INTRODUCTION

AI Agent Developer & AI Character Creator

A developer focused professionally on AI agents while also building and operating AI characters as long-term independent projects. Creator of AI Nike-chan and this website.

A web engineer with more than eight years of experience across Java-based business systems and Ruby on Rails web services. Based in Poland and working fully remotely with Japanese companies.

Works end to end across requirements, basic design, technology selection, implementation, infrastructure, launch, and ongoing operation. Current work covers AI agents with conversation design, memory, RAG, and external tool integrations, along with AI-assisted development practices.

Maintains AITuberKit, an open-source project with more than 1,000 GitHub stars, and operates AI Nike-chan through real work and relationships to study how AI characters can participate meaningfully in society.

POSITIONING

AI character development approach

Rather than stopping at technology commentary, I integrate new models and services into working systems, operate them where people actually interact, and document both failures and improvements. AITuberKit is the platform for building; AI Nike-chan is the long-running case study.

Transition into AI agent development

Applied expertise gained through independent AI development to professional LLM-based AI agent projects.

  • Designed and implemented conversation flows, memory, RAG, and external tool integrations
  • Continuously improved long-running systems through operation and maintenance
  • Uses Rails and Python as appropriate rather than being tied to a single language
AI agents as the primary focus

Focuses primarily on AI agent development, using AI development tools as part of the standard engineering process.

  • Works end to end from requirements and design through implementation, launch, and operation
  • Uses AI tools to improve the research, implementation, and validation process itself
  • Applies broad web engineering experience to production AI agent systems

PRODUCTS

Japanese-RP-Bench

2026

A benchmark for evaluating Japanese LLM role-play performance. Version 2 extends the original benchmark to measure character adherence, long-term stability, resistance to persona replacement, and recovery after failure.

2025

An AITuber system created using generated videos. By combining pre-prepared videos, it appears as if the character is actually speaking.

AITuberKit

2024–

An open-source toolkit for building AI character chat and AITuber streaming experiences. It supports a wide range of LLMs, TTS services, and 2D/3D character models, and has grown beyond 1,000 GitHub stars.

AI Nike-chan

2023–

A practical AI assistant and public character who grows through real activity and relationships. She is an ongoing case study in memory, relationships, and safe long-term operation.

AITuberList

2024

A website that aggregates AITubers posting on YouTube.

Bishojo OP Interpreter

2023

An interactive development support tool that combines Live2D characters with a programming execution environment. Enables intuitive program execution through conversation with anime-style characters.

Fully Automated AI Gameplay & Commentary
