The business operates on a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, with recurring revenue making up 95.2% of total revenue in fiscal year 2025.

Read full description

AI inside's flagship product is the "DX Suite," an AI-powered optical character recognition (AI-OCR) service launched in November 2017. This platform is designed to convert various types of documents, including handwritten text, into digital data with high accuracy. The suite includes "Intelligent OCR" for standard forms, "Elastic Sorter" for sorting different document types, and "Multi Form" for non-standard formats. To address security concerns and offer on-site processing capabilities, the company also provides "AI inside Cube," an edge computing hardware solution. Complementing these are "AnyData," a multimodal AI integration platform, and "Heylix," an AI agent leveraging the company's proprietary generative AI.

The company has demonstrated significant growth and market presence, holding a top share in Japan's AI-OCR market. In fiscal year 2025, AI inside reported revenues of JPY 4.4 billion. A notable event in its history was in April 2021, when a major partner, NTT West, did not renew a significant portion of its license agreement, impacting revenues for the following fiscal year. Despite this, the company has continued to expand its services and partnerships, including a distributor agreement with Daiwabo Information System in November 2023. AI inside is also focused on future growth through the development of autonomous AI agents and its in-house Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities, aiming to expand its target market into the broader generative AI and software sectors.
