A New Japanese Social Media Platform: The One-Post-Per-Day Rule
am is a Japanese-born social media platform with a unique rule: you can only post once a day for free.
Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information? Fear of online backlash? Feeling down when comparing yourself to others?
To free you from this social media fatigue, am has chosen a design that "intentionally creates a challenge."
◆ Because it's only once a day, only what you want to convey most today remains.
You can only post once a day for free.
This creates a process of carefully selecting "today's one picture, one message" each day.
This accumulation of small choices cultivates a sense of attachment to your own timeline.
Instead of an endlessly scrolling sea of information, it's like a one-page daily journal.
In fact, many people use am in these ways:
* Publish one illustration each day.
* Keep a record of your studies and reading.
* Take notes on your training, meals, and physical condition.
* Write down only what moved you the most that day.
This isn't a social media platform for creating visually appealing or viral content.
It's a diary-like social media platform where consistency is key.
◆ AI character "Echo" accompanies you every day.
When you turn on Echo when posting, the AI will respond with comments that resonate with your feelings.
It won't lecture or advise. It simply accepts your words.
This feature is designed to eliminate days where you receive no responses.
After introducing Echo, the percentage of users who post for two or more consecutive days increased by approximately 2.5 times.
Those who use Echo are about 2.2 times more likely to continue posting than those who don't.
Instead of AI responding on behalf of humans, AI supports human consistency.
That's the kind of relationship am aims for.
◆ Using Coins Means Meaningful Responses
Liking, reposting, and commenting require in-app coins.
Even just one coin, because it's not free and unlimited,
each "like" you receive carries genuine meaning.
This barrier structurally deters irresponsible behavior and slander.
It's a system designed to create a space where people can take responsibility for their words, even anonymously.
◆ Your Message Reaches Even with Few Followers
Even if you're just starting out and have no followers, your posts won't get buried on am.
Posts are automatically categorized by AI and delivered to the timelines of people with similar interests.
Thanks to the one-post-per-day rule, the number of competing posts is inherently low.
Therefore, even your first post will receive responses.
Furthermore, Echo provides the first comment,
so you don't have to start with the anxiety of "maybe no one is seeing it."
◆ AI Talk: AI Speaks in Your Voice
am offers a way to enjoy audio content in addition to text posts.
Register a 10-second recording of your voice, and the AI will create a conversation using your voice.
Simply select the people you follow, choose a topic, and select the length (3 minutes/5 minutes/10 minutes).
Two AI avatars will chat on your behalf.
• Generated conversations are listenable by anyone.
• You can support interesting conversations by sending gifts.
• Supports continuous playback. Listen while commuting or working.
Furthermore, there's an AI news program delivered by am's official casters, "Ken" and "Mio."
• Daily News: Approximately 3 minutes every evening.
• Weekly News: Delivered Saturdays. Organized by your interests and categories.
• All available in both Japanese and English. Can also be used for English listening practice.
◆ What am Does to Protect Your Voice
Because we use AI to handle voices, we incorporate measures against impersonation and unauthorized use into our design.
[Registration is only possible with your own voice]
Registering a voice clone requires two recordings:
1. A recording of you reading the consent statement in your own voice.
2. A recording of a voice sample.
In other words, you cannot register someone else's voice without their permission.
A record of the person who gave consent declaring their consent in their own voice will always be kept.
[You can revoke your consent at any time]
Revoked consent will delete the voice model, immediately hide it from the app, and delete the saved audio file.
[Voice registration is optional]
You can use AI Talk without registering your voice (in which case it will be generated with the default voice).
