The AI chatbot customer service (auto response) that JR Kyushu plans to implement on March 10 will be available from JR Kyushu customer support webpage (Japanese only: https://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/contact/ask.html).

In order to enable JR Kyushu to implement its customer support AI chatbot, transcosmos has analyzed existing customer inquiry data, prepared learning datasets, and built and tuned the AI model for the service. As a platform for automated response services, transcosmos has adopted “BEDORE Conversation,” a conversation engine by BEDORE Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; Representative Director: Yusuke Shimomura; Parent company: PKSHA Technology Inc.). The “BEDORE Conversation,” an “auto reply engine” equipped with sophisticated conversation capabilities, recognizes Japanese language that users enter on a website inquiry form, and automatically responds to their inquiries.
