MARUBUN CORPORATION has launched Kebbi Talk, a voice-interaction application for Kebbi (ケビー), an AI conversational robot developed by Friendly Tech. Features include configuring prompts, voice characteristics, conversation speed and reference data from an administration screen to enable natural dialogue.
MARUBUN CORPORATION announced the launch of Kebbi Talk, a voice-interaction app for Kebbi, an AI communication robot developed by Friendly Tech. The app is intended to reduce response waiting times, an issue with conventional robot interactions, and enable users to interrupt the robot while it is speaking.
Kebbi Talk is a conversational solution installed on the robot itself. Administrators can configure roles (prompts), voice characteristics, conversation speed and reference data (RAG) through a browser on a PC or tablet. This makes it easier to customize the system for specific on-site applications.
MARUBUN CORPORATION plans to expand the RAG character limit and reference materials, add conversation transcription and summarization, provide AI analysis support based on conversation records, and introduce notifications for signs requiring attention. It aims to provide AI robot solutions suited to care, education, customer service and other settings in Japan.
