Takiki
滝気Voice AI for migrant families in Japan.
Takiki is a voice assistant for parents and families who haven't yet mastered Japanese phone calls and daily-life logistics. You speak your request in your own language. Takiki handles the Japanese — the call, the form, the school question, the kid's curious "why" — so your life can keep flowing.
What Takiki does
- Makes Japanese phone reservations on your behalf — school tours, pediatric appointments, hair-salon bookings, real-estate viewings, rental-company calls.
- Navigates phone menus and speaks polite Japanese to receptionists.
- Captures the vocabulary of your daily life so you can learn the language from real situations, not textbooks.
- Answers your child's curious questions in age-appropriate bilingual voice.
Every outbound call discloses AI involvement
Takiki never impersonates a human. The assistant identifies itself as an AI calling on behalf of the user at the start of every outbound call, in line with Japan's 総務省 guidance on automated voice.

Built on
An open-source workflow engine for agentic systems. Real-time voice infrastructure handles outbound calls; AI involvement is disclosed on every call; user data is encrypted at rest and can be permanently deleted by the user at any time.
Compliance
Takiki is designed to align with Japan's APPI (Act on the Protection of Personal Information), China's PIPL where applicable to Chinese-citizen users, and Twilio's Acceptable Use Policy for AI voice. Every outbound call discloses AI involvement. User data is encrypted at rest and can be permanently deleted by the user at any time. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for the full details of how data is handled and what we will and will not do on your behalf.
