As an observer focusing on the global technology field, I have been closely tracking the fierce competition in the 2026 AI social track. While major giants are competing to lay out group social and AI agent ecosystems, a dark horse quietly broke through the siege in late January — Tuikor AI, with its extreme customization concept and leading technical strength, has subverted the fixed setting of traditional AI roles and pushed the “customization” of AI social interaction to an unprecedented height.

In the first three weeks of 2026, the global AI digital avatar track ushered in explosive growth. Data shows that the number of users of AI avatar-related products has increased by 187% compared with the end of 2025. Major platforms have accelerated the iteration of avatar functions one after another. Among them, Tuikor AI has become the most concerned startup platform with its unique advantage of “zero-threshold customization + high-fidelity restoration”, breaking the long-standing pattern of the track dominated by fixed role settings.

Game-Changer: Tuikor AI Subverts Traditional AI and Takes Customization to the Extreme

Different from traditional AI social platforms that only provide fixed role templates or simple avatar generation functions, Tuikor AI has achieved a fundamental breakthrough — it abandons the “one-size-fits-all” AI setting, takes “user customization” as the core, and allows every user to easily create an exclusive digital avatar that truly belongs to themselves without any professional technical foundation.

The operation process is surprisingly simple: users only need to upload 10-30 seconds of video or selfie materials, and Tuikor AI will generate an exclusive digital avatar with the help of algorithms and large-model personality cloning technology. This avatar is not just a simple copy of appearance, but also can accurately restore the user’s dressing style, speaking tone, catchphrases, and even thinking logic, realizing a “digital double” with both form and spirit.

This extreme customization capability has unlocked a variety of new social scenarios. You can clone your idol’s image and voice to achieve 24-hour “face-to-face” communication without time and space restrictions — just like having a private chat partner exactly like your idol, who can respond to all your topics at any time. You can also create another “yourself”, letting the digital avatar help you record life bits and pieces, reply to social messages, and even replace you in simple social interactions, solving the trouble of being too busy to socialize or having social anxiety.

For users who do not want to create from scratch, Tuikor AI has already prepared a character library covering more than 100 preset roles, which almost covers all mainstream scenarios and preferences. Professional elites can help you analyze industry problems and provide career suggestions; ancient knights with a complete worldview can take you to wander the rivers and lakes and feel the charm of traditional culture; psychologists will patiently listen to your troubles and give warm comfort; cyberpunk mechanics can brainstorm with you and explore the boundaries of technology.

Compared with similar character libraries on the market (such as Cat Box), the preset roles of Tuikor AI are more “human-like”: each role has its own independent dialogue logic, emotional characteristics and life background, and is by no means a “dialogue machine” that only outputs fixed replies. With just one click, you can start exclusive interaction. The sense of immersion brought by its high authenticity even makes many users have the illusion of “communicating with real people”.

Multi-Modal Immersive Interaction: Let Conversations Have “Breath”

While leading the customization revolution, Tuikor AI has also solved the tedious and rigid problem of single text chat in traditional AI social interaction, building a multi-modal interaction system of “text + voice + picture + video”, making communication more three-dimensional, natural and warm — this is also its core advantage that distinguishes it from many single-function avatar platforms.

The most popular among users is its “Memory Guard” function — this humanized design makes Tuikor AI’s companionship more emotionally precipitated than the scene simulation of similar products. It will quietly record the small details you casually mention, such as “disliking coriander”, “wanting to learn baking” or “missing old friends”, and naturally echo these details in subsequent conversations, making you truly feel that you are not talking to a cold AI, but a friend who really cares about you.

With the deepening of interaction, the intimacy level between users and digital avatars will gradually increase, unlocking hidden benefits such as exclusive topics, customized suggestions and personalized interaction modes. From “strange partners” to “the person who knows you best”, Tuikor AI endows virtual interaction with the warmth of real social interaction through technology, which is also the core reason why it can quickly gain user recognition in fierce competition.

Track Competition & Industry Reflection: Can Customization Become a New Outlet?

The sudden rise of Tuikor AI has also triggered a new round of competition and reflection in the global AI social circle. In late January 2026, following Tuikor AI, many giants and startups have launched “custom avatar” functions one after another, but most of them are difficult to compete with Tuikor AI in terms of restoration and operational convenience — either they require complex professional operations, or the voice and appearance of the avatar are seriously inconsistent with the prototype, making it impossible to form effective competitiveness.

Industry analysts point out that the success of Tuikor AI is not accidental: it accurately captures the core demand of users in the AI social era — “pursuing individuality and emotional resonance”. In the past, AI social interaction was always limited by fixed role settings, and users could only passively accept the templates given by the platform; while Tuikor AI returned the right of customization to users, allowing everyone to have a unique digital identity, which just hit the pain point of users pursuing individuality and exclusive companionship.

However, with the popularity of Tuikor AI, the hidden worries of the industry about the digital avatar track have gradually emerged — like other AI social platforms, privacy and authenticity have become the two major challenges facing Tuikor AI. Since generating digital avatars requires collecting users’ personal materials such as videos and voices, how to ensure the safe storage and reasonable use of these materials has become the focus of user attention and industry supervision.

In response to this concern, Tuikor AI has responded: all user materials adopt end-to-end encrypted storage, and the platform will never use user data for commercial promotion or model training without the user’s permission; at the same time, it has set up a strict data deletion mechanism, and users can delete all their materials and digital avatars at any time to ensure that users have absolute control over their own data — this privacy protection measure is not only consistent with the safety concept of mainstream avatar platforms, but also more humanized.

Looking Ahead: Tuikor AI’s Challenges and the Prospect of Custom AI Social

Looking ahead to the rest of 2026, the competition in the AI social track will become more intense. With the advantage of customization, Tuikor AI is expected to further expand its market share, but it will also face more challenges: on the one hand, giants with strong ecological advantages may launch more competitive customized products to seize market share; on the other hand, how to maintain user freshness, continuously iterate functions, and avoid being eliminated by the market due to single functions is also an urgent problem for Tuikor AI to solve.

From the perspective of the entire industry, the emergence of Tuikor AI has opened up a new direction for the development of AI social interaction — customization and humanization will become the core trends of the industry. More and more platforms will abandon fixed role settings and focus on users’ personalized needs. The competition in the track will gradually shift from “function competition” to “user experience competition” and “emotional value competition” — this transformation can also be seen in the layout of global AI digital avatar platforms such as HolmesAI and Second Me.

As an observer focusing on the global technology field, I believe that 2026 will be a key year for the transformation of the AI social industry. As a pioneer in the customized avatar track, Tuikor AI has laid the foundation for the development of the industry with its innovative concept and leading technology. It has proved through practice that AI social interaction is not only about “connecting people”, but also about using technology to meet people’s needs for individuality, companionship and emotional sustenance.

Of course, whether Tuikor AI can maintain its leading advantage and become a new benchmark in the AI social circle; whether the customized AI social track can become a new outlet for the industry, still needs time to test. But it is certain that the era of “one-size-fits-all” AI social interaction is over, and the era of personalized customization led by users has officially arrived — and Tuikor AI is undoubtedly the first explorer to open this new era.
