February 9, 2024 — NTT QONOQ, Inc. announced the launch of “Twipet” in the United States, an innovative application that brings your pet’s emotions to life with the power of generative AI.
“Twipet” is an application that displays a pet’s feelings in real time by simply holding a smartphone over a pet. This application utilizes generative AI technology to analyze the scene where a pet is and generate phrases that a pet is likely to be saying in the situation.
Users can customize a pet’s personality within the app, enhancing the experience with more tailored phrases. Moreover, photos and videos captured through Twipet can be effortlessly shared with family and friends on various social media platforms.

1. Why we developed “Twipet”
Pets are considered members of the family. In daily life with pets, they show us unique and funny behaviors everyday. They can be sweet, calm, selfish, and so on. Twipet was created to help pet’s owners enjoy these cute and delightful moments even more.
Generative AI technology recognizes the scene where a pet is and generates phrases that a pet is likely to be saying in real time. This application provides a novel communication experience with your pet.
