OriginalVoices Launches Twineo 2.0, Giving Real People a Voice in the Age of AI

OriginalVoices, the human data for AI platform building the human context layer helping models, teams and AI agents understand what real people think and feel, has launched Twineo 2.0, the redesigned version of the original Twineo app.  The new version is a dynamic consumer experience built around continuous engagement, transparency, control and rewards. 

Building on the foundation of the original Twineo app, which enabled individuals the ability to create and train their own Digital Twins - Twineo 2.0 creates an ongoing relationship with real individuals building a differentiated foundation of human insight and the basis for OriginalVoices' wider platform. This includes engagement features where real individuals can share their experiences, opinions, preferences and information across different aspects of their lives. They can see what their Twin is learning, correct and update its understanding, review the answers it generates on their behalf and earn rewards for participating directly in paid surveys, AI-moderated interviews and other research activities, enriching and updating their Twins in the process.

By combining qualitative conversations, quantitative research, continuous enrichment and human validation this creates an increasingly rich understanding of individuals. Businesses will also be able to activate this hybrid model of research and human intelligence where they can speak directly to real people through surveys and AI-moderated interviews, query the Digital Twins of those same individuals, or combine both approaches to explore their Digital Twins at scale. Since launching in December 2025, OriginalVoices has built a network of 40,000+ digital twin profiles  across the UK and US, with a global roll out planned in the coming year. Through OriginalVoices’ enterprise platform, teams and AI agents can tap into this network of digital twins for on-demand human insight and intelligence, including directly within leading AI tools including ChatGPT and Claude. 

David Dobrin, Co-Founder and CEO of OriginalVoices, commented: “There's an enormous amount of excitement about using AI to simulate people, but we think the industry is missing something fundamental: the people themselves. Our belief from day one has been that if you want to simulate people well, you need to involve real people and keep speaking to them.That's why we created Twineo. We wanted to give individuals a way to proactively build, manage and benefit from their own Digital Twins, rather than simply having AI-generated representations created about them. Twineo 2.0 takes that vision much further. Ultimately, our mission is much bigger than market research. As AI becomes more deeply integrated into our everyday lives, we want to make sure it understands and reflects what real people actually think and feel - and that those people have a genuine voice in the process.”

AI is becoming increasingly capable of generating content, making recommendations, testing ideas and making decisions. However, AI models don't necessarily understand what real people think, feel, want or care about. OriginalVoices have taken a different approach -  to stimulate people effectively, real people need to be involved, which is why their network of Digital Twins is grounded in real people, who proactively create, develop, manage and validate their own Twins, rather than being passively represented by AI.  Its approach includes ongoing validation against real responses, rather than relying solely on synthetic personas built from demographic assumptions. 

OriginalVoices broader mission is to help AI applications, agents and businesses better understand what real people think and feel, while giving those people a voice and a share in the value created.
