OSHIAI Launches Integration with Pococha: Supporting Fan Communication Beyond Live Streams with 'Live Streaming x AI'

OSHIAI Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryota Arashi), which develops an AI-powered fan engagement platform, has announced a data integration with the live communication app 'Pococha,' operated by DeNA Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shingo Okamura).

Through this partnership, a 'Pococha Integration Feature' will be implemented in the management dashboard for OSHIAI agencies (organizers). By leveraging the Pococha API, the system will automatically retrieve information about affiliated streamers, allowing for the immediate generation of an AI that reflects the streamer's personality and characteristics. The goal is to provide a more daily and continuous fan experience, enabling fans to communicate with their 'oshi' (favorite) even outside of live streaming hours.

This feature is scheduled for an official release around the summer of 2026.

*This feature is available to agencies (organizers) who have obtained prior consent from streamers regarding information sharing.

■ What OSHIAI's 'Pococha Integration Feature' Achieves
With this integration, Pococha agencies (organizers) can seamlessly integrate their streamers' activity data with OSHIAI's AI technology simply by entering an API key on the OSHIAI dashboard.

1. Reducing Workload for Streamers and Agencies
Since data is automatically retrieved via the Pococha API, agencies and streamers can proceed with AI creation smoothly without spending time on manual initial settings or updates, such as individual profile configurations.

2. Expanding Fan Touchpoints
Fans can enjoy conversations with their favorite streamer's AI at any time, even when no live stream is taking place. By combining the live streaming experience on Pococha with AI communication on OSHIAI, a deeper and uninterrupted fan experience is realized.

3. Future Developments
Future updates will include features for the AI to grasp 'streaming status' and 'event participation information' within Pococha in real-time. The AI will be updated to engage in conversations based on real-time activities, such as 'A stream is starting now!' or 'I'm working hard in this event right now.'

■ Overview of the Integration Feature
Scheduled Start: Around Summer 2026
Target: Pococha Organizers
Requirements: Registration for an OSHIAI agency account
Data Integrated/Retrieved: Basic information (username/ID, etc.), profile information, image/visual information, streaming status/event information (to be implemented sequentially)
