What is Elevate.AI?
Elevate.AI is an emotional AI application that brings sentiment analysis to video calls and streaming video applications. The app recognizes eight discrete emotions (happy, surprised, neutral, afraid, angry, contempt, disgusted, and sad) based on participants' facial expressions and calculates an overall sentiment score on a scale from 0 (completely negative) to 10 (completely positive). Sentiment scores are displayed on-screen in colored circles adjacent to each person's face: green for positive (7.5-10), yellow for neutral (2.6-7.4), and red for negative (0-2.5).
Key features include real-time sentiment tracking with weighted moving averages based on the previous five seconds of activity, an average sentiment score for all participants displayed in the upper left corner, automatic switching between video apps when the active window changes, and facial expression analysis designed to be agnostic to age, gender, and skin color. The app processes all facial images locally on your computer without sending raw images to the company, ensuring privacy and confidentiality.
Elevate.AI is designed for teams, healthcare providers, educators, sales professionals, managers, and anyone who wants to

Frequently asked questions about Elevate.AI
What emotions does Elevate.AI recognize?
Elevate.AI recognizes eight discrete emotions: happy, surprised, neutral, afraid, angry, contempt, disgusted, and sad. These emotions are used to calculate an overall sentiment score on a scale from 0 (completely negative) to 10 (completely positive).
How is sentiment displayed on screen?
Sentiment scores are displayed in colored circles adjacent to each person's face: green circle for positive sentiment (score 7.5-10), yellow circle for neutral sentiment (score 2.6-7.4), and red circle for negative sentiment (score 0-2.5).
Does Elevate.AI store my facial images?
No. All facial images used for recognizing emotions are processed and stored on your own computer. The company does not receive any raw facial images from your use of the app, only information about app usage.
How many participants can Elevate.AI analyze?
The total number of participants depends on your computer's processing power. Each participant's image must be at least 150x150 pixels for emotion recognition. We estimate an average computer can nominally support 8 participants on a video call.
Does Elevate.AI work with avatars?
No. Sentiment scoring becomes impractical when participants substitute their face with an avatar or obscure their face (e.g., wear dark glasses, cover with hands). The app cannot reliably detect emotions in these conditions.
What video apps does Elevate.AI support?
Elevate.AI works with video calls and streaming video applications including Zoom, YouTube, and other platforms. The app scores sentiment of individuals in the active screen and automatically switches when you change the active window.
Is facial analysis biased toward certain groups?
No. The facial expression analysis is designed to be agnostic to each individual, regardless of age, gender, or skin color. The company emphasized creating ethical, unbiased AI that is non-discriminatory.
How frequently does sentiment score update?
The app continuously updates each participant's sentiment score during a video call and applies a weighted moving average based on their previous five seconds of activity. More recent data points receive higher weight than earlier scores.
What affects sentiment scoring accuracy?
Accuracy declines when participants face away from camera, lighting is excessively dark or bright, low internet bandwidth causes image freezing, participants use avatars, or faces are obscured by glasses or hands.
How do I report inaccurate sentiment scoring?
If you encounter issues or disagree with the accuracy of sentiment scoring, email [email protected]. The company welcomes feedback to improve their product.
