Visasq Launches AI Interview Function

Visasq Inc. (headquartered in Meguro-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "the Company"), which supports businesses from research to execution through its global network of over 800,000 experts across 190 countries, announces the launch of its new "AI Interview Function" (hereinafter "the Function") on Tuesday, July 21, 2026. This function leverages generative AI to conduct autonomous interviews for corporate clients.

As the first phase, the service will initially target overseas interview research. In conjunction with the launch, a limited-time special program offering free access to the Function will be available until the end of October 2026.

⬛ Overview of the New Function

The Function is a conversational interview tool powered by generative AI, available on "Visasq Interview," the Company’s one-hour expert interview research service.

Based on pre-set questions, the AI autonomously conducts interviews and automatically generates real-time follow-up questions (probing) in response to the interviewee’s answers.

⬛ Benefits and Use Cases

Within Visasq’s global network spanning 190 countries, this Function greatly expands the possibilities for overseas research.

With the initial launch focused on overseas interview research, the Function delivers both "high research quality" and "exceptional ease of use." It offers a new option for accessing global primary information more swiftly and seamlessly than ever before.

① Gain Deeper Insights with Real-Time Probing Questions

The Function deeply understands interviewee responses and autonomously generates follow-up questions. For example, if an interviewee states, "It's difficult to introduce due to local business practices," the AI instantly generates a natural, context-aware probing question such as, "Specifically, which business practices are creating barriers?" This enables the extraction of more realistic primary information that may not have been anticipated during the initial design phase.

② Automated Extraction of Key Statements, End-to-End Support from Analysis to Report Generation

Immediately after the interview concludes, the AI begins analyzing the results, automatically generating summaries and extracting key statements directly relevant to business decisions. It produces practical research reports in a fully integrated workflow, supporting rapid transition to the next business action.

③ Eliminate Language and Time Zone Barriers, Dramatically Enhancing Overseas Research Efficiency

By designing questions in Japanese, the AI automatically translates them into local languages and conducts interviews with experts across 190 countries without concern for time differences. Collected responses are instantly translated back into Japanese, enabling quick access to experts worldwide without the burden of time zone coordination or live attendance.

⬛ Real-World Cases: Success Stories of Visasq Interview in Overseas Research

Case ①: Market Entry Research into Overseas Markets (Major Trading Company)

＜Challenges and Background＞

When considering M&A, the company faced high consulting fees and lacked knowledge and connections in niche overseas sectors.

＜Implementation＞

The company directly interviewed experts in specific foreign companies and niche areas through Visasq. This approach significantly reduced research time compared to desktop research, enabling faster investment decision-making.

Case ②: Overseas Information Gathering for New Business Development in Japan (Major Electrical Equipment Manufacturer)

＜Challenges and Background＞

As part of an internal new business initiative, the company planned a new business leveraging cutting-edge digital content. With future global expansion in mind, it lacked detailed knowledge of advanced overseas cases and specific risks (e.g., rights management) essential for business model development in unfamiliar domains.

＜Implementation＞

Through Visasq, the company directly interviewed overseas professionals and industry experts involved in content utilization—individuals it could not otherwise reach. Within days, it matched with the right experts and rapidly absorbed real-world challenges and solutions, significantly enhancing the resolution and practicality of its business planning.

◼ Launching First with Overseas Interviews (Launch Commemoration Free Trial Program)

Given its overwhelming advantages in overseas research, the Function will initially launch with a focus on overseas interview research.

Additionally, as a trial period, the Function will be available free of charge until the end of October 2026. Corporate clients interested in rapidly acquiring primary information from overseas markets are encouraged to contact us. (※ The free access applies only to the system usage fee for the "AI Interview Function." Standard usage fees for "Visasq Interview" will still apply.)
