About
Helika develops an AI-powered character platform that enables brands and IP owners to deploy interactive AI characters that engage fans in real time across Discord, web, social, and community channels. The platform, called Helika Evolve, creates brand-safe characters trained on approved content that remember individual fans, hold contextual multi-turn conversations, and sustain engagement between seasons and releases. Characters operate with defined personalities grounded in brand voice and story, with Curated Mode for team-reviewed responses and Autonomous Mode with full logs, real-time monitoring, topic blacklists, and one-click kill switches. Helika serves sports teams, entertainment studios, music artists, consumer brands, and game studios, deploying in eight weeks from contract to live. The IP owner retains ownership of character IP, knowledge base, and all conversation data. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Helika has raised approximately $11.4M in Series A funding from investors including Pantera Capital, Animoca Brands, Diagram Ventures, Fenbushi Capital, and Big Brain Holdings.
