We put a lot of effort to transform our in-house research and know-how gained in the past year into a product everyone can use. Today we are releasing 7 APIs you can plug-in to your agent or product

Research

Our team includes people previously working at NVIDIA, Revolut, TSMC and High Frequency Trading firms. Making AI behave in humanlike way in social scenarios is a hard hard hard problem. We publish part of our research, feel free to give it a look: https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.17315 https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.14600

Security We are in the process of getting SOC 2 compliant which is gold standard of security, reliability and safety of data 🔒

Hey! Maks here, Founding Engineer at Humalike 👋

Besides the raw APIs, we also open-sourced a Hermes Agent plugin that plugs them straight in (Turn-Taking, Persona via /soul enhance, Theory of Mind and Social Learning), so you get the behavior without writing the integration yourself. ⚡️

If you're running a Hermes agent it's a one-drop-in. If not, the code is a decent reference for how the APIs fit together. MIT-licensed: https://github.com/Humalike/hermes-humalike-plugin 🔌

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me anytime, happy to help. 🙌

Hey! Ignacio here, Founding Product Engineer at Humalike.

We encourage you to integrate our APIs into your agents and watch their performance improve immediately in social scenarios. Trust me, you won't want to go back to your old agent behaviour. ;)

P.S. Enjoy your free credits on sign-up!

Hey everyone, I’m Mateusz, founding researcher at Humalike.

For me, the interesting problem is the gap between intelligence and behavior. Agents are getting very capable, but they still often feel awkward in real conversations.

Humalike is our attempt to work on that missing layer.
