Updateit Inc. has released the latest version (ver 3.0.3) of "crossnote," a documentation platform that enables efficient document creation and management by multiple users.
This update significantly enhances AI agent functions, AI review functions, and automated routine task functions, including support for Anthropic's "Claude." The reason crossnote is utilized in environments requiring strict security standards, such as major automobile manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies, is its ability to leverage the latest AI in on-premise and closed network environments without exposing highly confidential internal data externally. With these enhanced AI functions, crossnote will further powerfully support the "troublesome document operations" that occur daily in manufacturing and quality assurance sites, promoting both operational efficiency and quality improvement.
■ "Troublesome Confirmation Tasks" Plaguing Workplaces
In the operation of documents such as specifications, periodic reports, and manuals, personnel spend a significant amount of time on confirmation tasks.
-
Visually searching for and confirming changes in specifications spanning dozens of pages
-
Comparing multiple files to check for inconsistencies with past versions or related documents
-
Losing track of the latest version after multiple people edit, leading to missed corrections or regressions
-
Meticulously checking for variations in notation or violations of internal rules
crossnote supports these visually-reliant confirmation tasks with AI agents, reducing the burden on personnel and improving the quality of confirmations.
■ Utilizing AI While Protecting Confidential Data
Many companies feel uneasy about feeding confidential information, including specifications and reports, into general-purpose AI. crossnote supports configurations that allow secure use in customer-dedicated on-premise environments and closed network environments.
This update newly adds support for Anthropic's "Claude." Claude is a powerful AI alongside ChatGPT and Gemini, attracting attention as one of the most rapidly growing AIs today. By setting an API key, various AI tasks using Claude can be executed on crossnote.
Furthermore, crossnote supports ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, local LLMs, and also "Sakura AI Engine" from Sakura Internet Inc., making it possible to utilize open-source models in a closed network configuration.
■ Key Enhancements in the Update
The following functions have been added or enhanced in this update:
AI Support for Word, Excel, and PDF
Leveraging ChatGPT's Code Interpreter and Claude's Analysis tool, crossnote now supports revision assistance for Word documents and Excel files. Additionally, it supports AI review of PDF files, enabling reviews that consider information beyond just text.
Advanced AI Review Function
By operating AI review on an agent-based system, crossnote can read perspectives relevant to the review target from related files, enabling more flexible and practical reviews. It also supports reviews based on rules and guidelines, consistency checks, and suggestions for revisions.
Automation of Routine Tasks
Agent mode has been added to custom tasks. Registered AI tasks can be automatically executed at specific timings, such as upon saving, opening a file, or just before committing, thereby promoting the efficiency of daily repetitive confirmation tasks.
Improved Operability of AI Utilization
A Viewer that displays AI processing results clearly and an AI Console that centrally manages AI-related history are now available, further improving the operability of AI utilization.
