Slow, manual work, made shorter with AI.
I'm Rio Shintani. I use "AI" (artificial intelligence) skills I learned in the United States to build software that helps with everyday manual work, like counting items on building drawings and writing documents.
Example: give AI a drawing, and it counts the outlets and lights in seconds. Press a colored item below to show only that type.
What is AI?
AI is a tool that reads, counts and organizes for you.
Take building drawings. Until now, a person looked at each one and counted every symbol by eye. With AI, the computer reads the drawing, counts the items and puts them in a table. The person only has to check the result.
- Add a drawing A PDF or image, as it is
- AI reads it Finds the symbols and counts them
- Get a table Ready for Excel and similar tools
- AI (artificial intelligence)
- Computer technology that reads text, drawings and images, and makes judgments the way a person would.
- Automation
- Handing work you do the same way every time over to a computer.
- Why the United States?
- Most of today's AI technology is built by American companies, and businesses there have started using it at work sooner than in Japan.
My approach
First, I'd like to hear about your work.
Only the people doing a job know what would really help. So I ask for about 15 minutes online to hear how your work goes and what slows it down. It isn't a sales call. If there's something I can help with, I'll build a tool for free.
What it does
Construction and electrical estimating
Counting items on drawings, checking prices and writing up quotes takes a long time, and it's easy to miss something. AI can help with that work.
-
Before
Look at each drawing, count the symbols, and type them into Excel by hand
-
With AI
Add the drawing, and the counts and table are made for you. You just check them
-
Documents and reports
Documents that follow the same format every time are made automatically, so you can spend the time on checking and decisions.
-
Finding company files
AI quickly finds the information you need in past quotes and specifications.
Services
-
Software made for your company
A tool built around how you work today, including the Excel files you already use.
-
Monthly software
A tool you pay for with a flat monthly fee (a subscription). It keeps the starting cost low, and it keeps improving based on your feedback.
-
Help using it
From showing you how it works to improving it based on your team's feedback, all in Japanese or English.
How it works
-
We talk
About 15 minutes online about how your work goes and what slows it down.
-
I build a trial tool
I build a tool for your problem for free, and you try it on real work.
-
You decide
Only if you find it useful do you decide whether to keep using it.
Profile
Rio Shintani新谷 璃生
Software developer
- Japanese, born in Seattle in the United States. Japanese is my native language
- Student at the University of Washington (Seattle, United States)
- Studied abroad at Waseda University's School of Political Science and Economics (Tokyo, Japan)
- Built a tool for a large manufacturer on my own. It saves 3+ hours per document and 200+ people use it every day
During my time in Japan, I noticed that AI, which is becoming normal at work in the United States, is still rarely used at work in Japan. Shinteq exists to close that gap and lighten the load for the people doing the work.
