Service Usage Scenario at Dealerships
The service being trialed this time provides multiple content options—including games, fortune-telling, quizzes, and casual conversation—through interactions with the AI character "That's-kun," built using "Kiku-Hana" and the "Rinna Character Platform." Customers visiting dealerships can freely access the service from within the store during wait times for vehicle inspections or oil changes and enjoy the content.
