Can't decide in shopping?

Banban Board
  • Think a lot lost before buying?
  • Lost in too many tabs while shopping?
  • Hate using spreadsheets to compare price combinations?
  • Sellers: want to create visual quotes with customers?

No matter how many reviews you read or how many products an AI suggests, it's on you to compare and decide the best for your purposes. That's where you get stuck and feel exhausted.

What's this?

When buying something, Banban Board™ helps you "compare clearly and decide easily" to find the best option to buy for your purposes from all the choices you've researched through searches, reviews, or AI recommendations.

You can turn your internal thoughts — like “Which one is better?” or “What features does this have?” — into visible cards on your private board. You can organize your thoughts and make decisions.

Cards are seamlessly integrated with helpful features like the item Comparator™, the smarter Banban Calc, Happy the AI dog, and more.

Banban Board™ is a unique tool you've never seen before—it's not a shop, social media, a comparison site, or a decision-making tool, but one that supports you from your initial stage to your final decision.

Use it solo, or share with remote friends and family in your organization — everyone can move cards to propose ideas.

It's simple to use. Start by bookmarking products banban (more and more) from different shops or reviews into cards. Then, move better cards to higher rows, and within a row, toward the left. The top-left card is your choice.

What can I do with moving the cards?

Who's working on it?

We are a team of researchers and students from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Japan), the University of Tsukuba, the University of Tokyo, and others.

We founded the social startup Peace and Passion — not for profit, but to realize a future where everyone can live with peace of mind and passion.

Privacy?

Boards are private — this isn't social media.

Use solo or with remote friends and colleagues. You'll create your org (organization) when registering, and can invite others. Boards and messages stay within your org. No messages come from outside orgs.

Log in with passkeys using touch or face recognition. Users love its ease and security — no passwords needed.

We never share your personal data with third parties like ad networks.

Countries? Devices?

Available in about 190 countries. Requests supports 37 languages and about 170 currencies. It's in beta testing.

As it's a web app, available on both smartphones and computers with no installation required. Use "Add to home screen" to make it an app.

Is it for sellers?

Yes. For face-to-face sales ninjas, beautifully explain your products and simulate pricing for combinations with your customers.

If you create a new organization and invite your customers, they can simulate prices on their own until they’re fully satisfied. This will likely reduce discount requests.

Procurement and purchasing considerations become more efficient, along with internal decision-making.

How to Use

Innovative technologies behind Requestland

This includes internationally patented technologies developed by Peace and Passion, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Tsukuba University, the University of Tokyo, Keio University, Ibaraki University, and their researchers and students.
