AI products for the real world

AI, with character.

Aperman builds AI products that give digital characters a place in the real world — a companion that lives on your desk and a badge you can wear.

We give AI a face, a voice and a home.

Aperman is a technology company that builds AI products around characters. We think AI shouldn’t be stuck in a chat window. It should have a personality you recognise, a voice you enjoy hearing and a place in everyday life.

We design the whole experience ourselves: the software that gives a character its memory and voice, and the hardware it lives in. That way every product feels like one thing, not a collection of parts.

  • Character first

    Personality, voice and memory come first. The technology is there to serve the character.

  • Hardware and software, together

    We design circuit boards, enclosures and software side by side, so they work as one product.

  • Made for everyday life

    Our products sit on your desk or hang from your lanyard, not just inside an app.

What we’re building

Two products, one idea: AI characters that live in the real world, not only in an app.

AI companion

4D Avatar

A 3D companion that lives on your desk.

4D Avatar is a physical AI companion: an animated 3D character inside a desktop device, with a personality of its own. It chats with you, answers in an expressive voice, remembers what matters to you and can even draw you a picture.

  • Natural conversation with a consistent personality
  • Expressive voice with emotion and timing
  • Remembers your facts and preferences
  • Draws pictures when you ask

Wearable

AI Badge

Your character, on a lanyard.

AI Badge is a wearable character display. A large, bright portrait screen sits in a slim transparent case that shows off the electronics inside, and plays your character’s artwork and animations wherever you go.

  • Large portrait screen in a clear case
  • Plays fully offline
  • Charges over USB-C
  • Hangs from a lanyard or key ring
