AI inside Launches AI Agent “Heylix”

In Plan to Build a Marketplace for Business Transformation Through Generative AI

Tokyo, August 2, 2023 –  AI inside Inc., a provider of an AI platform, launches an AI agent, “Heylix,” which will be available in a closed beta version on an invitation-only basis from August 3. The user only needs to give instructions to “Heylix,” and “Heylix” autonomously supports the users’ tasks with multiple technologies such as generative AI, predictive AI, and image recognition AI. “Heylix” will contribute to realizing advanced DX as an AI agent in all companies and organizations.

Background

Japan has been in a prolonged economic slump known as the “lost 30 years,” which began in the 1990s after the bursting of the asset price bubble. The causes are believed to be a complex mixture of various factors, including a shortage of workers due to the decline in the working-age population and delays in responding to changes in the labor market and industrial structure. The Japanese government has been promoting a “Society in Which All 100 million People can be Active” and creating an environment where senior citizens and women can play a more active role in society, while companies have been promoting reforms in workstyles and DX. However, no drastic improvements have been made, and people have already begun to be aware of the “lost 40 years” to be.

The recent rise of generative AI and LLM presents an excellent opportunity to solve labor shortages, improve productivity, and enhance Japan’s global competitiveness. Even though generative AI and LLM are highly versatile and capable of supporting all kinds of human tasks, their essential business applications have not yet been fully realized. If we could accelerate and spread the business use of this innovative technology, it would significantly improve corporate sales and profits and put the Japanese economy back on a growth trajectory.

About AI agent “Heylix”

“Heylix” is an AI agent that provides general support for any business, regardless of industry or sector. All the user needs to do is give instructions to “Heylix,” which will generate “Buddies” that perform tasks multimodally and autonomously. With the assistance of “Buddies,” users will be able to realize advanced DX.

[Service outline]
– Launch date: August 3, 2023 (closed beta version)
– Billing system: Usage-based
– Price: 10 yen per 1,000 tokens
– Inquiries: https://form.run/@heylix (Japanese only)

[Main features]
1. UI/UX that anyone can easily use
The user must only upload data in the formats as they are, such as text, images, and numbers, and submit instructions in text. Based on the user’s instructions, the AI agent “Heylix” autonomously generates high-value-added multimodal AI by combining cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI, predictive AI, and image recognition AI.

2. Sharing “Buddies” with other users
The multimodal AI generated by the AI agent “Heylix” is called a “Buddy” because of its partner-like nature to support the user’s business, and the users who create and share their “Buddies” are called “Buddy architects.” The generated “Buddies” can be shared among users, creating a network effect; the more “Buddies” are made, the greater the benefit to the users.

3. Connectability with third-party systems
“Heylix” can call APIs of third-party systems in natural language, and any software with publicly available APIs can be used through the “Heylix” user interface. It is also possible to generate an even more advanced “Buddy” by combining the functionalities of such software with generative AI, predictive AI, and image recognition AI in the background. Furthermore, the created “Buddies” can be embedded in third-party systems.

Future development

“Heylix” has already been provided to some existing customers, who have created more than 300 “Buddy” ideas. The closed beta version will be offered mainly to industries such as finance, insurance, manufacturing, distribution, and local municipalities; the official version is planned to be launched by the end of 2023 after adding functionalities such as enterprise search generation. A marketplace for sharing “Buddies” will be established after the official launch.

AI inside aims to create more than 1,000 “Buddy architects” and increase the number of AI created and used on the AI inside platform by more than ten times by the end of this fiscal year. To achieve this goal, we have already begun promoting the collaboration with users and ISV partners (independent software vendors) and have started a special course for training “Buddy architects” as a part of the generative AI and LLM reskilling program*1. With these efforts, AI inside will realize the full-fledged expansion of the generative AI business.
