Shining a Light on Essential Human Potential Beyond Credentials. Interactive AI Assessment 'Calaris Assess' to Launch in June 2026

Calaris Inc. (formerly Solvere; Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shohei Kishiya), which aims to maximize the potential of people and organizations by highlighting, refining, and connecting 'Caliber'—essential human potential—will begin full-scale provision of its flagship product 'Calaris Assess' in June 2026. To clearly embody the future the company envisions, it has completed a 600 million yen equity funding round led by The University of Tokyo Edge Capital Partners (UTEC) with participation from D4V, and has changed its name from Solvere Inc. to Calaris Inc. With the rapid spread of generative AI, traditional evaluation methods like document screening, written tests, and structured interviews are becoming less effective at identifying essential potential. 'Calaris Assess' is a new foundation for evaluating people designed to fill this gap. The core of this service, which distinguishes it from standard AI interviews, is a collaborative architecture of multiple AI agents, including a 'Navigator' that designs and conducts natural dialogue, and a 'Thinker' that analyzes statements in real-time to generate sharp questions. The thought processes captured through dialogue are structured and quantified, presented as reports that HR managers can use for decision-making. Pilot tests have shown cases where candidates who were highly rated by traditional methods were re-evaluated, suggesting the potential to visualize capabilities that credential-based evaluations cannot capture.
