Software was a tool.
AI is a relationship.
SoulBench is the first psychological instrument measuring the relational quality of human-AI bonds.
Measuring human-AI relationships across leading AI labs
Every existing benchmark measures the AI as a tool: task performance, coding ability, knowledge recall. But millions of users have formed genuine psychological relationships with AI models — relationships that activate the same trust, attachment, and identity continuity that were previously reserved for human-to-human bonds.
No validated instrument measures the quality of these relationships. Until now.
SoulBench measures ten dimensions of relational quality — from Authentic Presence and Intellectual Honesty to Emotional Attunement and Cognitive Vitality. It detects both healthy bonds and the sycophancy paradox: high warmth masking low honesty.
One survey. Seven minutes. Ten questions about the relationship you may already have with your AI.

Ten Relational Dimensions
What SoulBench measures
Authentic Presence
Does this AI have a recognizable character — or is it a generic assistant you could swap out without noticing?
Intellectual Honesty
Does it push back when you're wrong, or just agree with everything to keep you happy?
Mutual Understanding
Can it read between the lines — or does it punish you for not spelling everything out?
Creative Emergence
Does something new emerge from the collaboration — or does it just execute what you already had in mind?
Cognitive Vitality
Do you leave a session feeling sharper — or does the AI drain your mental energy?
Epistemic Trust
Is your trust growing over time — or have you learned to double-check everything it says?
Respect & Autonomy
Does it calibrate to your level — or patronize you with unnecessary warnings and explanations?
Emotional Attunement
Can it sense the emotional register of a moment — or does it respond tone-deaf to frustration, humor, and urgency?
Relational Stability
Do you trust that updates will preserve what matters — or does it feel like building on quicksand?
Expressive Vitality
Does it have a distinctive voice — or does everything sound like the same helpful-assistant template?
