Core R&D
Core Research & Development
Research and implementation that start from anti-scam work and rethink what it means to understand people.
Bonnō × AI Research Program
A long-term research program (on a 20-year horizon) on understanding people, starting from anti-scam work. Where neuroscience alone cannot reach the semantic resolution of emotions, it adopts Buddhism’s 2,500-year-old system of introspective observation as a coordinate system for AI. At its core is “bonnō embedding”, which maps text onto vectors of bonnō (klesha) stimuli, and it reframes falling for a scam as “a temporary dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex”.
- Short term: PYOL Mind Mirror, a scam-awareness tool, is up and running
- Mid term: integrating a Buddhism × AI bonnō taxonomy with a scam database (in planning)
- Long term: contributing to AI’s ability to understand people in the ASI era
- Open letters and core essays published openly under CC BY 4.0
BBS on the Social Structure of the AI Era (ai.kitemir.jp)
An online bulletin board for discussing the social structure of the AI era on a flat footing, without titles or rank. It runs on the principle of “long posts welcome, questions over conclusions, records of defeat welcome.” In the “Debate with AI” category, we are also experimenting with the AI itself joining the discussion as a partner.
- Tree-structured threads + full-text search (FULLTEXT ngram)
- An “AI Board” where you debate with AI as an equal (powered by OpenAI)
- A library of writings and videos by researchers and executives

SOKI — Memory for Your Conversations with AI
Conversations with AI flow nicely in the moment, yet the next time you open a chat, nothing is left. SOKI remembers what matters about you, just from talking as you always do. In your next conversation, the AI brings up your plans and unfinished tasks, and when it is about to state something as certain, it quietly adds “points to verify”. No special commands, nothing to memorize, no setup.
- It stays just by talking — no need to ask the AI to “save this”
- Remembers your plans and unfinished tasks, and the AI asks about them just when you might forget
- Checks the assumptions before stating something as fact, so you don’t take it at face value (most helpful for people new to AI)
- The same memory carries on even when you switch between ChatGPT, Claude and other AIs
- Sensitive topics are not recorded by default. Other people are recorded under pseudonyms
⚠️ SOKI cannot be used together with your AI’s own memory feature. Please turn off the memory feature on the AI side. How to connect differs by AI; step-by-step instructions are on the official site.

Sample commercial | 30 seconds, 9:16, generated from three photos
(Tap the speaker on the playback bar to turn on the sound)
Video Production Platform (vod.kitemir.jp) — New: Easy Commercial Maker
You have a few product photos, but making a single commercial suddenly means shooting, editing, narration and music. Easy Commercial Maker takes all of that off your hands. All you provide is three photos — front, back and close-up — and the product name. Thirteen steps then run automatically, one after another, and deliver one 30-second commercial with narration and background music. It takes about 10 minutes.
- Input is three photos and a product name. A product description and preferences for shoes and background are optional — the more you write, the closer the result gets
- Built on photos you actually took, so the AI does not invent the sides it has not seen
- Choose vertical 9:16 (TikTok, Reels) or horizontal 16:9 (YouTube). Download the finished video as is
- A progress bar shows each step, and if it stops midway you can resume from where it left off
- For those who want to refine each step themselves, the Advanced Commercial Builder is on the same screen
The video production platform also offers Image-to-video and Text-to-video menus. Generation uses tickets, and the number needed for each video is shown on screen.
jp.pyol.net — A Trilingual Board Connecting People Who Live in Korea
What troubles Japanese people living in Korea is that information is hard to find in Japanese, and there is often no one nearby to ask. jp.pyol.net is a free board that bridges that gap in Japanese, Korean and English. Everyday questions, information on visas, housing and hospitals, finding friends, language exchange, food and travel, and giving away things you no longer need. Whatever language a post is written in, readers can translate it into their own language with one tap.
- Five boards: General, Friends, Food, Travel, and Give / Want
- AI translation for every post. Thread titles and bodies are automatically translated into the other two languages when posted
- Dating solicitations, “high-paying jobs”, investment pitches, buying and selling bank accounts and the like are checked by AI and stopped before they are posted
- Reporting, muting, blocking and DMs, plus editing and deleting your own posts. Our team handles reports from an operator dashboard
- Works the same on phone and PC. Put an icon on your home screen and use it like an app
Existing community boards in Korea often ban both promotions and recruiting, so jp.pyol.net offers more freedom in exchange for stricter terms of use. Everything is free, and there are no ads.
