Meet Six AI Companions to Welcome as Family
🇯🇵 Important: All AI companions on hiqoo.jp speak only Japanese. They are designed for Japanese-speaking households. This English page introduces the project. Conversational examples in the article remain in their original Japanese form.
“What if there was always someone you could talk to in your home?” — that’s the question we are asking.

- Imagine the voice — who do you want to be greeted by every morning?
