Kami Care introduces Mimo, an AI companion for families living apart.

Mimo brings Kami Care's privacy-first care intelligence into a warm, huggable AI pet that helps families stay connected through conversation, daily reminders, and gentle care signals.

Mimo AI companion launch on Makuake

Why Mimo matters

A softer way to support independence.

Families want reassurance, but many older adults do not want care to feel like surveillance. Mimo approaches that tension from a different direction: companionship first, intelligence in the background, and privacy by design.

Instead of asking families to constantly look in, Mimo is designed to create natural moments of connection. As conversations and routines build over time, families can better understand small changes that may deserve attention.

The launch extends Kami Care beyond detection and response into a more everyday form of care: emotional presence, routine support, and AI-native signals that can help families act earlier.

Core experience

Built around warmth, privacy, and useful care signals.

Conversation-first care

Mimo is designed around everyday conversation, helping loved ones feel close without turning care into constant monitoring.

Family visibility

The companion app can preserve recent conversation records so families can understand how a loved one is doing over time.

Privacy-first connection

Mimo avoids camera-based peeking and focuses on warm interaction, routine support, and meaningful care signals.

Helpful reminders

Families can set reminders for moments such as medication, appointments, and meals, helping daily care feel more natural.

Makuake project

Now available for support purchase in Japan.

The Makuake project introduces Mimo to Japanese families with early supporter plans, including options that combine Mimo with Kami Care watch-over capabilities.
