Nyanta: Japan's AI Engineer YouTuber Teaching Dify, Claude Code, and Cursor

As generative AI evolves at a rapid pace, content creators who can explain new technology in plain language have become increasingly important. Nyanta is one such creator: a Tokyo-based AI engineer who holds down a full-time job while publishing practical, hands-on AI tutorials on YouTube and Udemy.

Nyanta launched a YouTube channel in July 2022 and, as of December 2025, has amassed 65,200 subscribers across 196 videos¹. In April 2025, Gijutsu-Hyoron-sha (Gihyo) published Nyanta’s book on the no-code AI platform Dify, which went into a second printing shortly after release — a sign of real influence in Japan’s AI education space².

Profile

Nyanta works as an AI engineer (data scientist) at a company in Tokyo. The day job involves consulting on data analysis and building AI models¹³.

On YouTube, Nyanta operates as an “AI VTuber,” presenting videos through a cat-character avatar. The channel — called “Nyanta’s AI Channel” — aims to make practical, real-world use of AI, Python, and ChatGPT accessible to anyone, regardless of technical background¹.

What the channel covers

Nyanta’s videos center on hands-on walkthroughs of new AI tools and models rather than pure theory. Recurring themes include:

Coverage of the latest AI models

Nyanta publishes explainer videos shortly after major AI companies — OpenAI, Google, Anthropic — release new models. Popular uploads include¹:

“OpenAI’s Latest Model! A Deep Dive into GPT-4o” (140,000 views)
“Google’s Latest AI! Gemini 2.0 Flash Was Amazing, So I Explained It” (130,000 views)
“Google’s Latest AI ‘Gemini 3’ and the AI Editor ‘Google Antigravity’ Were Amazing, So I Explained Them” (71,000 views)

AI coding tools

Nyanta has also published numerous videos on AI-assisted coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, and Cline¹:

“Unlimited GPT-4 Access! Introducing the Revolutionary Editor ‘Cursor’” (100,000 views)
“The Latest AI Agent! Anthropic’s Claude Code Was Amazing, So I Explained It” (85,000 views)
“The Buzzworthy AI Agent Cline, Explained” (79,000 views)

Dify and no-code development

Nyanta has devoted particular attention to Dify, a platform for building AI applications without code¹²:

“Better Than OpenAI’s GPTs! A Deep Dive Into the Free Platform Dify” (120,000 views)
“[Basics] The Dify Textbook From Zero! How to Build a Basic App in Dify” (77,000 views)

The book: The Dify Textbook, From Zero

Published by Gijutsu-Hyoron-sha in April 2025, Zero kara Wakaru Dify no Kyokasho — Seisei AI × No-Code de Kantan Gyomu Koritsuka (“The Dify Textbook, From Zero: Easy Business Efficiency With Generative AI and No-Code”) is a practical guide aimed at helping business professionals without programming skills build generative AI applications using Dify².

What the book covers

Fundamentals of generative AI and prompt engineering
Getting started with Dify and its basic operations
Step-by-step app-building projects, including inquiry-response bots, web search, and meeting-notes generation
Connecting Dify to proprietary data using RAG (retrieval-augmented generation)
Extending functionality through integration with external systems
Understanding and using AI agents

The sample apps featured in the book are published on Nyanta’s GitHub, letting readers follow along with the actual code⁴. The book went into a second printing shortly after release and has been well received as an introductory guide to Dify⁵.

Udemy courses

On Udemy, Nyanta offers courses on AI, machine learning, and data analysis, with more than 6,000 students enrolled³. The courses draw on hands-on professional experience in data analysis and AI model development.

Content style

Nyanta’s videos share a few consistent traits:

Hands-on emphasis: Explanations go beyond theory, walking through tools in real use
Fast turnaround on new releases: New explainer videos typically follow soon after a new AI model or tool launches
Beginner-friendly explanations: Technical jargon is broken down into accessible terms
A humble tone: The channel description reads, “I’m still learning every day myself, so there may be mistakes in what I share — I’d appreciate it if you point them out”¹

For anyone tracking the latest AI developments or looking to learn practical ways to use AI tools, Nyanta’s content is a useful resource.
