transcosmos Becomes One of the Initial “Clova Extensions Kit” Partners That Develop and Scale LINE “Clova” Skills
TOKYO (PRWEB) July 09, 2018 -- transcosmos inc. is delighted to announce that it has become one of the initial “Clova Extensions Kit” partners that can develop and scale skills (features) of “Clova”, an AI assistant offered by LINE Corporation (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; Chief Executive Officer: Takeshi Idezawa). The “Clova Extensions Kit” will be open to the public in July 2018.
LINE’s “Clova” enables users to enjoy a variety of features that include listening to music, checking news and weather reports, sending LINE messages and making LINE free calls to friends and family, by using voice control. LINE believes that in order to support users’ daily lives even more seamlessly, it is critical not only to enhance “Clova”s existing skills but also to scale and add more abilities to “Clova”. Therefore, LINE has announced that it will release its “Clova Extensions Kit” to the public in July 2018, which will enable third party companies and developers to develop skills for “Clova”.
Being one of the initial “Clova Extensions Kit” partners, transcosmos assists clients in making their services (data) compatible with “Clova” as well as deploying AI/bot-based chat services that support “Clova”.
- “Harapeco Bangohan! (“Hungry, let’s have dinner!”)”, transcosmos proprietary skill will be available on “Clova”
transcosmos will release its proprietary skill, “Harapeco Bangohan!” at the same time that “Clova Extensions Kit” becomes open to the public. Just by saying “Clova, open “Harapeco Bangohan!” and “give me some menu ideas for tonight ”, the service comes up with dinner menu suggestions from as many as 145 main dishes and 55 side dishes. With this new hands-free service, users can get dinner menu ideas - which isn’t as easy as you think - whilst taking care of household chores and their kids, without the use of a smartphone, a must-have item before.
Since the initial release of “LINE Business Connect”, transcosmos has been offering LINE-related services as LINE’s partner. With an abundant service lineup that satisfies clients’ needs, transcosmos claims an extensive record in serving LINE-related services in the customer support and marketing services domains. transcosmos is certified as a “Diamond” partner, the highest certification rank for “Sales Partner” in the “LINE Biz Account” category for the “LINE Biz-Solutions Partner Program”, a program by which LINE certifies and awards ad agents and service developers that sell and develop various enterprise services for LINE.
transcosmos continues to help clients across a broad range of industries to implement and operate LINE-related services, building on its proven implementation record and support experience in order to optimize communication between businesses and their customers.
