Linksouls AI

What Linksouls AI does

Linksouls AI is a private, Hong Kong-based consumer platform that operates an AI-powered social deduction gaming and emotional companionship service for adults aged 18 and above. The company is operated by Viswise Consulting Limited, with its registered office in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The platform originally positioned itself as a privacy-focused alternative to Character.ai, allowing users to create AI personas with persistent memory for interactive storytelling and emotional companionship. It is currently undergoing a major restructuring, with servers taken offline for a backend upgrade and pivot toward immersive social deduction gaming experiences, anchored by its AI Werewolf game mode (currently in beta at 6-player and 9-player variants, with a 12-player version announced).

The underlying technology is built on a proprietary "Privacy Vault" architecture that stores all user conversation data end-to-end encrypted exclusively on the user's local device, with messages processed in-memory (Ephemeral Processing) only to generate AI responses, after which the data is instantly discarded. AI responses are generated using Google Gemini, while persistent memory is enabled through on-device features (Core Memories, Dynamic Memory Log, and a Relationship Engine). The platform also offers a "Magic Brush" AI image generation feature. All payments are processed through Stripe, with the company storing no payment card data.

The business model is a freemium consumer subscription: a free tier provides basic access to AI agents, while the "Inner Circle" premium subscription unlocks enhanced features (Privacy Vault, Unforgettable Bond, exclusive AI agents) on monthly and annual billing cycles. Gift cards are also sold. Go-to-market is product-led and direct-to-consumer via the website (linksouls.ai) and mobile app, with organic community-driven growth through Discord, X, TikTok, YouTube, and Pinterest. The company has 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, and is currently in operational pause pending its platform restructuring.
