[Exhibition Report] TOKYO DIGICONX 2026

Hello!

We recently exhibited at TOKYO DIGICONX 2026, and here is our report!

TOKYO DIGICONX 2026

TOKYO DIGICONX 2026 is a comprehensive trade show themed on XR, the metaverse, AI, and Web3, held January 8 (Thu) through 10 (Sat), 2026, in the South 3 and 4 Halls of Tokyo Big Sight.

Its official name is the 3rd "TOKYO XR, Metaverse & Content Business World" (第3回 TOKYO XR・メタバース&コンテンツビジネスワールド), organized by the XR/Metaverse Industry Exhibition Executive Committee, which comprises the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the XR Consortium, Metaverse Japan, and the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

With more than 180 startups and companies exhibiting across three days — business days (January 8 and 9) and a public day (January 10) — the event offered a firsthand look at the front lines of XR, the metaverse, and AI.

Tokyo Big Sight in Winter

Tokyo Big Sight in early January, just after the New Year. Setting the holiday mood aside, we arrived at the venue fired up and ready 💪

The sea breeze in Ariake was a bit chilly, but it sharpened our focus ❄️

Inside the venue, many exhibitors were already deep in preparation — some doing final checks with XR headsets on, others projecting demo footage onto large displays... The atmosphere of a true festival of digital content got us excited too!

What We Exhibited

Our booth mainly featured:

  • The LLM integration platform "Bestllam®"
  • The AI avatar video generation service "MotionVox®"

We had the pleasure of introducing both!

Beyond AI Chat

Bestllam has evolved dramatically in the year since DIGICONX 2025!

In our day-to-day conversations with customers, we often hear common challenges around putting AI to work. We received many of the same comments and questions at TOKYO DIGICONX this time as well.

"Chat AI is handy, but in the end it stops at looking things up and drafting documents. The moment we try to connect it to our business systems, we have to build everything ourselves."

"We rolled out an AI chat tool, but only a handful of tech-savvy employees use it. It never takes hold on the front lines."

"ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini... there are too many services, and we can't tell which is best. We'd like to use different ones for different purposes, but signing up for each separately is a hassle."

We received many questions and requests about the challenges companies face as AI adoption matures — and Bestllam has evolved substantially in response

AI chat has gone mainstream, and "asking an AI a question" is now taken for granted. However,
the next step — connecting AI to your own operations and data to solve problems across the whole organization — is one that many companies have yet to take.

Introducing Bestllam®

Bestllam is the LLM integration platform we built to solve exactly these challenges.

From commercial models such as GPT-5.2, Claude 4.5 Opus, and Gemini 3 Pro to open models such as DeepSeek, Qwen, and Llama, more than 20 LLMs are available on a single platform. Contracts are consolidated into Bestllam alone, eliminating the hassle of managing multiple services separately.

But Bestllam's strength is not just "chatting with many different AIs."

Its business system integration features make it possible to search across internal databases for the information you need, generate reports from the numbers on your management dashboard, and automate work by connecting to core business systems.

Bestllam integrates easily with databases and business systems

Beyond answering questions in chat, connecting to a company's existing systems lets AI drive productivity across the entire organization. That is Bestllam's greatest strength.

In addition, its multimodal capabilities provide advanced support for image generation with the much-talked-about Nano Banana Pro 🍌 and more.

We Also Introduced Our AI Adoption Consulting

Another challenge drawing attention lately is getting AI to take root in the workplace.

It was a talking point at CES 2026 in North America as well:

"we introduced AI (chat and the like), but it never takes hold on the front lines"

is a challenge already recognized in the United States — often first to face such issues — and it appears to be surfacing at forward-leaning companies in Japan too.

For these challenges, we also introduced our AI adoption consulting service.

Installing a tool does not, by itself, change an organization.

Which tasks should AI be applied to? How do you get it to permeate the front lines? How do you get employees to see AI-driven change in their work as their own, feel its benefits firsthand, and how do you measure those benefits?

By providing hands-on support from this "AI adoption design" phase through actual tool rollout, we aim for a state where AI truly takes root in the organization.

MotionVox®

We also introduced our AI avatar video generation service "MotionVox®".

It generates realistic AI avatar videos from just text, audio, or a selfie video, and with its natural affinity for the XR and metaverse space, it drew interest from many visitors.

Looking Back on the Exhibition

Coming out of TOKYO DIGICONX 2026, we could feel firsthand how rapidly XR, the metaverse, and AI are converging to create new value.

Over the three-day run, we were fortunate to meet people from diverse backgrounds — startups, large enterprises, academic institutions, and investors. From deep technical discussions to concrete conversations about adoption, it was a densely packed time of dialogue.

We came away with a renewed sense of how broad the range of challenges our solutions can address is, and we will certainly put the valuable feedback and new connections from these three days to work in our product development and business going forward.

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited, to our fellow exhibitors, and to the XR/Metaverse Industry Exhibition Executive Committee for planning and running such a wonderful event.

We look forward to seeing you next time, in even more evolved form!

Thank you very much for visiting!

See you next time! 🎉
