Plural is a no-code SaaS platform built by Humanizing Technologies that lets you design, deploy, and manage interactive experiences for humanoid robots and virtual Avatars — all without writing a single line of code. Whether you want a robot to greet visitors at a trade show, guide patients through a hospital, or power a virtual customer-service agent on a smart TV, Plural gives you the tools to build it in minutes.

​
Supported devices

Plural works across four device types. Most documentation applies to all of them; where behaviour differs, pages are clearly marked with the device name (e.g. Flow (NAO) or Change company logo (Avatar)).

Avatar

A browser-based virtual Avatar that runs on any screen — smartphone, computer, smart TV, or kiosk. No app installation required.

Pepper

The SoftBank humanoid robot with an Android tablet. Runs the Plural Android app installed via the Pepper App Store.

Temi

The autonomous service robot by Temi. Runs the Plural app installed from the Temi marketplace.

NAO

The compact NAO V6 robot by Aldebaran. Runs Plural via the Aldebaran Cloud app distribution system.

Key concepts

Understanding four core concepts will help you get the most out of Plural: Projects — A Project is the container for your entire interactive experience. One project can target multiple robots or Avatars at once, each represented by its own frame inside the flow builder. Flow Builder — The visual canvas where you design your experience. You connect Elements together with arrows to define the conversation or interaction flow. Elements — The building blocks you drag onto the canvas. Elements include things like Robot Says (speech), User Input, Image Display, buttons, timers, and more. A rich library of Elements lets you build sophisticated interactions without code. GOs — The in-platform credit unit used for AI-powered features like Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech-to-Text (STT). Testing in Preview Mode without speech recognition enabled does not consume GOs.
