What is CODE27?

CODE27 is a multi-functional AI character house developed with the goal of extending digital characters from being merely “screen-viewed entities” to companions that can be enjoyed in a desk or living space. It offers a new character experience that allows users to naturally enjoy the presence and world of characters in their daily work and living environments.

Key Features of ‘CODE27’

A New Viewing Experience: Enjoy Characters in a Physical Space

CODE27 is a multi-functional AI character house that allows users to enjoy characters as if they “exist” in real space, such as on a desk or shelf, rather than merely operating or viewing them through a display. It provides an experience that naturally integrates into daily work and living spaces.

Remembers Conversations, Deepens Bonds, Grows Together: A Unique “Partner” Always by Your Side
