株式会社エーアイ began offering AITalk® Agent on November 5, 2026, as a voice-interaction system for field work. The product combines speech recognition and speech synthesis with RAG and an LLM, and does not require a network connection. Workers can register manuals and procedures for the system to consult when answering spoken questions. The company describes the system as the first in a planned line of voice-interaction solutions intended to address challenges directly at work sites.
Hands-free use without an internet connection
株式会社エーアイ says manufacturing and infrastructure-maintenance sites face challenges in passing on know-how and training workers as skilled staff age and labor shortages persist. When an experienced colleague is not nearby, workers may have to search paper or electronic manuals while carrying out tasks. The company says the burden is greater because workers cannot free their hands while working.
株式会社エーアイ says some companies handling confidential procedures and technical information find cloud services difficult to use. Tunnels, underground sites and factories can also have unstable internet connections or prohibit connectivity. The company says it began developing SLFramework in 2024, combining its AITalk® speech-synthesis products and vGate® speech-recognition products, before deciding to add RAG and an LLM to address these challenges.
AITalk Agent answers from registered manuals
AITalk Agent combines speech recognition, speech synthesis, RAG and an LLM in a system intended for use at work sites. It runs all processing on the customer’s own equipment, including processing of audio data and manuals and the generation of answers. A worker can ask a question through smart glasses or an intercom while continuing the task, and the system consults registered manuals or procedures to answer aloud.
株式会社エーアイ says existing PDF manuals and procedure documents can be placed in a designated folder for use as reference material. The company says users do not need specialized knowledge of AI to introduce and operate the system. It also presents the product as a way to make experienced workers’ know-how available to others: workers can register that knowledge in manuals, and new staff can check instructions themselves as they work.
The company lists manufacturing uses such as checking work steps and precautions, and infrastructure-maintenance uses such as checking procedures and supporting configuration work. In medical and pharmacy settings, examples include checking medicine-handling and dispensing procedures. The system is intended to let workers retrieve those instructions by voice rather than searching through documents during a task.
Windows, Linux and a recommended GPU
株式会社エーアイ offers the product for on-premises installation on customer equipment and supports Windows and Linux. It recommends a GPU-equipped device equivalent to an NVIDIA RTX A1000. The licence structure includes a basic licence required during development and a commercial licence required for commercial use.
The company invites inquiries about licence options and pricing through its contact form. Alongside the launch, it is seeking businesses willing to cooperate in field trials of AITalk Agent; it directs interested companies to the same contact form for details.
株式会社エーアイ plans more guided workflows
株式会社エーアイ says it plans to develop AITalk Agent as a voice-interaction platform supporting digital transformation at work sites. Planned additions include functions that use dialogue to guide workers through tasks until completion, support for multiple languages and expanded management tools.
