Granizm Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; CEO: Kazuki Tanaka) has officially launched the closed beta for 'Pixi', an AI assistant that resides on your screen. It supports three or more AI models and operates across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. Invitations are currently being sent sequentially to those registered on the Waitlist.
Pixi acts as a character residing on your computer screen, serving as an assistant that allows you to interact with AI via voice or text at any time. Development is underway to allow users to freely connect and use their preferred AIs, including Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw. Android/iOS versions are scheduled for future release.
Pixi is ideal for:
- Daily AI users who want an environment to consult AI easily during work.
- Users who juggle multiple AIs and want to consolidate Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw into one screen.
- Those who want to use AI more casually without the hassle of opening separate apps.
Why an 'AI Partner' is needed now:
While AI tools have proliferated since 2025, they remain mere 'tools' that require opening, using, and closing. This constant back-and-forth disrupts workflow. Pixi was born to eliminate this friction by providing a persistent, accessible presence on your desktop, allowing you to leverage AI as naturally as talking to a partner sitting next to you. Pixi also aims to function as an 'AI Orchestrator', intelligently managing multiple AI models.
