Co-creation Platform
No need to wait for improvements.
A co-creation platform built by everyone.
If you find something inconvenient, report it directly in the app. The AI agent identifies and fixes the issue, often within 10 minutes. When something is fixed, you'll see a record marked "🤖 Fixed by AI." You can see your feedback making the product better. If you build internal tools with AI, you have to handle maintenance and troubleshooting yourself. With ChordOne, just describe the feature you want—no engineers needed.See how co-creation works →
AI fixes issues in as little as 10 minutes
When you report display issues or unclear wording, the AI agent starts fixing them right away. You'll also get notified on screen when it's done.
Requests with broad support become standard features
Improvements requested by multiple companies are refined and released as standard features for all users. No additional fees.
New features are built together
For larger requests, AI prepares a working prototype in as little as one hour. We review the draft screens with you and iterate until it fits your needs. We welcome any requests, no matter how specific.
After logging in, the app freezes if the connection is unstable
A fix was created 14 minutes after your report and released the same day.
Want to duplicate evaluation templates by department
We want to change evaluation items for sales, development, and CS. It would help if we could duplicate templates while keeping common items.
Deadline reminders are sent late at night
Notification times were adjusted to Japan time. A fix was created 9 minutes after your report.
Low Price
AI-native, so all-in-one at a low price.
Instead of combining multiple traditional SaaS tools, ChordOne is integrated with AI from the start. This reduces duplicate development and operational costs for each feature, aiming for about 1/4 the price of using several other services together. The saved resources are used to tailor features for each company.
Even startups just beginning to build their organization can visualize people and company status from day one.
Sign up for free nowAI-era Pricing
If the features are the same, lower cost is better.
Current SaaS pricing is based on pre-AI development costs. Single features can cost tens of thousands of yen per month, with per-user charges and “contact us for pricing.” ChordOne is built AI-native and has restructured this pricing. For the price of a single tool, you get all the features you need to run your company. If you need a missing feature, we may be able to develop it for free, often on the same day.

Where can I compare pulse and engagement survey tools?

How is it different from SmartHR and Kaonavi?
SmartHR focuses on digitizing HR procedures, Kaonavi on talent management, evaluations, and org charts.

How does ChordOne detect signs of turnover?
AI analyzes data from pulse surveys, daily activity, and org chart changes to detect signs such as overload, isolation, reduced communication, and lower engagement for each employee. Each detection comes with recommended actions, so you can respond before it’s too late. See Turnover Prevention for details.
What is tailor-made SaaS?
It’s SaaS that AI customizes for your company and improves as you use it. Unlike traditional SaaS where you adapt to fixed specs, our AI-native approach lets the service adapt to your organization with customizations and new features. Popular requests become standard features at no extra cost, and unique needs are delivered quickly and affordably. Unlike building your own tools with AI, we handle quality, security, and maintenance, so you don’t need in-house engineers. See Tailor-made SaaS Explained for details.
Is it really cheaper than single-function SaaS?
Yes. For example, major pulse survey providers charge ¥600 per user per month plus a minimum of ¥90,000 per month for under 150 users. With ChordOne, a 30-person company can use all modules for ¥24,000 per month (as of September 2026, our research). See Price Comparison and Pricing.
