:''T-AI is an [[Autobot]] computer from the [[Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].''

'''T-AI''' (pronounced "tie", short for Tactical Artificial Intelligence) is the Autobot's main computer system. She keeps tabs on events across Earth, coordinates Autobot forces across the globe, maintains the elaboate [[Space Bridge]] network, and generally keeps things running smoothly at the base... or as smoothly as possible considering the variety of odd personalities that make up the Autobot ranks. She is an incredibly advanced computer that displays distinct emotions, self-awareness, a sense of humor, and -perhaps most notably- the ability to lose her patience. She is quick to verbally berate any Autobot found slacking off or just doing something really dumb.

Which happens with distressing frequency.

T-AI manifests herself with a holographic avatar, taking the form of a young [[human]] girl in a maroon uniform similar to a Japanese policewoman's. It's possible she chose this form to better acclimate the Autobots to dealing with humans, as well as help their human ally [[Koji_Onishi|Koji]] better deal with being surrounded by giant alien robots.

She is reportedly the "daughter" of the [[Teletraan I]] computer system of the RiD universe. What exactly this means is unknown.

''Japanese name:'' '''Ai-chan''' (アイちゃん)

====Dreamwave ''Summer Special'' comic====
When [[Scourge_(RID)|Scourge]] and [[Sky-Byte]] attempted to steal an experimental nuclear generator from a plant in Arizona, T-AI tried to find any Autobots who were available to respond to the situation. Ultimately, [[Optimus Prime (RiD)|Optimus Prime]] was the only one not currently occupied by some other emergency.

===Merchandise===
* '''Ai-Chan''' (KT Collection, 2004)

: This figurine was produced by [[KT]], and included in a set of four others. It is notable in that not only is this the only non-[[Generation 1]] PVC in the entire set, but T-AI is portrayed bathing in a hot spring, and is thus completely nude, aside from her hat. A [[super-deformed]] [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] is seen peeking over the side, and a minature [[Sky-Byte]] bath toy is in T-AI's hands.

: Yes, it's creepy.[http://www.bwtf.com/pvc/kt/]

==Trivia==
* In the ''Car Robots'' continuity, Ai-chan is a "Spherical Computer", akin to [[Vector Sigma]] of [[Generation 1]], and [[Navi]] and [[Envoy]] of ''[[Beast Wars II]]''.

* T-AI is clearly the inspiration for the [[Ai Kuruma]] character in the ''[[Alternators#Binaltech|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line.
