Your everyday chats
become jobs.

LINE, email or SMS - just send it. Purchase orders, drawings, site photos - AI reads them and builds a draft of the job, estimate, schedule and site checklist. The final call is always yours. A back-office app that small crews and trade businesses can actually use.

Everything in, everything out — one place
anken.ai

anken.ai in 60 seconds

A purchase order arrives by LINE, email or SMS, lands in the inbox, becomes a draft, then a job. No sound.

*Demo with fictional data. The app UI is shown in Japanese.

Why anken.ai

No.1

Easy to start

No heavy setup. Sign-up takes 3 minutes, and you can start without freee. You keep using the LINE and email you already use, so there is almost nothing to learn.

No.2

Easy to use

Your day-to-day messaging stays exactly as it is - no extra app to open. Phone on site, PC in the office. Big text and few buttons — nobody gets lost.

No.3

Fits your workflow

AI keeps learning your price lists, document quirks and client habits, so it fits your way of working better the more you use it. When the business changes, you just teach the AI.

No.4

Easy to keep using

You pay for the AI you actually use, so a quiet month costs less on its own. For companies that use it heavily, we plan to offer flat-rate plans with a set cap.

Features

Still re-typing estimates at the office after dark?

By the time you send the photo, the line items are drafted.

Send a purchase order or work sheet by LINE, email or SMS and AI reads item, quantity and unit price into a draft estimate. You just check it and hit approve.

Phone buzzing all day with "where's the key?" and "what time?"

Send one link to the job sheet. That's it.

Key location, plan and materials on one sheet — and each person sees only what they should: your team sees everything, subcontractors their part, the client just the progress.

Remembering unbilled jobs only at the end of the month?

Unbilled jobs line themselves up.

Finished-but-unbilled jobs collect automatically in billing. Batch them on closing day and issue freee invoices in one tap.

Subcontractor jobs still running on verbal promises?

Rate card × quantity = the offer price, automatically.

Register each partner's base rates once (e.g. wallpaper labor per m²) and both the offer and your margin are calculated for you. Copy the ready-made message, price included, straight into LINE or email.

Planning tomorrow's route entirely in your head?

Route order and toll costs, already worked out.

Pick your sites and get the fastest order, traffic forecast and toll costs. See "+34 min without highway" at a glance, then hand off to Google Maps.

Receipts scattered across the truck and your pockets?

Snap a photo — it lands in freee's file box.

Just photograph the receipt. One action links it to job costs, expense reimbursement and your tax records.

How it works

AI drafts. People decide.

N.1Never final on its own

Every AI suggestion stops as a yellow draft. The final call on your work never goes to AI.

N.2Anyone can approve any draft

The audit trail keeps both names — who approved, whose draft. No bottlenecks, clear accountability.

N.3Unapproved drafts never become jobs

Drafts you pass on are archived automatically over time. The original message stays in your inbox, so AI can read it again and re-draft whenever you need.

FAQ

Q.Will AI create jobs or invoices on its own?

A.Never. AI only goes as far as a draft — a person always presses the approve button. Drafts appear in yellow, and you choose: approve, fix & approve, or pass.

Q.Can I use it without freee?

A.Yes. Jobs, schedules, site lists and sheets all work without freee. You only need the freee connection to issue documents like estimates and invoices. Support for other accounting software is planned.

Q.Does it work on just a phone?

A.Yes. It runs in the browser, so iPhone, Android and PC all see the same data. Phone on site, PC in the office is the intended setup.

Q.Who owns my data? What happens if I quit?

A.It's yours. Each company's data is fully isolated and invisible to others. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the operator only accesses your data when operationally necessary (support, incident response). You can download jobs and estimates as CSV anytime, plus all your photos and PDFs in bulk — even after you leave. See the Terms of Service (Japanese).

Q.Can it be customized to our business?

A.Your rate cards, document quirks and client habits are learned by the AI over time. For deeper custom development, the developer OES Inc. takes on projects individually.

Q.Any perks for signing up early?

A.Yes. Early registrants keep a "founding member" price for good, even after full release — plus a free period of several months after the switch. Your feature requests also get priority.

Q.When can I use the beta?

A.We contact early registrants by email, in order, as soon as we're ready.
