Individual Empire

Individual Empire

Emotionally intelligent digital twins that help creators scale and monetise their content.

The Creator's Dilemma

  • 200 DMs/day you can't answer
  • Students at 3am in another timezone
  • Prospects go cold before you respond
  • Fans feel ignored because you're one person
"Personal connection built your audience. But personal connection doesn't scale."— The Creator's Dilemma

Current Solutions Fail

  • Hire a team? They notice instantly. Not you.
  • Use a chatbot? Generic. Cold. 83% won't trust it.
  • Ignore messages? Lose sales. Damage reputation.
  • 45M professional creators face this exact problem
"Every existing solution tries to scale communication, not the creator themselves."— The real gap

Individual Empire: The Creator Platform

One platform. Every voice AI. Every avatar provider. Every creator tool.

We integrate them all—so you get the best technology without the complexity.

Why Current Solutions Fail

Every existing solution tries to scale communication, not the creator themselves.

Hire a Team

$30K+/year
  • Audiences notice instantly
  • Responses stop feeling personal
  • The voice isn't yours anymore
  • Destroys what made you successful

Text Chatbots

$50-500/mo
  • Generic and corporate-feeling
  • 83% of Gen Z won't trust it
  • Can't detect emotional nuance
  • Strips away personality

Ignore Messages

Free (but costly)
  • Lose sales to delayed responses
  • Damage reputation over time
  • Break the connection that built you
  • Fans feel unvalued and leave

The Real Problem

Existing AI solutions are complex to build—and then don't even produce positive ROI.

Weeks of setup. Developer costs. Integration headaches. And after all that? Just another cost centre eating into margins.

Individual Empire: 15 minutes to live. Revenue from day one.

Three Things Nobody Else Can Match

We're the only creator platform that takes voice AI seriously.

1. Ready in 15 Minutes

No developers. No weeks of setup. Upload content, clone voice, choose avatar—done. Live today, not next quarter.

2. Superior Knowledge

Four-layer pipeline: vector + taxonomy + lexical + knowledge graphs. Your twin navigates nuance, not just keywords.

3. Built to Monetise

Revenue centre, not cost centre. Gate access for subscribers. Per-session pricing. Premium tiers. Your twin generates income.

The Monetisation Advantage

Gated Access
Subscribers pay to talk to your twin
Per-Session
Charge per coaching conversation
Premium Tiers
Bundle twin access with memberships
Result
Platform pays for itself through new revenue

Most platforms charge you to handle support tickets. We help you charge your audience.

Market Opportunity

We're not in the voice AI market. We're in the creator economy. Global from day one.

Why Creator Economy, Not Voice AI

  • Voice AI providers are our suppliers, not competitors
  • We integrate Hume, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Voice.ai—we don't compete with them
  • Our moat is the PLATFORM LAYER: setup, knowledge, monetisation

Target Creators

Mid-tier creators worldwide earning $10K-$500K/year—big enough to invest in tools, not big enough to hire teams.

Coaches, consultants, educators, influencers—English-speaking markets first, then multilingual expansion.

Competitive Landscape

Infrastructure providers build components. We build the platform that integrates them all.

Key Competitors

HeyGen
⚠️ Real threat

Both pre-generated video AND real-time conversational avatars (LiveAvatar). 120+ avatars, 175+ languages.

Content + conversationNo creator focus
Soul Machines

Enterprise EI leader, now accessible. Studio from $140/yr, Plus ~$89/mo for 350 mins. 14-day free trial.

Best EIMinute limits
Tavus

Developer-first, fastest latency (~600ms). 2B+ interactions. Great API, white-labeling available.

Technical teamsNot turnkey

Our Position: Platform, Not Infrastructure

Voice AI Suppliers
🤝 Partners

Hume, ElevenLabs, Voice.ai, Vapi, Retell—we integrate the best voice providers. They build infrastructure; we build the creator experience on top.

Provider-agnosticBest-of-breed
Avatar Suppliers
🤝 Partners

HeyGen, Tavus, Simli, Beyond Presence—same approach. We integrate avatar providers based on creator needs, not locked to one vendor.

Swap providersNo lock-in
Our Moat

We're the only creator platform that takes voice AI seriously. Ease of use + knowledge management + monetisation. Infrastructure providers can't replicate this.

Platform layerCreator-first
Individual Empire
The Meta Platform

One platform. Every voice AI. Every avatar provider. Every creator tool. We integrate Hume, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Tavus, and more—then add what they can't build: the creator experience layer.

Platform Abstracts Complexity

15-minute setup. No developers. Swap providers anytime. No vendor lock-in.

Platform-Level Intelligence

Vector + taxonomy + lexical + knowledge graphs. Your twin navigates nuance, not just keywords.

Platform Handles Monetisation

Gated access, subscription billing, premium tiers. Revenue centre, not cost centre.

Embeds everywhere: Kajabi, Teachable, Circle, Skool, Stan Store. Your twin lives where your audience already engages. $149-499/mo vs enterprise pricing.
