Our Products

Two AI products

Create and connect. Two platforms, built and operated in-house, that fundamentally change the cost and effort of working with AI — for creative teams and for developers.

Priority Access open

AI Short-Form Video Studio

A visual, node-based workflow that takes you from concept to generation to multi-format export in a single Flow. Curated premium AI models are integrated as the Vroom Motion / Vroom Photo series, so teams can mass-produce videos for TikTok, Reels and Shorts without depending on any one specialist.

AI API Gateway

Claude API costs at 1/5 or less. Keep your Anthropic- or OpenAI-compatible SDK and migrate by changing a single base_url line. Call Claude, GPT and Gemini with one API key on an LLM platform built for Japan — and use it directly from tools such as Claude Code and Cursor.

Practical AI,
built for the Japanese market

Our role is to translate the world's most advanced AI models into a form Japanese companies can adopt with confidence — at a price that makes sense.

Radical cost efficiency

API usage and video production at a fraction of conventional cost — many times the experiments and output on the same budget.

Security and privacy

No training on your data and no log retention, with domestic serving and storage — peace of mind for enterprise use.

Made for Japanese business practice

JPY billing, invoice payment, qualified invoices and Japanese-language support — removing the friction of overseas AI services.

In-house speed

We continuously update our products as new models arrive, so you always have access to the best AI available.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

QHow can chotto.ai offer the Claude API at such a low price?
Through a domestically optimized inference platform, prompt caching and efficient traffic design, we deliver 67–95% savings versus list pricing. The SDK is Anthropic-compatible, so migration is just an endpoint change in existing code.
QIs my data ever used to train AI models?
No. Both chotto.ai and vroom.buzz operate a strict no-training policy. chotto.ai stores no logs, and vroom.buzz automatically deletes generated assets after 30 days.
QHow much does a video cost on vroom.buzz?
With simple 1 credit = ¥1 pricing, a short video starts at 170 credits (Vroom Motion Fast). Compared with outsourced production at ¥50,000–150,000 per video, ten videos a month works out to over 93% savings (our own estimate).
QDo you support corporate contracts and invoice payment?
Yes. We support JPY billing, invoice payment and qualified invoices under Japan's invoice system. If you need a written agreement or custom terms, please contact us by email.
QCan I use chotto.ai from Claude Code, Cursor and similar tools?
Yes. Both Anthropic-compatible and OpenAI-compatible SDKs are supported, so setting the base_url and API key is all it takes to use chotto.ai from Claude Code, Cursor and other tools.
QCan we just ask for advice on AI adoption?
Of course. Whether it's choosing an LLM platform or designing a video production flow, tell us your current challenges and we'll propose an approach based on our own product-building experience.
