TOKYO – February 22, 2024 – LY Corporation (Japanese name: LINEヤフー株式会社) today announced the launch of “LINE AI Assistant,” a messenger-based service for answering questions, analyzing information and offering advice. (Available in Japan only).
※ Available for the LINE app in Japan, versions 14.1.0 and above
Using APIs from Open AI and others, LINE AI Assistant is a monthly subscription service that allows users to add the AI as a LINE Official Account then interact with it, just like chatting with a friend. Users can ask the AI to research any subject, offer ideas for projects for work or school, translate or summarize images/files, analyze images, or help with cooking ideas and finding recipes.
LINE AI Assistant offers a free plan, where users can get up to five replies from the AI per day for free, and a paid plan, offering unlimited access to all features for JPY990 (about US$6.60) per month (tax included). The free plan is limited to text messages only and does not include translations/summaries of images/files or image analysis.
This launch comes after the introduction of LINE AI Q&A in Japan at the end of January, a service that allows users to ask questions to both generative AI and other users, utilizing OpenAI's API. LINE AI Q&A is a Q&A service co-created by AI and our users. Users can freely post questions by accessing a dedicated page from the home screen on the LINE app. AI responds to questions quickly at first, and then other users can also provide answers, allowing the questioner to consider a variety of opinions.
The introduction of these latest initiatives based on generative AI is the latest example of the LY Corp. mission: "Create an amazing life platform that brings WOW! to our users.” It’s all about delivering inspiring services that make people’s lives richer and more convenient through the internet.
