SoulLink: A beta virtual companion with voice and memory terms
SoulLink’s public page invites people to “Try Beta” with a 4D virtual-human companion and says its official launch is planned for September 2026. The product promise is relational: a named virtual character with real-time 3D presence, narrative, memory, and voice/chat interaction.
The user decision is whether the companion’s memory and data boundary are understandable before a person begins a relationship with it. The saved terms, effective July 28, 2025, say users may need Apple, Google, or another third-party login. They describe voice input and chat data being processed for interactive and memory-based features, with anonymized data potentially stored for optional AI training and model improvement. The terms also say users may request deletion of their data.
That gives a concrete first evaluation. Ask what the character remembers after two sessions, whether a user can inspect or correct that memory, and what is deleted when they request deletion. Keep the beta and launch language tied to the September 20, 2026 source date. The page’s star quote and launch framing do not establish engagement, safety, retention, or relationship outcomes.
