Other practices by Casio
ProductivityCasio deployed an internal AI chat tool called Casio AI Chat for use by its own employees. The company planned training on the tool for department managers and general staff during fiscal year 2025 as part of a broader effort to improve workplace productivity.Creative GenCasio uses generative AI to co-design structural components of G-Shock watches, with AI analyzing decades of shock-resistance data to propose optimized physical structures that human designers then refine. This practice began with a one-of-a-kind prototype in 2023 and expanded to a commercially available watch line in 2025.OtherIn 2025, Casio launched Moflin, a $429 robotic companion animal powered by what the company calls Emotional AI. The device learns from its interactions with its owner over time to develop a unique personality, and is marketed as a mental wellness product. All of Moflin's data processing happens on the device itself — nothing is sent to the cloud or stored by Casio.
