What kind of support can I find on Sollo?
Sollo helps you find and understand Japanese government support including unemployment benefits, health insurance after leaving a job, pension enrollment, visa and residence procedures, ward-office benefits, single-parent support, and local city-level programs. It converts complex bureaucratic processes into step-by-step guided flows (with checklists, office scripts, document templates, and deadline reminders) so you know exactly what to do and in what order, without feeling lost or embarrassed.
-
Who is Sollo for?
Sollo is built for anyone living independently in Japan. That includes foreign residents navigating visas, ward offices, pension, and insurance with a language gap; solo urban professionals who want quiet discovery and low-pressure social activities; and people going through life events like job loss, moving, pregnancy, single parenthood, separation, or financial stress. Sollo's tone is calm, private, and non-judgmental. That fits how many people in Japan actually prefer to live.
-
Does Sollo work in multiple languages?
Yes. Sollo supports English, Japanese (日本語), Chinese (中文), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), Korean (한국어), Spanish (Español), and Portuguese (Português). Multilingual support is core to Sollo's mission. Japan had over 4.1 million foreign residents at end-2025, many of whom face real language barriers when trying to access government services, ward offices, and local benefits.
-
How is Sollo different from Google or a generic AI chatbot?
Sollo is not a general-purpose search engine or chatbot. It organizes official information around real-life situations rather than presenting a blank search box. The aim is to help people identify relevant public support, understand likely next steps, and verify details with the responsible official source.
