Games
Reversi, shogi, chess, mahjong and world history — six free game apps. Five are played against an AI that thinks inside your device (two Reversi titles, Reversi: 80 Days Patent War and Legends of Edo, plus Jankokushi, a mahjong RPG set among figures of the Three Kingdoms era) and are on the App Store and Google Play; DIVE World History, a visual novel in which you reincarnate through world history, is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
“Every board you win is a patent seized.”
A mobile Reversi planned and built by AICREO NEXT. Race around a steampunk world in 80 days, taking the board from opponents across 5 chapters and 50 legs. The AI thinks inside your device, so you can finish a game even with no signal. Every leg you win is recorded in your ledger as a patent certificate, and online matches, leaderboards and free AI game reviews are all there too.
Five chapters
Chapter 1
London and Europe
Legs 1-10
Chapter 2
Transcontinental express
Legs 11-20
Chapter 3
Desert ruins
Legs 21-30
Chapter 4
Cities of the Far East
Legs 31-40
Chapter 5
Sky fortress
Legs 41-50
The board is never sent to a server to decide a move. With no signal at all, the games and the journey still play to the end.
The more decisively you win, the fewer days it costs. Covering 50 legs and 50 opponents within 80 days is the goal of the journey.
A commanding win earns a gold seal, a narrow one a provisional patent. Win commandingly again and it is promoted, any time. The certificates in your ledger are the record of the journey.
Play opponents near your rating at 45 seconds a move. Afterwards, rewind the game record and read the AI's review for free.

A mahjong journey around the table to unite the realm
A mahjong RPG: sit at the table with figures from the Three Kingdoms era and travel on to unite the realm. Play four-player East-round (tonpuusen) games alone against computer opponents, offline. Rated 13+.
Reincarnate through 4.6 billion years
A visual novel for learning high-school world history. Reincarnate roughly every 100 years from the birth of the Earth to the present and see how East and West connect in the same era. 39 chapters with term notes, quizzes and essay questions. Available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad (no Android version); the app is in Japanese only. The two prologue chapters are free; the rest is unlocked unit by unit through in-app purchases.
Shogi, Chess, Reversi: Legends of Edo and Jankokushi are free on the App Store (iPhone) and Google Play (Android); DIVE World History is free on the App Store only (iPhone and iPad).
The journey across the boards begins with your first move.

At AICREO NEXT, we do not believe in the power of technology alone.
We think about the “people” beyond the technology, and the “everyday life” beyond the business. It is that care, we believe, that makes something genuinely useful.
CREO — with technology that carries the power of “creation”, we build the “next” of your business together with you.
CREO = Create
Creating, with technology, a future that does not exist yet.
Challenges
You are curious about using AI, but you cannot tell what would actually fit your business. That uneasy feeling is a common place to begin.
Without someone who knows the technology, digitisation stalls. You do not have to carry that on your own.
The daily workload eats the hours, and there is no time left for the work you actually want to do. That is worth changing.
You have something to say, but the web is not carrying it. What makes you distinctive deserves to reach further.
Whatever it is, we will work through it with you.
Our Services
Technology and human warmth together, so that life and business both feel better.
AI DevelopmentDoes AI feel out of reach? We listen closely to the problems your business actually has, work out together what AI is genuinely needed, and build it. From streamlining operations and analysing data, to our own game apps that carry an AI that thinks inside the device. Starting small is our strength.

Healing & Wellness
Lunkorlo — a singing bowl sound-health store
Singing bowl sound health
“Overtones that set your heart free”
Lunkorlo is a singing bowl sound-health store run by AICREO NEXT. We partner directly with local artisans who keep the traditional seven-metal alloy craft alive, and select each bowl by listening to its voice one at a time. Beyond the online shop, our classes, consulting and community open up the healing and harmony that overtones bring.
Made the traditional way from a seven-metal alloy, sourced directly from artisans in Tibet and Nepal. Only the real thing.
We listen to every bowl side by side and keep only those whose overtones ring beautifully. A tone consultation finds the one for you.
From beginner level through professional instructor training, courses are arranged by stage, so you learn the joy of playing through the overtones themselves.
A place to meet others who love singing bowls. Shared knowledge and gatherings take you deeper into the world of sound health.
Bring the healing and harmony of true overtones into your daily life.
Process
Start small, grow large. We move at the pace that suits you.
We take the time to hear your concerns and your goals. Reaching out costs nothing.
We propose the plan and the roadmap that fit, and explain them in plain language.
We build quickly and iteratively: start small, confirm as we go.
We grow it with you, guided by the data. We are in it for the long run.
Yukiko Kobayashi
Representative Partner / CEO, AICREO NEXT
Technology exists, first of all, to make people happy.
Somewhere along the way, though, it picked up a reputation for being “cold” and “difficult”. I wanted to change that, and that is why I founded AICREO NEXT.
“CREO” is Latin for “to create” — to bring into being what does not exist yet, and give a new thing its form. I want to create unseen possibilities with the power of AI and IT. And I want to deliver the warmth of handwork, and the value of the ties between people, along that same axis of creation.
Technology and healing, digital and analogue. Gently connecting the things that look like opposites: that is the challenge we have set ourselves at AICREO NEXT.
No matter how small it is, when you think “I want to change something”, please just get in touch. We will create your “next” together.
