BlendAI

BlendAI (BlendAI株式会社) is a Japanese company that works on generative-AI system development and the creation and deployment of AI characters. According to its official website, the company operates at the intersection of AI engineering and character-based entertainment, offering both AI system development services and its own original AI character properties. Its flagship initiative is the Alpha Paradise (アルファパラダイス) project, which launched on 1 October 2023 together with the opening of the company's homepage. The Alpha Paradise project is a character-driven AI initiative. Its first character, Delta-mon (デルタもん), was announced on 19 January 2024. The company subsequently released high-resolution artwork, facial-expression variations, and an NFT intended to signal that Delta-mon can be used freely in the AI domain. A second AI character, Gamma-mii (ガンマミィ), was announced on 16 September 2024, followed by a crowdfunding pre-registration campaign, an NFT issuance, and the release of Gamma-mii's voice data for learning purposes. A third AI character, Beta-mina (ベータミーナ), was announced on 17 December 2024. Beyond characters, BlendAI has engaged in community and funding activities. It held its first fan meeting on 14 September 2024, ran multiple crowdfunding campaigns (the first starting 1 March 2024 and a second on 10 May 2024), and opened a rights/copyright desk (版権窓口) on 7 February 2024. On 20 September 2024, the company was certified as a Tokyo Institute of Technology (東工大) originated venture. It also published a LoRA (beta version) on 22 March 2024, reflecting its work with generative-AI model customization. BlendAI is a private startup. Its official site presents it as an AI startup company and lists news updates spanning from October 2023 through December 2024. The company's activities center on Japan, with its website and communications primarily in Japanese. Its dual focus — generative-AI system development and original AI character IP — positions it in the emerging field of AI-native entertainment and character licensing.
