Message from CEO


Towards a society where no one gives up on their ideal self.

Many wish to be "who they truly want to be" but find themselves unable to take that first step.
This isn't due to a lack of individual ability or motivation.
In our relationships, we so often put the urge to please others and how others see us first that we end up bottling up our true feelings without realizing it.
Even the desire to change can sometimes be hindered by "fear" within society.

For many years, I have been deeply involved in nursing care and disability support as someone personally affected, watching those caught in the struggle up close.
I have personally experienced the profound "emotional barriers" that cannot be overcome even with maximum effort on the front lines,
and the unspoken suffering shared by both those providing and receiving support.
Our strong desire to "use our expertise not for the benefit of a select few, but to make the world a little better" is our origin.

We have developed an AI that combines insights from neuroscience with the "tacit knowledge" cultivated by experts over many years.
Unlike humans, AI doesn't second-guess what you want to hear, and it never judges you.
It will be by your side 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, offering support without any bias.
We believe in the "power of technology to create psychological safety," allowing individuals to "reveal their true feelings,
which they couldn't tell anyone else, precisely because it's an AI, and to truly face themselves."
Instead of using the rapid advancements in AI to widen disparities,
we aim to turn it into a gentle infrastructure that helps everyone pursue their ideal self.
Because we understand the pain on the front lines,
we will continue to strive to maximize human potential through technology and realize a world where everyone can take their own unique step forward.
