About

Soul (operated by Soulgate Technology) is China's leading AI-powered immersive social platform, founded in 2015 and launched as a mobile app in 2016 by CEO Zhang Lu. The platform enables younger users—primarily Gen Z—to create personalized avatars and connect with like-minded individuals through an interest-based matching engine and AI recommendation algorithms, including its proprietary emotional intelligence model 'Soul X.' Unlike identity-centric social networks, Soul deliberately obscures real-life appearances, instead building connections around shared personalities, lifestyles, and interests via features such as Soul Test quizzes and Gravity Tags. Headquartered in Shanghai, Soul has surpassed 100 million users and has attracted investment from Tencent.
