Transforming the "Data Graveyard" into Your Personal Intellectual Asset

The "Data Graveyard" Problem – Is Your Storage Currently Sleeping?

Photos, documents, and notes accumulating on smartphones and PCs – many of them become a "data graveyard," never to be opened again after being saved. "Where did I save that photo?" "I have to search for that PDF I read last month again..." A new AI technology has emerged to fundamentally address these daily stresses.

Initial S Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kaede Yoshida) announces the official release of the Photo Smart Search function and Automatic File Knowledge Base Construction function in the AI application "KuraClaw," which is integrated into its home AI storage "MeCloud."

What is KuraClaw? – Your Personal AI Assistant Operating as MeCloud's Brain

KuraClaw is an AI application that runs on MeCloud. By simply interacting with it through familiar messaging apps like LINE, Slack, and Telegram, it organizes, searches, and intellectualizes your data. All data is stored within your home MeCloud device, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of AI while protecting your privacy.

This update officially releases three core functions of KuraClaw.

Function ①: Photo Smart Search – Entering an Era of Searching Photos by "Memory"

Traditional photo management relied on "metadata" such as folder names, shooting dates, and tags. KuraClaw analyzes the content of the photos themselves using AI, enabling natural language search.

"Find photos I took with my children at the beach last summer" > "Birthday party photos with everyone smiling" > "Photos of my child drinking milk"

By simply asking like this, KuraClaw detects the corresponding photos within seconds. Tens of thousands of photos can be instantly found as if recalling memories.

Supported formats: JPEG / PNG / HEIC / RAW and other major formats

Search methods: Natural language, subject, location, person, emotion, season, and multi-axis support

Function ②: Automatic File Knowledge Base Construction – Documents Transform into "Knowledge"

PDFs, Word documents, text files, and other documents accumulate daily. KuraClaw automatically analyzes and categorizes these files to build a **personal knowledge base**.

"Tell me the key points of last month's contract"

"Among the sales reports, which items show a year-on-year decrease?"

"From my saved medical records, tell me the results of my last check-up"

Once a knowledge base is built, KuraClaw responds accurately, much like a "secretary who has read all your data." Knowledge is automatically updated each time a new file is added, becoming smarter with every use.

Supported formats: PDF / Word / Excel / Text / Markdown, etc.

Automatic updates: Rebuilds index automatically when new files are added

Cross-file search: Integrates information across multiple files to provide answers

Function ③: Skill Community – Transforming KuraClaw into an "Expert" in Every Field

Further expanding KuraClaw's potential is the Skill community. A "Skill" is an extension that teaches KuraClaw specific expertise or workflows. Users can create their own custom Skills for KuraClaw, or install official Skills provided by Initial S, or excellent user-published Skills from the community with a single click.

"Install the legal consultation Skill to check contract risks" > "Automatically generate procurement suggestions from sales data using the restaurant industry Skill" > "Get a daily business English lesson from the English coach Skill every morning"

As Skills catering to various industries and professions – medical, legal, accounting, education, real estate, food and beverage – continue to gather in the community, KuraClaw will evolve into an "omnipotent group of experts."

Self-made Skills: Anyone can easily create them by describing procedures in natural language

Official Skills: Initial S will periodically provide officially certified Skills with guaranteed quality

Community Skills: Users worldwide can install Skills created and shared by the community
