Corporate News
uSonar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Chairman and Representative Director: Nami Fukutomi; hereinafter "uSonar") is pleased to announce the development and launch of its proprietary AI feature, "uNou."
uNou is a corporate support AI that aggregates and outputs information from uSonar's LBC (Japan's largest corporate database)* and data unique to each user company.
It is distinct from existing AI models that rely on internet searches as their primary information source.
Development Background and Features of uNou
uNou leverages corporate information from LBC, Japan's largest corporate database.
LBC is built entirely on reliable public information, including databases from trusted partners, verified news sources, individual corporate websites, and 4.6 million commercial and related real estate registrations.
uNou operates within a closed environment, ensuring no information is leaked externally. Within this secure data environment, user companies can leverage specific internal information such as "business card exchange data," "client information" (via SFA integration), and "sales activity data" (from mSonar's chat and calendar functions).
By utilizing uNou, companies can obtain high-precision customer insights and enhanced sales support.
mSonar: The First Implementation of uNou
As the first phase of its rollout, uNou has been implemented in the corporate information and business card management app, mSonar.
After searching in the "Company" tab of mSonar, clicking the "uNou" button in the top left generates an AI-driven corporate summary. Based on your company's unique characteristics and your relationship with the target, it provides detailed company information and suggests specific approaches.
Key Display Items
Comprehensive Overview, Recommended Actions, Transaction History, Cautionary Information (e.g., Anti-Social Forces), Corporate Trends, Growth and Financial Trends, Relevance to Your Services, and Relationship Status (Contact Person, Number of Interactions, Days Since Last Interaction)
Use Cases
Quickly checking information before business meetings helps streamline sales preparation and facilitates a more tailored approach to client needs.
Using uNou
uNou will be available free of charge starting in June, with a paid subscription model beginning on July 1st.
For details regarding usage conditions, please contact us via our website inquiry form or speak with your sales representative.
uNou was developed not merely as a convenient tool for individuals, but with the philosophy of building "corporate intelligence" by accumulating organizational knowledge—including daily proposals, inquiry responses, reasons for lost deals, and success stories.
We will continue to roll out this feature across our various services for our users.
