One Visit

Here is how one customer visit gets handled.

Hours with no one on site, hands tied up repeating the same explanation, guiding visitors from abroad. Put one AI staff member in that gap. We design the flow from arrival to send-off for each shop, and connect notifications (SMS/LINE) and your existing systems.

A locker-based, unstaffed drop-off shop. From arrival to sending the ticket, the whole sequence runs with no staff present.

Reception screen: four buttons and a mic to talk to

Put common questions such as hours, directions, pricing, and services on buttons. Press one or just speak, and the avatar answers with voice and captions. Button items can be changed per shop.

Features

What the base app already does. From here, we tailor it to your shop.

01 — API KEY

AI connects through each provider's API. The key is in your name

Conversations run on an API key from OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini. You pay only for what you use (from a few hundred yen per month), directly to the provider. We neither route nor hold it, and we set the key up with you at onboarding.

  • Works with any one of OpenAI / Claude / Gemini
  • OpenAI is the easiest if you also want speech recognition and synthesis

02 — YOUR INFO

Register your own information yourself

Register common questions such as hours, directions, and pricing as quick-action buttons. The avatar answers the question that was pressed. A knowledge base (RAG) that reads whole brochures or FAQs is also available.

  • Caption font and size are adjustable

03 — SIGNAGE

Portrait signage supported out of the box

Whether on portrait signage or a landscape monitor, the AI avatar screen switches layout automatically. It starts on power-up, stays full screen, and recovers automatically if it stops. It can be left in place at the storefront.

  • Automatic portrait and landscape layouts
  • Auto start, always full screen, auto recovery
  • Blocked-word filter, conversation history export to CSV

Custom Development

We design an AI staff member around your shop's workflow.

Rather than dropping in a standard receptionist, we shape it into something you can hand actual work to. Your contact is not a salesperson but the developer who builds the app — from design through integration to live operation.

Workflow design and integration

Arrival → greeting → guidance → answers → confirmation → notification → send-off. We translate your shop's flow directly into conversation and screen flow.

  • Lines and screens for each scene
  • Step-by-step guidance and completion checks
  • Escape routes for exceptions (contacts, staff call)

Notifications and system integration

Sending tickets and room numbers by SMS/LINE, matching against booking and reception systems, linking to done buttons and sensors.

Answers from your own materials (RAG)

Register FAQs, brochures, and website content so it answers with your shop's information. We can do the registration for you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The points people most often check before getting started.

What is an API key, and why is it needed?

It is a key (a string of characters) issued by each AI provider to use its conversational AI. OpenAI, Claude (Anthropic), and Gemini (Google) are supported; enter the API key from any one of them in the settings screen and conversations can begin. If unsure, OpenAI is recommended since it covers speech recognition and speech output too. AI usage is billed directly by the provider, not through us, so it stays transparent. With custom development, we go through account creation and key setup with you online.

What do custom development cost and timelines look like?

They vary by requirements, so we quote individually. The range runs from small jobs such as adjusting button labels and guidance text up to an original avatar plus purpose-built screens plus multi-unit rollout. In the interview (30 minutes, free) we scope what is needed and present the price and timeline (roughly 2–8 weeks). A quote alone is fine.

What can the demo version do?

It is a distributable build with the bundled character (RYUXiA) and standard screens, letting you try the 3 modes, voice conversation, 4 buttons, and multilingual support on your own device (a "Powered by Avignage" mark appears in the corner). It is for those who want to see it in motion before a consultation: choose "Request the demo version" on the contact form and we will email you the download location. A character and screens for your shop, loading your own materials, and multi-unit rollout are built through custom development.

See demo and brochure

Can I use my own character (VRM)?

Yes. Swapping in a VRM 1.0 model made with VRoid Studio or similar is supported (VRM 0.x is in beta). Original avatar production from scratch, or models with custom expressions and staging, are handled through custom development.

Supported VRM guide

What happens when the AI gets a question it cannot answer?

Rather than forcing an answer, it is designed to naturally direct the visitor to a URL such as your contact form, official LINE, or booking page. Staff can follow up only on the inquiries that need it, so you can start without assuming someone is always on standby.

Still have questions? Feel free to get in touch.
