Project Overview

The Certified NPO Corporation Animal Protection Network Ibaraki (Formal Name: Certified NPO CAPIN) has announced the release of a new web application utilizing AI technology, called “Alter Ego Lab.” This project is a joint development with RATIO Lab. LLC, based on CAPIN’s character IP. “Alter Ego Lab” is an innovative application that allows users to generate their own digital avatars and communicate with them in real time using AI.

Main Features and Use Cases

The main features of “Alter Ego Lab” include the ability for users to customize their avatar’s personality, tone of voice, appearance, and more. This avatar can be linked to YouTube streaming, automatically reading comments and responding via the AI avatar. It is equipped with functions that can be used to support VTuber activities or for operating AITubers. For more details, check here.

Social Contribution and Support for Animal Protection Activities

To commemorate the launch of this service, CAPIN will conduct a campaign donating 30% of the revenue from the first month of service (until the end of February) to animal protection activities. This activity supports the philosophy of CAPIN, which is “a society where humans and animals live together with smiles,” involving the protection and transfer of dogs and cats, as well as community cat activities. More details about CAPIN can be found on the official site.

Pricing Structure and Special Features

This web application adopts a token system, offering 2,000 tokens upon new registration. Users can flexibly choose from token packs or a monthly subscription plan. Additionally, it features a “Voice Clone” function that allows users to create their own original voices, enabling advanced voice synthesis.

Impressions and Future Outlook

The emergence of “Alter Ego Lab” showcases the possibilities of novel expressions utilizing AI technology. Particularly, the real-time conversation feature linked with YouTube could become a new standard in the streaming industry. The donation campaign for animal protection activities is also expected to touch people’s hearts and enhance its social value. Observations on the impact this application will have in the future are keenly awaited.
