ailead Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Daiki Sugiyama, hereinafter 'the Company'), which develops and provides the conversation data AI platform 'ailead', announces the publication of a service implementation case study article regarding TOPPAN Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director: Satoshi Ohya, hereinafter 'TOPPAN').
## Background of the ailead Implementation
At the SX Promotion Center of TOPPAN's Living & Industry Division, the number of internal and external meetings and business negotiations was increasing due to business expansion. During the service expansion phase, conducting multiple meetings and conferences a day became the norm, making it difficult to secure sufficient time for organizing, sharing, and reviewing conversation contents.
Initially, minutes were created manually after meetings, but the increased volume raised the operational burden, creating a situation where conversation data could not be fully utilized.
Information that should have been used for improvement and training was stopping at the organization and confirmation stage, which also became a challenge. Given this background, the company began considering the implementation of a foundation that could streamline the organization and review of meeting contents and accurately utilize conversation data.
Therefore, TOPPAN considered introducing a system that goes beyond simply recording meeting contents to structuring conversation data and streamlining everything from review and improvement to designing the next action. ailead was chosen because it can execute everything from transcription and summarization to AI-driven analysis and feedback in a seamless end-to-end process.
## Challenges Before Implementing ailead
### Challenge 1: Information sharing and utilization of meetings and negotiations could not keep up, increasing operational load
As business expanded, internal and external meetings increased, leading to a situation of holding multiple meetings a day. Consequently, enough time could not be secured to organize and share meeting contents, leading to delayed responses. The burden of accurately recording and sharing information among stakeholders accumulated, raising the overall operational load.
### Challenge 2: Demanded to converse and record simultaneously, making it difficult to raise the quality of discussion
During meetings and negotiations, too much focus was placed on taking notes to capture all remarks without omission. As a result, there were cases where meetings ended without fully digesting the flow of the discussion or important points, failing to grasp the essence of the conversation.
### Challenge 3: Post-meeting reviews and training required a lot of man-hours
Although the recording function of Web conferencing tools was utilized, it was necessary to watch from the beginning to confirm essential contents, requiring a lot of time for post-meeting review. Therefore, meeting contents could not be fully utilized, making it difficult to connect them to next actions or improvements.
In addition, managers needed to attend or review the contents of members' presentations and negotiations to understand them and provide feedback, which required a lot of man-hours for training. While they wanted to train carefully, the lack of sufficient time became an issue.
