Starts from the 1st of the month. "DailyAI" is a service created to help customers utilize generated AI in their daily work to improve productivity.
The newly launched "My Data Utilization Plan" not only uses general generation AI that answers various questions with natural dialogue, but also allows you to use specific files such as Excel, Word, PDF, etc. You can give instructions such as analysis and summary. In the future, we will offer a new plan that uses natural language analysis technology to search not only the data you have, but also the large amount of internal documents stored in various cloud storages, and provide answers based on internal data. It's a schedule.
DailyAI will continue to expand its functions in various ways and contribute to improving the productivity of our customers as a generative AI service that has the functions necessary for every business scene.

■Background

With the advent of ChatGPT, the use of generative AI in people's lives and business is rapidly expanding. The global generative AI market size is expected to expand to approximately 14 trillion yen by 2030, with a high CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 35.6% from 2022 to 2030. *1
At SBT, we started testing ChatGPT early on, and have been verifying the accuracy and convenience of generated AI answers through internal use and demonstrations with customers. We have also developed our own core technology to improve the response accuracy of generative AI, and have been promoting the use of generative AI by providing support for its introduction to customers. Now, by incorporating these core technologies and know-how into our services, we are launching a new service called "DailyAI" that allows you to easily use generated AI in a secure environment.

〇Secure generation AI service where input information is not used for learning
DailyAI is a generative AI service developed using Azure OpenAI Service, does not use input information for learning, and has strong security measures in place to protect customer data. User authentication using the Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) prepared by DailyAI and access source IP restrictions can be applied, so it is not only possible to use it securely, but also to perform configuration work at the time of installation on the customer side. You can get started quickly and easily. Furthermore, you can check the daily usage status in graphs from the administrator-only portal site, and download usage data (logs) such as user ID, date and time, and conversation content, which can be used for analysis and auditing.

〇Supports long sentences exceeding the character limit
It is possible to use more than the maximum number of tokens (text broken down into units called tokens) set by Azure OpenAI Service, and it is possible to exchange long questions and answers. It can also be used when using files such as huge questionnaires and papers.

〇Customers can manage their own costs
This is a service contracted to by each company, and the pay-as-you-go system is based on the number of tokens. Monthly usage limits for the number of tokens can be set for each company or user, allowing customers to manage costs according to their own budget. You can use our service with peace of mind and avoid unexpectedly high charges. In addition, it is equipped with functions to reduce token consumption, such as a "saving mode" that does not save past interaction history.
