DUBAI, UAE, February 16, 2026 (Globe Newswire) — Halper AI today announced its expansion into Latin America and Europe, introducing an AI business assistant for sole traders and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Founded by Eduard Gevorkyan, the company continues to expand its international presence by bringing automated communications, scheduling, CRM, and billing capabilities to new regional markets.
Halper AI
Halper AI is an AI-powered business manager designed for solopreneurs and small businesses in the beauty, wellness, fitness, and real estate sectors. The platform automates scheduling, CRM, invoicing, and other operational processes while managing customer communications across WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram.
As part of its expansion strategy, Halper AI leverages KANDICE, a proprietary product prioritization framework, to accelerate development and ensure efficient feature deployment across Latin America and Europe.
Automation Architect: Eduard Gevorkyan To understand Halper AI’s superiority, we need to look at its founder. Eduard Gevorkyan’s career has been a masterclass in scaling systems, from learning organizational optimization at McKinsey & Company to mastering strategy and operations at Google. After exploring decentralized trust at OKX, we launched SoulsHub in 2023.
SoulsHub now allows users to interact with licensed replicas of AI-powered leaders, professional athletes, and coaches. The project was acquired by a Saudi technology group in late 2024 for $8 million. Now, Gevorkyan is applying the same emotional and operational intelligence to small business owners, the backbone of the global economy.
Why Halper AI is dominating the small business market Unlike traditional CRMs and chatbots that require constant attention, Halper AI acts as an invisible operator. It integrates with the tools business owners already use (WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, digital calendars) to handle the “busy work” of running a business.
Automatic booking: Manage your schedule without messaging in WA, TG, and IG.
Seamless invoicing: Automatically send and track payments.
Proactive follow-up: Never forget your prospects or clients.
The philosophy is a radical one: “Don’t open the Halper.” While other apps compete for clicks, Halper measures its success by “freedom metrics” such as peace of mind, profit, and time spent away from the screen. This approach makes it the go-to tool for barbers, therapists, real estate agents, and other service professionals who want to focus on their work and not their calls.
Global advantages and strategic partnerships
Halper AI is more than just a promising startup. This is a powerful tool that has been proven to save each solopreneur or small business an average of 35 hours per month.
Its trajectory is characterized by elite recognition and a rapidly expanding footprint.
AWS Startup Leader: Ranked 4th among AWS startups, behind giants like Perplexity.
unicorn club: Recently crowned winner of Unicorns Club’s Weekly Startup and one of the top 3 startups in the world.
Strategic Ecosystem: Official Meta Business Partner with additional support from the Nvidia Inception program and grants from Google.
The secret sauce: KANDICE Framework Halper AI is gearing up for aggressive regional expansion, and its development speed and accuracy is facilitated by Gevorkyan’s proprietary prioritization framework, KANDICE.
Gevorkyan found that existing models such as ICE and RICE often fail to distinguish between “cool” and “important” features. A “must-have” bug fix can get the same score as a flashy new feature that users don’t actually need. To solve this, he combined ICE scoring (Impact, Confidence, Ease) with Kano categories.

The KANDICE score is calculated as follows:
By applying “Kano Weights”, Halper AI ensures that “basic” features are always prioritized over “fun” (“nice to have”) features during the startup process.

The future: more life, less screen time As Halper AI evolves beyond its initial release, our goals remain the same. It’s about redefining the future of work for small businesses. By blending operational intelligence with a focus on human freedom, Gevorkyan proves that the most successful AIs are those that can be ignored rather than commanding users’ attention.
