Business Creation Firm dotD Officially Releases 'Mood-ar,' a Boss Emotion SaaS That Predicts Management's Mood in Real-Time

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is a dream of "dotD Inc."

dotD Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hisashi Onoda; hereinafter dotD), a business creation firm, is pleased to announce the official release today of 'Mood-ar,' a SaaS service that uses AI to analyze and notify the emotional state of management in real-time.

The Story Behind Mood-ar's Development

"Why didn't that project get approved?"

In the field of new business development, it is a common occurrence, both domestically and internationally, for proposals that have been thoroughly logically constructed to be rejected with a simple phrase like "something's off."

dotD's independent research revealed a surprising result (※dotD internal survey, n=1): the quality of the proposal content influenced the approval or rejection of a project by only 38%. The remaining 62% was determined by factors such as "timing of the proposal," "proposer's tone of voice," and "management's condition on that day."

dotD is directly tackling this "62% that cannot be explained by logic."

About Mood-ar

Mood-ar is a SaaS that predicts and scores the emotional state of management in real-time. It does this by having a proprietary AI cross-learn vital data (brain waves, heart rate, skin electrical resistance) acquired from wearable devices worn by management, along with a database of past rejected proposals accumulated within the company.

The analysis results are automatically notified via Slack, allowing members to grasp the "proposal possibility window" for the day in advance.

Notification Examples:

🟢【GOOD WINDOW】Currently, the CEO is in a "sauna-refreshed state," meaning even slightly unreasonable plans are entering the "that's interesting" phase. Now is your chance. Estimated time remaining: 17 minutes.

🔴【WARNING】Currently, there's a high chance of "something's off" due to excessive logic. Please propose emotion-driven plans or bring snacks.

🟡【NEUTRAL】The CEO is currently in a "please don't rush for an answer" phase. Interpret silence as affirmation and wait quietly.

Beta User Feedback

A product manager from a certain business company, who introduced the beta version for three months, commented as follows:

"I used to think 'reading the air' was an individual talent. Mood-ar has democratized it. Last month, a project I submitted during a 【GOOD WINDOW】 was approved on the first try for the first time in three years."

Furthermore, an unexpected comment was received from the representative of an adopting company:

"Visualizing my own mood has, conversely, increased my self-awareness. I realized I was in a pretty bad state yesterday."

Future Outlook

Mood-ar will continue to develop an external mode for use not only by management but also "before important business negotiations with clients." In the future, we aim to systematize Japan's business custom of "reading the air" with technology and are considering global expansion.

Representative Onoda commented on this announcement as follows:

"What is excitement? I believe that questioning this is dotD's raison d'être. We are serious about unraveling the black box of decision-making that transcends logic. By the way, my current Mood-ar score is 91 points. Anything goes."

※Today is April Fool's Day.

In reality, Mood-ar does not exist. However, dotD is genuinely committed to thinking deeply about why "something's off" occurs and continues to seek a balance between logic and excitement. If you thought, "I really want this for my company," please contact us. Let's create a business together.
