About the Game

All graphic resources and UI were created without any use of generative AI.

AIAI is a "Visual Novel" that uses an AI model that recognizes the user's emotions and gaze using a webcam.

Story

I was living a rigid graduate school life, enduring the pressure of professors and harassment from seniors.

At that time, he appearance of a genius postdoc to help with research, and even AI that works suddenly

Chores, Part-time job, and professor's errand. Will I be able to complete my research in these busy days?

...But why does AI work?

What if the character could see me?

AIAI is designated to break away from the traditional method of clicking on options to increase ability, and to allow the user's immediate reactions to affect the game, through real-time eye tracking and emotion analysis via a webcam.

AI?, No AI

In order to provide more diverse options to users who play AIAI, we use AI models that run locally for gaze analysis and emotion recognition, but we did not use generative AI for any graphic assets (illustrations, UI, backgrounds).
