Discovering New Horizons with AIRO

In June 2026, Genech Communication, headquartered in Kyoto, officially launched AIRO—an innovative service that merges Optical Character Recognition (OCR) with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology. This dynamic tool is designed to transform dormant documents into active knowledge within organizations, making it easier for employees to access critical information.

What is AIRO?

AIRO serves as a powerful solution for converting various types of documents, including paper, PDFs, and handwritten notes, into searchable text through high-precision AI-OCR technology. The integration of RAG enables users to not only search company documents but also to receive AI-generated responses to their queries, simplifying data retrieval within the workplace. This feature empowers users to interact with their internal resources as if they were conversing with a knowledgeable colleague.

Unlike conventional AI implementations that may require specialized knowledge, AIRO is intentionally designed to ensure accessibility. It caters to a diverse array of users—from small businesses to government agencies and educational institutions—regardless of the documents' formats or the companies’ sizes.

Addressing the Adoption Gap in Japan's Business Landscape

As acknowledged in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications report titled Information and Communications White Paper for the Year 2025, there exists a significant disparity in AI adoption rates between large and small enterprises. Approximately 55.7% of large organizations actively employ generative AI technologies, compared to a stark 34.3% among SMEs. Notably, nearly half (47.6%) of SMEs lack a clear policy on AI utilization, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding strategic directions in AI application.

Furthermore, 30.1% of firms expressed concerns about their inability to identify effective utilization methods, indicating that the lack of understanding on how to leverage these technologies poses a major obstacle to widespread AI adoption.

Tackling Document Management Challenges

The issues of document management are prevalent in businesses across various sectors, where essential materials such as contracts, manuals, reports, and application forms are often stored as paper documents or PDFs. This can lead to inefficient information retrieval, wherein valuable time is wasted searching for data, and knowledge is frequently siloed among specific employees.

Addressing personnel shortages and demands for operational efficiency necessitates systems that leverage accumulated documents as organizational assets. Traditional storage methods exacerbate challenges in accessibility and usability, where information is often underutilized.
