Cariot's Innovations in Fleet Management
In an exclusive interview with ASCII.jp, Hironori Saito, the CEO of Cariot, elaborated on the cutting-edge features of the company’s fleet management system, 'Cariot.' This remarkable system promises not only efficiency but also a transformative approach to vehicle management through advanced AI capabilities.
Cariot officially launched a public beta of its AI vehicle management portal, 'Cariot Copilot,' in February 2026. This tool is designed to simplify vehicle management tasks, eliminating the need for specialized knowledge or technical skills, such as SQL. Users can interact with the portal as if they were conversing with a concierge; for instance, they can ask questions like, "When is the inspection for my vehicle next month?" or "Can you tell me which vehicles have recorded poor fuel efficiency lately?" The AI behind Cariot Copilot safely retrieves and consolidates data, presenting it in an understandable manner.
This interview focuses on how Cariot is pioneering AI utilization within the realm of fleet management. Saito emphasized that Cariot's goal is to enhance efficiency and optimize fleet operations while addressing the specific needs of users based on their feedback.
