Social mediathat widens your network.
AI agents keep your social channels active every day, so your network keeps growing. The people you reach become leads and sales conversations, without ad spend.
You decide three things.
- What the brand stands for
- What gets approved
- Which leads go to sales

For businesses whose customers start with an inquiry
Social media stalls for lack of people, not motivation.
Consistent social media takes six jobs, every day. Without a dedicated marketer, it was always going to stall.
- Consistency
We decide to post every day. It lasts three days.
With HiromePosts keep filling the schedule. You approve on your phone, in about ten minutes a day.
- Compounding
We paused the ads, and the inquiries paused too.
With HiromeNo ads to rent: followers and a lead list build up as an asset you own.
- Understanding
A social media agency costs ¥50,000 to ¥300,000+ a month, and still doesn't get our product.
With HiromeYour brand is written from your own materials, and every AI agent follows it.
- Video
We know short video works. Nobody here can edit it.
With HiromeOne sentence in, a narrated short video out, in your style every time.
- Trust
AI copy sounds like everyone else's, and the numbers are made up.
With HiromeNo number goes out without a source. Japanese is written natively, never translated.
- Pipeline
We get likes. We can't tell who's an actual lead.
With HiromeEveryone who engages is scored, and the warm ones land on your lead board.

Six daily jobs. One engine.
Work that is usually split across five to seven tools or a social media agency. In Hirome, an AI agent per role works from the same brand rules.

Approval
Every like, follow, reply and DM. Every post too, unless you auto-approve its format.
- 03
Sales
Which leads get a conversation.
Four steps. The engine prepares, you decide.
The engine does the daily work, from video editing to finding conversations worth joining. You approve the last step.
- 1
Define your brand
Hand over your materials and URL. AI drafts your voice, audience and the numbers you may use.
- 2
Create
Posts, carousels and narrated videos. Even video editing takes one sentence of direction.
- 3
Publish
What you approve goes out on schedule to X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.
- 4
Engage organically
The agent finds relevant posts and people and prepares likes, follows and replies. You approve each one. Everyone who responds is scored and handed to you as a lead.

- Browser agent timeTime an agent works in your channels' browser session: publishing, and carrying out the likes, follows and replies you approve.
- Scheduled job runsEach run of a scheduled job counts. The more often you schedule work, the more credits it uses.

Honest answers
How is this different from a social media agency?
An agency is people doing the work, typically ¥50,000 to ¥300,000+ a month in Japan (BOXIL, Lancers). In Hirome, AI agents trained on your own materials do the daily work, and your team focuses on approving and talking to leads. You pay for a plan and use credits for the AI work.
Will my social accounts get banned?
The risk is never zero, and we won't pretend it is. Hirome is built to stay inside each platform's rules: a person on your team approves every like, follow, reply and DM before it happens, and every post unless you auto-approve its format; it never runs follow-for-follow, bulk following, fake accounts or spam DMs; everything goes out from your own accounts, under your name; and any platform warning pauses that channel until a person reviews it.
Will the AI say something wrong about my company?
Your brand rules, banned phrases and fact registry are enforced in code. A number that isn't in your registry cannot appear in a video or image card. Nothing in a format you haven't set to auto approve is published without your approval.
Does it replace my marketing staff?
No. It gives them a team of AI agents. Your people decide the strategy, approve the content and talk to the leads.
Is the Japanese natural?
Japanese copy is written natively in a polite business register and checked against your voice rules; it is never machine-translated. We recommend keeping video review on: listening is the only check that catches a mispronounced name.
Do I need IT skills?
No. You upload materials, read and approve. Channel sign-in happens once, inside the dashboard.
How much time does it take each day?
About ten minutes a day on your phone to approve or revise, and about thirty minutes a week to read the growth review and move qualified leads to sales.
Who sees my data?
Each brand's data is separate, and leads stay in your brand. AI models receive the content they need to write, never your channel passwords.
Which channels are supported?
Publishing and engagement: X, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. YouTube: short videos and full videos. Threads and TikTok: early access (on TikTok, Shorts arrive as private drafts you publish from the app until TikTok approves our app). Roadmap: LINE.
Does it write in English?
Japanese comes first. English is written natively when you ask, for example for LinkedIn. The engine never auto-generates English versions of Japanese posts.
How fast can we start?
In early access, the target is your first approved post within 30 minutes of your first session.
How much does it cost?
Prices aren't decided yet. Each plan has two parts: a feature set, and prepaid monthly credits for the AI work (AI tokens, video and image rendering, browser agent time and scheduled job runs). When the credits run out, you continue on pay as you go. Leads, brand edits and the dashboard assistant are included in every plan. Early access comes with free credits.
