Why

What is YAKUON

YAKUON is an AI meeting assistant that transcribes, translates, and summarizes spoken conversation in real time, and automates meeting minutes end to end.

It supports 5 languages, Japanese, English, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean, displaying the original text and translation side by side in real time. Even for meetings that don't need translation, it works as a tool for recording and tracking decisions.

It can be deployed on-premises or within your own environment, so meeting data never leaves your company. Built on a Generative AI platform.

Challenges

Does this meeting frustration sound familiar?

You can't keep up with native speaker pace in real time. Nuance gets lost, and communication takes longer than it should.
Every meeting eats up time on notes and summaries afterward. It's easy to lose track of who committed to what.
Leaving it to the cloud means handing sensitive meeting information to an outside party.

In active use in construction, manufacturing, and the bridal industry.

How it works

Just record. Translation and meeting minutes follow automatically.

The same experience whether in person or online (Teams / Meet).

01
Real-time translation
Transcribes meeting audio on the spot, displaying the original and the translation side by side. Communicate directly, without an interpreter.
02
AI meeting minutes and summaries
AI updates a running summary throughout the meeting, keeping progress visible. When it ends, you get full meeting minutes with a summary and decisions, plus the complete transcript log.
03
Viewer sharing
Records can be shared by QR code or URL, and no account is required to view them.

* Screens shown are illustrative displays using sample data. Viewer sharing is illustrated conceptually.

Results

More users, same cost.

User count (package-based)UnlimitedTypical SaaS tools charge per user, per month. YAKUON is a package deployed within your own environment, so cost doesn't scale with headcount. The more your whole company uses it, the lower the cost per person.

Case Studies

Use cases

Construction & Facilities Co. A | Real-time translation

In regular meetings between Vietnam-based staff and headquarters, no interpreter is needed for mutual understanding on the spot. The terminology dictionary keeps facilities-specific terms accurate.

Construction Co. B | Recording and tracking decisions

With many overseas vendors involved in a layered structure, decisions, owners, and deadlines are recorded in the minutes, making it possible to track who committed to what.

Bridal Co. C | Meeting minutes / sales support

In face-to-face consultations, even new staff get an automatic checklist of items to confirm. Also supports workflows that don't require translation.
