What TIGEREYE does
TIGEREYE (株式会社TIGEREYE) is a Tokyo-based AI company founded in July 2023 that builds a proprietary multimodal AI platform anchored on real-time browser-based face authentication. Its TIGEREYE Multi Modal AI Framework integrates computer vision (face recognition, liveness detection, emotion estimation, age/gender estimation, gait recognition) with generative AI capabilities (Trinity Eye three-layer LLM orchestration, TigerStream async engine) to power the 顔パスファミリー (FacePass Family) product line — FacePass QR, Kintai (attendance), Key & Entry (access control), Auth (OAuth2.0 login), and Stress Checker — delivered without dedicated apps, terminals, or cards. Higher-order products include the TIGEREYE AGENT multi-channel AI agent, Stress Checker AI Avatar 2.0, AI Avatar Lab, the SecureEdge LLM & Voice Assist offline iOS app, and the jointly developed OFFICE AGENTIC AI platform deployed at Kokuyo HQ.
The company sells primarily through subscription SaaS (monthly billing by users or stores) and a two-tier partner program covering sales/reseller channels and certified developers; named customers span enterprise (Kokuyo, Daikyo Corporation, Solare Hotels, Tokyo System House) and SMB (FLUX CONDITIONINGS, Otona Golf School, Orso Polare restaurant, K-Max events). Strategic distribution is embedded via deep integrations with dominant Japanese HR/attendance platforms — KING OF TIME (55,000+ companies), Bugyo Edge (OBC), X'sion (16,000+ companies), One HR (600,000+ users) — and SI/reseller partners including Hitachi Systems, Techno Pro, and Peers. TIGEREYE has two granted patents (gait recognition, emotion waveform pattern matching), three pending applications including a joint Kokuyo patent on OFFICE AGENTIC AI, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and JIPDEC Privacy Mark certifications, and has raised approximately ¥413.25M across a 2023 seed and February 2024 Series A round.

TIGEREYE competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- NEC Corporation: Japanese tech incumbent operating the NeoFace face recognition platform, deployed across airports, government, and enterprise globally. Directly competes with TIGEREYE on biometric authentication at the high end, and possesses far larger R&D, on-premise deployment options, and government relationships in Japan.
Direct peers
- CyberLink (FaceMe): CyberLink's FaceMe is a face recognition SDK and platform targeting similar enterprise access control, attendance, and identity verification use cases as TIGEREYE's FacePass Family. Comparable in offering browser- and edge-deployable face authentication with emotion/age/gender analytics for retail and security.
- Ayonix Corporation: Japan-based face recognition vendor offering FaceAlpha and related products for access control, surveillance, and identity verification. Most direct Japan-market peer to TIGEREYE's face authentication SaaS, competing for similar enterprise, retail, and security customers.
- Paravision (formerly Ever AI): US-based face recognition and computer vision platform with strong accuracy on NIST benchmarks, sold to enterprise and government. Overlaps with TIGEREYE on face authentication as a service, identity verification, and the broader multimodal AI vision stack.
- Cognigy: Enterprise conversational and agentic AI platform for AI agents, voice bots, and chatbots — the same product category as TIGEREYE AGENT. Comparable in target enterprise customer base, multi-channel (voice/chat/avatar) deployment, and LLM-orchestrated agent architecture.
- Daon: Identity and biometric authentication platform (IdentityX) used by banks, governments, and enterprises for face, voice, and document verification. Directly comparable to TIGEREYE on biometric authentication-as-a-service, with stronger regulatory and government deployment track record.
- Synthesia: AI avatar video generation platform used for corporate communications, IR, and marketing. Most direct global peer to TIGEREYE's AI Avatar Lab product, competing for the same enterprise avatar-generation budget.
- Kairos: Face recognition API and SDK provider with focus on ethical AI and identity verification, including emotion and demographic analysis. Closely matches TIGEREYE's browser-deployable face recognition plus emotion/age/gender estimation product positioning.
Others
- SoftBank Robotics: Pepper+ robot vendor and TIGEREYE integration partner for the reception AI solution. Adjacent rather than competitive — SoftBank provides the robotics platform while TIGEREYE provides the face authentication and conversation layer, making them co-sellers in the smart reception market.
Emerging players
- YITU Technology: AI company with face recognition, computer vision, and multimodal AI products deployed across Asia in public security, healthcare, and enterprise. Comparable technology stack and multimodal AI platform ambition, though focused on different geographic and vertical markets than TIGEREYE.
