- "I am Ai-chan."
- ―Ai-chan's introduction[src]
Ai-chan (アイちゃん lit. Little Ai) is a special A.I. "friend" created by Hakase Bot and conceptualized by Aruto Hiden to serve as a companion to Isamu Fuwa, Yua Yaiba, and later Gai Amatsu.
History[]
Unlike traditional Humagears, Ai-chan was designed to only listen and encourage people to do what they want. Ai-chan does not suggest or recommend actions and can only provide advice.
After Fuwa discovered that his family was still alive, Fuwa was unsure of whenever to go see them. Thanks to Ai-chan, Fuwa was encouraged to do so. After Yaiba was hospitalized for her injuries from her battle with Ark-Zero, she felt regret from freeing Naki from Fuwa. Knowing that Ai-chan was able to help him, Fuwa decides to lend her the small device, hoping it will help console her. Ai-chan then encourages Yaiba to apologize directly to Fuwa for her past actions, which she did in the end. After Fuwa returns Ai-chan module to Aruto, Aruto left Ai-chan inside Hiden Intelligence to console a distraught Gai. Ai-chan manages to identify Gai problems and prompted Zea to create Thouser using the 3D printer, thus redeeming Gai from his own past.
She later speaks to Fukuzoe of how he'd protected the company longer than anyone and it was time for him to inspire them with his dream.
