Pictoria, a company developing IP creation businesses using AI, announced it has built AI Suntori Nomu, an AI version of Suntory's official VTuber Suntori Nomu. The company also developed a streaming application that lets a human performer and the AI character converse in the same streaming space in real time. A collaborative stream between the original Suntori Nomu and AI Suntori Nomu was held on May 26. Pictoria stated the AI is not intended to replace Suntori Nomu's activities but to explore new possibilities for communication and expression. The AI's responses were designed to match Suntori Nomu's personality, way of speaking, and vocal nuances, with adjustments to the synthetic voice focusing on sentence endings and intonation.
