XICO is a technology company founded in Tokyo and Changsha, with AI and design at its core.

XICO believes the best products are born at the intersection of engineering and design. We are developers and founders alike — pouring our craft into products we truly believe in.

With AI as the foundation and design as the language, we build digital products from mobile apps to business platforms. And we keep extending that capability into new fields like cross-border commerce and study abroad.

Our goal is simple: to make good products that endure — and travel beyond borders.

What we believe

Taste is leverage

Detail defines quality; quality defines trust.

AI as leverage

So a small team can build outsized impact.

Long-term

We work for decisions that still hold years later.

Global by nature

From China, built for the world.

The best products are born at the intersection of engineering and design.
Yao Kai · 姚凱
Founder & CEO

I believe real product strength comes from building with real-world operations as the premise — seeing a thing through end to end, from finding the problem, defining requirements and designing the experience, to launch, payments, support and back office.

I bring a full-stack mindset that connects front-end, mobile, back-end, databases and cloud infrastructure into one coherent product — and I care about payments, admin dashboards, legal compliance and security: the details that make a service actually run.

I work across Chinese, Japanese and English, communicating and collaborating across cultures. XICO is where that belief becomes product.
