Thrifty HoloBox
A full-height holographic display with a real-time AI human inside. It greets every visitor at eye level, answers in their language and shows them exactly what they need, at true human scale.
What is a HoloBox?
The Thrifty HoloBox is a full-height display cabinet with a real-time AI human inside it. Visitors don't watch a video; they walk up and talk. It listens, understands, answers in their language, shows them what they need on the glass, and gets things done in your systems.
Think of it as your best front-of-house person: on duty every hour you are open, consistent in every location, and updated everywhere at once.

Data security & governance
A HoloBox sits in public, so privacy has to be designed in, not bolted on. Every unit runs inside a governed platform your security team can review.
Privacy-first sensing
The camera detects presence to start a conversation. It doesn't build face profiles, and recognition of returning guests only happens with explicit consent.
Encrypted end to end
Audio, transcripts and data are encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access, SSO and full audit trails.
Your choice of where it runs
Our cloud in your region, your own VPC, fully on-prem, or completely offline inside the unit. Data stays in the jurisdiction that governs it.
Grounded, brand-safe answers
Answers come only from knowledge you approve. Guardrails decline off-topic or sensitive requests and hand off to staff.
Retention you control
Set how long transcripts and analytics are kept, delete on request, and keep analytics aggregate rather than personal.
Consent & disclosure
Every Thrifty AI human discloses that it is an AI, and real people's likenesses are only used with their documented consent.
Draw the crowd
A life-size AI human is the most photographed thing in the room. Turn that attention into conversations, leads and bookings.
One brand, every site
Every lobby and every stand gets the same trained host, the same answers and the same tone, updated everywhere at once.
Lower cost per conversation
Serve every visitor around the clock, and save your team for the moments that genuinely need a person.
