What it does
Assemble a Notion-style avatar from parts - 16 face shapes, 14 noses and so on - or let the AI features turn a photo or a text description into one. It runs in the browser with no install, and the interface is available in Japanese among other languages. The parts-based builder is free; check the site for the terms around the AI features and for commercial use of what you make.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
