MetAI Tomo Now Lives on Our Website — a Web Edition with No Separate API or Server Costs

Our AI virtual human has a new name: MetAI Tomo. Its Web edition now lives at the bottom right of this site — answering 24/7 in Japanese, English and Spanish, with common questions answered in our CEO’s own voice. No separate API or server costs.

MetAI Tomo Now Lives on Our Website — a Web Edition with No Separate API or Server Costs

Have you noticed the little flame at the bottom right of this site? Its name is Tomo. From today, our AI virtual human is called MetAI Tomo — and this Tomo is a live example of its Web (Lite) edition.

What Tomo can do

  • Answer questions about MetAI, 24/7. Services, pricing, how to get started, how data is handled — in Japanese, English and Spanish, using only the information on our official site.
  • Make suggestions for your industry. Say something like “We’re a game studio…” and it recommends the services that fit your industry.
  • Answer common questions in our CEO’s own voice. Tomo recognises questions that mean the same thing, even when they’re worded differently, and answers right away.
  • Listen to you. Tap “Talk”, ask your question, and Tomo turns it into text and answers.
  • Point you to the right page with cards. Links open in a new tab, so the conversation keeps going.
  • Keep your conversation in your browser. Nobody else can see it.
Examples of Tomo’s answers: about the company, and for a game company
Left: “What kind of company is MetAI?” · Right: “We’re a game company…” (in Japanese). Tomo also shows cards for the related services.

No separate API or server costs: how it works

This Tomo runs within the free AI tier of the hosting we use for our website. There’s no separate API contract, no dedicated server and no pay-per-use fee. There is a daily cap on AI use; on a day it’s reached, Tomo still answers common questions and points you to the contact form.

Web edition vs Local edition

The Local edition is our highest-quality edition: everything runs inside one PC, with no internet — a live-action, anime or 3D look, a real person’s voice and lip movement, generated in real time for every answer.

The Web edition shines in how easy it is: no dedicated hardware — just add it to your website and you’re ready. The Tomo on this site is customized for MetAI and differs from what we set up for clients, but we can build something similar for your website.

Who the Web edition is for

It’s made for companies, local governments and schools that want an AI virtual human at their front desk without a large budget.

  • Reception and front desk: the first “hello” at a company reception, a city hall counter or a school office — 24/7
  • Answering inquiries: pricing, procedures, admissions, directions — common questions answered right away
  • Events and open days: dates, venues and how to sign up, in Japanese, English and Spanish

Start small with the Web edition and step up to the Hybrid or Local edition as you see results.

Four editions

  1. MetAI Tomo Local: 100% local. Best quality, no answer limits.
  2. MetAI Tomo Web (Lite): a lightweight edition you add to your site. Live on this site.
  3. MetAI Tomo Hybrid: an agent on your own PC connected to your website, answering every question live in a real voice.
  4. MetAI Tomo Cloud (100% cloud): everything runs on cloud servers, so the whole service lives online. It has ongoing server costs, so we recommend it for companies with the budget that want everything online.
