Torilab is the R&D technology company within NEKSAI Group, advancing AI technology from foundational research to real-world applications and continuously improving it through operation. Our technologies serve the fields of health and wellness, education, entertainment, and sports.
Selected among the Top ~3% at NeurIPS 2025, one of the world’s leading AI conferences. Torilab’s “Angular Steering” research, conducted with a researcher from the National University of Singapore (NUS), officially received Spotlight recognition. We steer LLM behavior in geometric space, enabling continuous, stable, and precise adjustment of AI responses.
Torilab researches the foundational mechanisms within AI models and develops methods for steering AI behavior with precision and flexibility — advancing toward emotion-aware AI systems that interact and adapt more deeply to humans.
Researching how behavioral features are represented in activation space and how those representations can be intervened upon to steer model behavior. This provides a foundation for understanding and controlling AI from within, rather than relying solely on prompts.
A method for modulating language model behavior by rotating activation vectors within a subspace, moving the model’s representation toward or away from a target behavior direction. The method allows behaviors such as refusal or compliance with requests to be increased or decreased during inference.
A method that selects activation vectors meeting conditions related to a target feature before applying steering, enabling more selective, stable, and flexible behavior control. This helps responses remain coherent during steering, making the method suitable for applications requiring a high degree of stability.
Extending behavior-steering research to emotion-steering tasks and multimodal interactive AI systems, with the aim of producing responses better suited to people’s states and contexts. The goal is to create AI avatars that respond more sensitively to users’ emotions.
Responsible for the entire AI system development lifecycle — from design and model integration to operational infrastructure and continuous product improvement.
At Torilab, we build AI products to address social challenges, create tangible value for everyday life, and reshape how people and technology interact.
We research and develop core AI technologies while integrating conversational AI, multimodal interaction, and system operations into products across the NEKSAI Group ecosystem.
An AI coach that supports users in building a healthy lifestyle through food photo analysis and calorie estimation, weight tracking, workout logs, habit formation, and future body-shape simulation.
An AI avatar platform combining chat, video creation and posting, social features, and livestreaming in one unified experience.
Create your own AI character from just one photo, customize its appearance, and chat with an avatar featuring synchronized voice, expressions, and lip movements.
Students can take a photo of a question to receive an explanation and ask follow-up questions until they understand. Learning history, parent reports, and study schedules help families support their children every day.
Practice football through tutorials, challenges, and progression levels, with rewards and official collectible cards providing motivation at every step of progress.
A creator-focused content creation ecosystem developed and seamlessly integrated by Torilab, combining the simplicity of television with the interactivity of livestreaming. Users can WATCH, JOIN CONVERSATIONS, CREATE their own shows, and EARN directly. The system automatically generates short clips and distributes them across multiple platforms to attract new users and drive sustainable growth.
Torilab co-develops AI services with partners, contributing technological capabilities and sharing service revenue.
