amoibe

Amoibe Inc., formerly known as dot life co., Ltd., provides a specialized on-the-job training (OJT) service for IT engineers. The company's core offering, 'amoibe OJT', is a platform that simulates real-world work environments, allowing engineers to gain practical experience. This service is enhanced by an AI mentor that provides support and feedback, aiming to facilitate efficient skill development.

The company was founded in January 2014 by Hayato Shinjo and rebranded from dot life to amoibe in June 2025 to reflect a new corporate identity focused on its new primary business. The name 'amoibe' is derived from the Greek word 'ἀμοιβή', meaning 'change' or 'transformation', symbolizing the company's mission to support adaptation to future changes. The firm targets clients such as major Japanese dispatch companies and system integrators (SIers). The business model appears to be subscription-based, with paid services beginning in October 2024.

In June 2025, amoibe announced it had raised JPY 100 million in a seed funding round from investors including Genesia Ventures and ANOBAKA. This funding is intended to support the development of its engineer training services in the era of AI.
