Context & Analysis

Agent i first arrived in April as LINEヤフー's AI agent, reachable by calling it up from LINE or Yahoo! JAPAN. It was designed to answer everyday questions and to offer domain-specific agents for things like scheduling, recipes, work consultations and shopping assistance.

The new standalone apps change how people reach it rather than what it does. By adding widgets and task-linked notifications, LINEヤフー is aiming for a smoother user interface and experience, and it says the goal is to make Agent i easier to use. Logging in works with a LINE account or a Yahoo! JAPAN ID, and some functions remain usable without signing in.

The task feature keeps users posted on registered keywords — the latest information, product price drops, event announcements and similar updates — and notifies them when a task finishes. Alongside this, the agent roster has been broadening: on September 24 a fan-activity agent for following artists and characters was added, bringing the total to 40 areas including beta versions, with the selectable artists to be expanded going forward.
