Yesterday we opened early access to Ainvis — an AI executive team that joins your meetings and takes part in the decision.
https://ainvis.ai/

Five AI executives — COO, CMO, CFO, CTO and CXO — work alongside your team in Microsoft Teams. Ask a question in Teams chat and all five weigh in, each from its own discipline; for the bigger calls, they debate it out and explain their reasoning, then produce structured minutes and action items. In Meeting Mode they respond by voice — spoken, not typed. Voice Meeting Mode is available now on the web from the Growth plan upwards, with voice inside Microsoft Teams meetings coming soon.

Ainvis is built for teams that work across borders and languages. It is native in English, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) and Japanese — with voice, vocabulary and rhythm tuned to each language — so a team spread across Southeast Asia, India, Taiwan, Mainland China, Oceania, Europe or Latin America can each speak in their own language and be understood.

The fastest way to see it is to use it. Try the executive team free for 30 minutes at Ainvis.ai — no sign-up, no credit card, no Teams setup. Answer three quick questions and your executives introduce themselves in your business context. The free trial covers Chat Mode; to hear them respond by voice in Meeting Mode, you’ll need the Growth plan or above.

Founding customers who join early access lock their rate for life.

Your founding team's AI executive panel. Always in the room.

You can see a beautiful view of Mt Fuji from the walkway to the South Hall of Tokyo Big Sight.
When you come to Tokyo Digiconx, look back to the right and find the big Kuroneko Yamato sign on the warehouse – it shows a black mother cat carrying a black kitten.

Our partner curling team, Ignites Nagano, is competing in the Japan Championship starting today.

For the first time, this national championship is being held in the Tokyo area, and with all tickets sold out for the entire event, the 2,000-seat venue is set to be full of excitement. The Ignites team is looking forward to their matches, which begin today, 3rd February. We hope to see some great performances from them.

And keep an eye on their brand-new Foxglide jerseys, featuring XPAND Code on the back!

Unfortunately, this year’s official website does not support English, but you can still check the latest updates using translation tools.

We are exhibiting at a Tokyo Metropolitan Government-hosted exhibition in Hachioji, a major city in western Tokyo, today and tomorrow. Surprisingly, the turnout has been quite large. Since we usually participate in exhibitions held in central Tokyo, this is a rare opportunity for those nearby to visit us.

Today marks the start of the Label Forum in Tokyo, a specialised exhibition focused on innovative labels.
We are excited to showcase our latest sticker prototypes, which connect to smartphones via XPAND Code and NFC technology.

With just a scan of the XPAND Code or a tap of the NFC tag, visitors can experience augmented reality (AR).
Our AR feature is part of a collaboration with ffish.asia, introducing the "Wow 3D Museum", an interactive AR display of 3D digital biological specimens.

From 200 metres away, the XPAND Code can be scanned, and when you're close, simply tap the NFC tag to link your smartphone to the sticker.

The exhibition runs until 25th October, so if you're visiting Tokyo Big Sight, be sure to drop by Hall 3 of the West Wing in the Label Pavilion to see our product in action!
