AI Video Manual "TAGURU" Significantly Updates Automatic Creation Function & Releases Free-Word Procedure Video Search for Field Use

RUN.EDGE Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Jun Oguchi) has significantly updated the automatic manual creation function for its AI video manual service, "TAGURU." Concurrently, the company has released a "Free-Word Procedure Video Search Function for Field Use," enabling field users to search for necessary procedure videos using free words.

Furthermore, TAGURU will be exhibited at "Manufacturing World Tokyo 2026," to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from July 1 (Wed) to July 3 (Fri), 2026, where the latest updated features of TAGURU will be introduced.

Background of the Update

In manufacturing sites, with labor shortages and the aging of skilled workers, the accumulation and sharing of on-site know-how, such as work standardization, skill transfer, safety education, and technical transfer to foreign personnel, are becoming increasingly important. However, even when shooting work videos, manualization required significant effort due to issues like the absence of explanatory audio, poor recording environments, and the need for manual insertion of subtitles and manual cutting/trimming. Additionally, even with created manuals, there was a challenge that they could not be fully utilized for daily work or training if field users could not quickly find the necessary procedures.

With this update, TAGURU can now automatically analyze videos of normal work scenes and perform subtitle generation and page segmentation, even from videos shot as they are. This supports the creation of high-quality video manuals by AI, regardless of the on-site environment during creation.

Furthermore, a function has been added that allows field users to search for necessary procedure videos using free words. This enhances usability, transforming TAGURU not just into a tool for "creating" manuals, but into a video knowledge base that can be quickly found and utilized when needed on-site.

Key Update Details

1. Significant Update to Automatic Manual Creation Function (Beta Version) Previously, when creating manuals with TAGURU, AI created manuals by shooting videos while workers explained procedures.

With this update, manual creation is now possible from videos of normal work scenes, without needing to be conscious of shooting methods for explanatory audio. AI analyzes the video and automatically generates subtitles and segments pages, making it easier to create manuals from videos shot on-site, with less susceptibility to recording environments or ambient noise.

This reduces the workload of manual subtitle addition and page segmentation, supporting a shorter lead time for manual creation.

Moreover, for videos with both image and audio, combining information from both is expected to yield more accurate generation results. TAGURU supports the creation of high-quality video manuals by AI, not only for videos with explanations of work procedures but also for videos without explanatory audio or videos where audio is difficult to hear due to factory noise.

2. Release of Free-Word Procedure Video Search Function for Field Use

A function has been released that allows field users to search for necessary procedure videos using free words.

Traditionally, utilizing video manuals on-site sometimes involved the effort of searching for the target manual or relevant procedure. With this new function, users can more easily find necessary procedure videos by entering terms such as work names, equipment names, procedures to check, or points to note.

For example, users can search using on-site terminology for procedures to check before starting work, processes to review during OJT, points to note for equipment operation, or procedures for handling troubles, and pinpoint access the relevant scenes in the video manuals.

This makes the created video manuals easier to find and use on-site, facilitating their utilization for pre-work checks, new employee training, skill transfer, work standardization, and daily reviews.

TAGURU aims to support education, sharing, and standardization in manufacturing sites, not just by creating manuals, but by serving as a video knowledge base that allows users to access necessary information when needed.

Other Updates

Support for Splitting and Merging Pages Generated by AI Assist

Pages generated by AI Assist can now be split and merged to be reconfigured. When splitting or merging, titles, procedures, and key points are regenerated by AI Assist. This allows for more efficient manual arrangement than manual re-editing, as the page structure can be adjusted after generation to match the granularity of work processes and on-site usability.

Support for Automatic Publication of Manuals Generated by AI Assist

Manuals created by AI Assist can now be published immediately after generation.

When "Automatic Publication" is selected, users can choose to publish the AI-assisted manual as a new manual or add it to an existing one.

For new creations, the manual is immediately published to users after AI processing is complete. When adding to an existing manual, it is appended to the end of the already created manual.

This facilitates quicker connections from video shooting to education and sharing in environments where speed from manual creation to publication is crucial.

Improved Design of Memo Input Field

Memo input fields on the left side of the screen can now be directly edited for procedures, key points, and tags.

While viewing the video, users can edit page content, allowing for more intuitive supplementation of work procedures, addition of points to note, and organization of tags. The clarity of the editing screen has also been improved, making it easier to operate even for first-time users.

"0.25x Speed" Added to Playback Speed During Editing

"0.25x Speed" has been added to the playback speed options during video editing.

This allows for even slower playback than the previous 0.5x speed, making it easier to edit with greater accuracy while observing detailed hand movements, tool usage, equipment operation, or inspection processes.

Support for Repeat Playback of Manuals

Repeat playback of manuals is now supported.

Previously, repeat playback was only supported on a page-by-page basis. With this update, the entire manual can be repeatedly played. This is useful for continuously playing manuals on-site, or for repeatedly showing the same manual during education, training, or exhibitions.
