DEFiDE Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tetsuya Yamamoto), an AI/DX consulting firm, announced that it has been granted Patent No. 7866289 for a 'program that enables generative AI to handle incoming calls in a two-way manner' within its RAG-based AI chatbot, 'chai+'. This patented technology enables 24/7 incoming call handling with a 70% first-response automation rate and 98% accuracy.

Background of Development: Call centers face structural contradictions: high turnover due to emotional labor, rising labor costs, and dissatisfaction with traditional IVR systems.

Core of the Patent: While traditional voice AI is 'Half Duplex,' this 'Full Duplex' technology allows AI and users to exchange audio simultaneously, mimicking natural human conversation. By integrating with a RAG engine, it provides accurate, evidence-based answers instantly. It also mitigates hallucinations by citing the source documents.

CEO Comment: 'Structural contradictions in call centers cannot be solved by superficial measures. This patented technology allows AI to handle calls just like a human operator, completing natural, two-way conversations.'
