Umee Technologies, an AI Startup Originating from the University of Electro-Communications, Partners with SB C&S for Nationwide Expansion

Overview of the Capital and Business Alliance

Umee Technologies Inc. has entered into a capital and business alliance with SB C&S Corp., a SoftBank Group company. Through this partnership, Umee Technologies will leverage SB C&S's extensive nationwide sales network—one of the largest in Japan—to scale up the deployment of its conversational insight AI solutions, "Front Agent®" and "Front Agent Log."

About Umee Technologies

Umee Technologies is an AI startup certified by the University of Electro-Communications. With the mission of realizing "an era dedicated to human conversation," the company has developed its proprietary "Deep Insight Engine™," a technology that analyzes psychological trends from human conversations. Focusing primarily on face-to-face B2C industries such as housing, real estate, and bridal services, as well as the manufacturing sector, the company provides solutions that transform sales conversations—which are often heavily reliant on individual skills—into valuable corporate assets.

Background and Future Outlook

Previously, expanding its implementation and support infrastructure nationwide presented a significant challenge for Umee Technologies. By partnering with SB C&S, the company will harness SB C&S's deep expertise in the ICT sector and its vast distribution network to strengthen on-site adoption support. Moving forward, both companies aim to accelerate business transformation and growth driven by AI, creating an environment where a greater number of businesses can utilize conversational data as their own proprietary asset.
