Studist has launched Teachme AI to automate multilingual work manual creation while reducing the required labor by over 80%. Recording a video while explaining the steps of a work process is all that the AI software needs to quickly draft a subtitled, step-by-step video manual.
After being fed a recorded video that explains how to complete a task, the AI automatically identifies each step in the process, divides the video accordingly, generates multilingual explanations and subtitles for each step, summarizes the entire task, and proofreads everything before final review. For text manuals, users simply type the summary along with keywords, and the AI automatically drafts a complete manual that explains every step in detail.
Business manual authors can quickly complete new training videos in about 15 minutes, far less time than the hours normally required when creating multilingual training videos manually. They should consider using compact cameras with good voice pickup and fast autofocus (like this one on Amazon).
Teachme AI is a new feature of Teachme Biz, a cloud-based, business manual sharing and creation system. Teachme AI is priced from 10,000 yen per month (~$64) for the Text Pro Plan and from 20,000 yen (~$127) for the Video Pro Plan. The Text Pro Plan drafts step-by-step written manuals while the Video Pro Plan drafts step-by-step, subtitled video manuals. Three monthly plans are offered for the required Teachme Biz plan – the Starter plan priced at 59,800 yen per month (~$380) on a 12-month contract, Basic at 119,800 yen (~$763), and Enterprise at 319,800 yen (~$2037).
The Starter plan allows 60 accounts to view video manuals up to 10,000 times per month with a maximum upload of 1,000 videos. The Basic plan increases the accounts to 180 and adds the ability to create training courses for different tasks and a content approval process for the training videos to ensure quality and accuracy. The Enterprise plan increases the accounts to 600, adds the ability to restrict access by IP addresses, and enables single sign-on using a Microsoft Azure, Google G Suite, or other SSO password. Additional upgrades and add-ons can be customized to the exact needs of each organization.
Teachme AI is compatible with most modern computers, tablets, and smartphones with an updated web browser. All data files are securely stored in accordance with ISO27001 and ISO27017 security management standards in Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud servers with redundant backups and 24/7/365 monitoring. Help and support are provided in English, Thai, and Japanese.

■Background of provisionIn Japan, where the population decline is accelerating,
the activities of foreign workers and spot workers are expanding, and workplaces are diversifying. In particular, the number of foreign workers reached a record high of 2.04 million as of October 2023. As the demand for easy-to-understand procedures is being conveyed to a diverse range of human resources, Studyist has repeatedly examined the use of AI to create and edit manuals. As a result, it became clear that the use of AI for manual creation and editing in "Teachme Biz" reduces creation man-hours by more than 80%, and this time it will be offered as a new function "Teachme AI".

■ Overview of "Teachme AI" In
"Teachme AI", the AI not only generates a draft of the manual, but also automatically divides the video of the work into steps, greatly reducing the time required for creation. Since generative AI that does not relearn data is selected, it can be used safely without worrying about the input data being used to retrain the AI model. It can also be used in conjunction with Teachme Biz's existing features to automatically translate manuals into 20 languages.
< function list>
Video Pro Plan
/ Video Manual Semi-Automatic Generation: Automatically splits the recorded video and generates a manual with subtitles and explanatory text (using Patent No. 7492092 technology)
・ Subtitle generation: Automatically transcribes the audio in the video and reflects it in the subtitles. - Step summary generation: Automatically generate titles and descriptions based on the contents of the registered video subtitles.
Text Pro Plan
Draft Generation: Enter the name of the work you want to create a manual and the desired conditions, and the AI will propose, proofread, and summarize a step-structured manual draft: proofread, summarize, and rewrite the title / description. Rewriting can be selected from multiple tones such as "colloquial" and "easy Japanese"
・ Start date: June 27, 2024
・ Price
Video Pro Plan: From 20,000 yen per month (excluding tax) Text Pro Plan: From 10,000 yen per month (excluding tax)
* A separate "Teachme Biz" contract is required. The amount varies depending on the number of accounts.
・ Supported apps: Web apps (Chrome, Edge, Safari)
・ Function details page: biz.teachme.jp/function/teachmeai/
■ Results of companies that used this function (version β) in advance
Multiple companies that used the function of Teachme AI to create manuals from videos were able to confirm the result of a reduction in man-hours of more than 80% compared to the conventional creation time.
By automating comments from companies using the β version, we were able to reduce the time required to set subtitles for videos. Even if there is music or noise in the video, the subtitles and descriptions are highly accurate. ・ We thought that we could not use AI to create a manual for our own operations, but by devising the instructions for generation, we created a draft of a high-quality manual that also included our own procedures. ・ If there is a semi-automatic generation function for video manuals, it is possible to create manuals that have not been started due to troublesome trimming and adding subtitles.
■ Future Prospects:
The Study aims to provide "Teachme AI" to 200 companies by the end of February 2025. In addition to supporting manual creation and editing, we are also considering adding functions to "Teachme AI" to make all manual-related tasks such as browsing and management easier with AI. We will continue to actively introduce the latest technology and contribute to the efficiency of business communication and education through manuals.
