Ricoh Japan Launches 'RICOH AI Input Assistant Plugin' for RICOH kintone plus

Ricoh Japan Corp. announced the launch of the 'RICOH AI Input Assistant Plugin,' a paid plugin for the cloud-based business improvement platform 'RICOH kintone plus.' The plugin uses AI to automatically read data from PDFs and images, transcribing or summarizing it into records. Manual entry of unstructured data such as purchase orders, invoices, business cards, and meeting notes is time-consuming and prone to errors. This plugin requires no special configuration; users simply apply it to their existing applications. For example, in a customer management app, it automatically extracts company names and addresses from business card images, while in a daily report app, it generates reports from activity notes. The price is 1,000 yen per month (excluding tax, for 100 uses).
