Why Join Us?
■Overview
Equmenopolis, established in May 2022 as a spin-off from Waseda University's Conversational AI Media Research Group, is a university-launched startup planning and developing "EQU AI Platform." This cutting-edge conversational AI diagnostic platform enables ability assessment and growth support through natural dialogue.
The "EQU AI Platform," built on patented technology, creates a dialogue process that generates insights and changes beyond traditional Q&A evaluations. Our AI real-time captures emotions and intentions, context and appropriateness of responses, and provides optimal feedback and learning support to users.
The platform was officially introduced into Waseda University's regular English conversation classes in 2023. Furthermore, in March 2023, we were the sole East Asian finalist to present at "SXSW EDU Launch," an educational startup pitch competition at SXSW (South by Southwest), a world-renowned creative event, significantly boosting our global recognition.
As our services expand, we're looking for teammates to innovate the future of language education with us. Our team comprises members with diverse backgrounds, from multimodal dialogue systems, natural language processing, and second language acquisition to learning science, digital humans, quantum computing, and media art. Our team members also come from various countries, including Japan, the US, the UK, Spain, and Poland.
■Background of Recruitment Expansion
We're strengthening our organization and building a robust technical foundation to diversify our business:
1. Developing conversational AI agents for diagnostic evaluation and learning support as a PaaS, providing an application development environment that caters to diverse needs for conversational diagnostics
2. Advancing technology that integrates and utilizes multimodal data (voice, text, gaze, facial expressions, dialogue structure) to comprehensively evaluate and diagnose dialogue flow, appropriateness, and "interaction skills"—aspects that were challenging with conventional language evaluation systems
3. Generalizing the foundational technology cultivated with "LANGX Speaking" to expand into a broader language education market beyond English conversation learning, as well as specialized fields such as corporate training, customer support, and healthcare. Specifically, in the near future, we plan to develop self-learning Japanese applications tailored for specific industries for foreign learners
