Exploring How We Engage, Learn, and Act

Aria is the world's first AI Avatar Advisor Network designed to democratize access to trusted, actionable knowledge for underserved communities across India and the Global South. It uses AI-powered video and voice avatars to deliver personalised guidance in local languages, helping people navigate everyday life challenges like opening a bank account, accessing healthcare, or applying for government schemes.
Unlike generic chatbots or search engines, Aria is context-aware, culturally rooted, and accessible across platforms like WhatsApp, IVR, and mobile apps, even in low-bandwidth environments. Users can type or speak their query, and Aria responds instantly with a pre-made or AI-generated video or voice answer tailored to their need, language, and region. For users with limited literacy, Aria becomes not just a source of information but a trusted companion.
Aria advances digital equity by ensuring technology is not only accessible, but also usable, understandable, and trustworthy. It empowers users, especially rural women and low-literate populations, not just to consume content, but to actively shape a growing library of localised knowledge that benefits their communities.
Every interaction strengthens Aria's flywheel: new queries create new content, which expands its coverage, builds user trust, and attracts institutional partners. In doing so, Aria is building a scalable, inclusive, and human-first AI infrastructure for the next billion users.

This showcase introduces an AI-powered voice platform designed to rapidly generate behavioral insights for SBCC. Traditional data collection methods often struggle to deliver timely, scalable information. AI voice interviewers offer a faster and more accessible way to engage diverse populations through natural, conversational interactions.Participants will experience the HumanTruths AI Voice Agent directly via phone or web, followed by a demonstration of how conversational data from field deployments is processed and visualized. Early deployments indicate that the system can reach broad audiences across multiple channels, engaging thousands of respondents within days. While validation is underway, initial findings show that AI-mediated interviewing can complement established research approaches by accelerating evidence generation and offering more human-centered exchanges. The platform's core value lies in dramatically shortening the cycle from data collection to insight, supported by a real-time dashboard. Development efforts have underscored the importance of creating an empathetic, culturally attuned voice, designing visualizations that capture qualitative nuance, and implementing robust ethical safeguards for sensitive conversations. Together, these components demonstrate how AI voice agents may expand the toolkit for rapid, equitable SBCC insight generation.
