From the Day You Welcome Your Puppy or Kitten to a Lifetime: PetMemory.AI, the AI-Powered Pet Life Log, Evolves with Integrated Photo Album, AI Health Journal, and AI Care Consultation in One App

Newuji Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo / CEO: Yukihiro Kashiwaguchi, hereinafter "the company") has significantly upgraded and launched its AI-powered life logging service for pets, "PetMemory.AI (Pet Memory)."

With this upgrade, PetMemory.AI has evolved from its original role as an AI grief support tool for those who have lost beloved pets, into a service that accompanies pets throughout their entire lives—starting from the very day a puppy or kitten is welcomed home, through daily memory logging, health management, care consultations, and even beyond the day of farewell.

PetMemory.AI has now become a lifelong companion service for pets.

Three new features have been added: "AI Pet Care Consultation (β)," "AI Health Journal," and "Story Inheritance." Photos and videos can be stored with unlimited capacity, and on the existing platform that already provides AI conversations and memory albums, PetMemory.AI has been reborn as the first app every pet owner should use.

Our concept is "Memory, not Memorial."

A pet's story doesn't begin at farewell—it begins on the day they are welcomed home.

PetMemory.AI: An AI companion for your pet's entire life.

■ Background: 15.67 Million “Family Members” and Limited Time Together

According to the "2025 (Reiwa 7) National Dog and Cat Ownership Survey" by the Japan Pet Food Association, there are approximately 6.82 million dogs and 8.847 million cats kept as pets in Japan, totaling approximately 15.667 million.

The total market size for pet-related industries has also continued to expand, reaching 1.9108 trillion yen in fiscal 2024 (a 2.6% increase from the previous year).

(Source: Yano Research Institute Ltd., "Survey on the Pet Business (2025)," published August 21, 2025)

However, the time we can spend with our pets is limited.

The same survey reports the average lifespan of dogs as approximately 14.8 years and cats as approximately 16 years.

Although lifespans are gradually increasing, a decade or so in human terms represents an entire lifetime for a pet.

And in many households, the following common situations occur:

Photos and videos pile up on smartphones, buried and unorganized

Vaccination and medical visit records remain on paper or scattered notes

At night or during first-time pet ownership, owners feel anxious with questions like "Is this okay?" but have no one to easily consult

And after saying goodbye, they realize, "I wish I had preserved more."

"Photo album apps," "health management apps," "pet loss support services"

Until now, these have existed separately.

PetMemory.AI connects them all along a single timeline: the pet's entire life.

This is not about "someday."

An ordinary day today is a day that will never return.

That's why we want every pet owner to start by simply "preserving" memories

—This is the intention behind the current upgrade.

■ Concept: A Two-Layer Structure That Changes Appearance Based on User Situation

PetMemory.AI is designed with a "two-layer structure" where the same single app changes its appearance based on the user's situation.

【Surface Layer】

Preserve every daily memory: welcoming → daily photos/videos → family sharing → growth records → milestones.

This is the bright and joyful "memory cloud" face that actively supports pet owners while their pet is healthy.

【Deep Layer】

When that day comes: AI conversations → letters → animated photo frames → graduation.

Providing gentle support and aiding emotional recovery.

These two layers do not conflict.

Photos and stories accumulated in the surface layer transform into the "depth" of AI conversations in the deep layer.

The longer you use it, the more authentic future conversations become.

—This "accumulation creates value" design is PetMemory.AI's greatest feature.

"Accumulation Creates Value" Design

■ Main Features

Main Features of PetMemory.AI

▼ Memory Album

"Permanent storage" with unlimited capacity: photos and videos can be stored without limit.

From the first photo on the day of welcoming to everyday ordinary moments, all are securely stored in the cloud and can be revisited anytime by the whole family.

▼ AI Health Journal

"Capture and record" health data entirely [New Feature]: Simply take photos of vaccination certificates or prescriptions, and the AI automatically reads and records the content. Weight trends are graphed, and LINE notifications remind you of the next vaccination date.

Before a medical visit, a one-tap "Summary for Veterinarians" can be created to streamline the consultation.

※AI assists in transferring written content and is not a medical record.

▼ AI Pet Care Consultation (β)

24/7 support for pet care concerns [New Feature]: The AI answers 24/7 to minor concerns of first-time pet owners, such as diet, training, and unusual behaviors.

For symptoms with high urgency, the AI does not respond but instead guides users to visit an animal hospital, ensuring a safe design.

※Provides general pet care information and does not offer veterinary diagnosis. Currently under supervision by veterinarians and provided as a beta version.

▼ Story Inheritance

Start the album from their days at the store [New Feature]: When welcoming a pet from a partner pet shop, photos and vaccination information from their time at the store can be seamlessly inherited via a QR code-equipped "Welcome Commemorative Card." The moment the app is opened, the pet's story has already begun.

—This mechanism of inheriting albums from the store is a pioneering initiative in Japan according to our research.

▼ AI Conversation, Letters, Animated Photo Frames, Memorial Day Pack, Graduation

Supporting cherished memories: After saying goodbye, AI conversations reflecting the pet's personality and tone, letter exchanges, "animated photo frames" that bring still images to life, a "Memorial Day Pack" that supports on anniversaries, and a "Graduation" feature that gently supports emotional recovery are all available.

▼ LINE Integration / Family Plan

Send birthday and vaccination reminders, and even "a message from your pet" directly to LINE, which you use every day.

Supports sharing with up to five family members, allowing distant family members to stay connected and watch the pet grow.

■ Difference from Traditional Photo Album Apps: One App for a Lifetime

Main Features of PetMemory.AI

Previously, pet records were managed across separate apps: photo apps, health management apps, and memorial services. PetMemory.AI integrates all of these into one.

Photos/Videos: Stored with "unlimited" capacity

AI Health Records (automatic input by photo, visit summary): Supported

24/7 AI Pet Care Consultation: Supported

End-to-end support from welcoming → growth → senior years → beyond: Supported

Grief care after farewell (AI conversation, letters): Supported

LINE integration and family sharing: Supported

Not just storing photos, but also health, consultations, and memories.

The ease of entrusting your pet's entire life to one app is the value of PetMemory.AI.
