AI automation for the work everyone repeats

Repeated work such as Excel, email, and document tasks is handled by AI, and the results are written into the systems you already use. We take it from an on-site review through the build and the handover.

Past the demo, into daily work

Many AI projects stop at a demo or a trial. UMI Corporation delivers high-quality results that can be used in daily work right away.

  • Checked on real work data

    We confirm it works on your real work data and exception cases, not on demo samples.

  • Connected to your systems

    No opening a separate AI tool to copy and paste. The work is handled in the systems you already use.

  • A result that runs

    We do not stop at an assessment report or a proposal. We build automation that actually runs.

  • Code and operations document handed over

    The code and the operations document are handed over together so that your own staff can run it.

Frequently asked questions

Who does the work?

One engineer handles everything directly, from consultation to the build and the handover, and answers questions whenever they come up during the work. Contracts are signed in the name of UMI Corporation.

Does it cost anything?

The initial pilot is free. UMI Corporation may use the pilot result for promotion. External AI API, cloud, and SaaS charges are paid from your own accounts. Travel and lodging for a site visit are paid by you, by separate agreement.

Who owns what is built?

Code and operations documents built specifically for you are yours. Tools we already own, open source, and external services are used under permission or their own licenses.

How do you handle company materials and personal data?

We sign a confidentiality agreement before kickoff, and add a data processing clause when personal data is involved. Work is done inside your accounts and systems. At the end, materials are returned or destroyed under an agreed procedure.

Do you need to visit our site?

In the first week we visit your site for a meeting and to confirm what needs automating. After that the work proceeds without visits.

Can we stop partway?

Either side can stop at any time, and work completed up to that point is handed over. Operations support after the pilot is by separate agreement.

What kind of work fits the pilot?

We choose the work to automate together during the first-week on-site review. Examples are compiling figures in Excel, classifying email and drafting replies, and entering invoice fields. New apps and AI image or video production are outside the pilot.

Can we do this without developers in-house?

Yes. We visit in the first week to understand the work and then start; after that we work without visits. The result is handed over with an operations document so that your own staff can run it.
