Kyocera Document Solutions will connect its multifunction office machines to Stella AI for Biz starting July 2026, automating the conversion of scanned paper documents into editable digital files.

What happened: Kyocera Document Solutions Japan and SUPERNOVA will launch a joint integration on July 1, 2026, allowing multifunction machines to process scanned paper and fax documents through Stella AI for Biz and convert them automatically to Word format. The service is available to users of Kyocera Cloud Capture and Kyocera Cloud Print and Scan. Future expansions will add translation and summarization features.

Why it matters: Kyocera aims to address the longstanding challenge of digitizing paper documents in office workflows. By embedding advanced generative AI into its existing multifunction machines—which the company already supports nationwide—it can help customers transition paper-heavy processes into data that can be readily used for business decisions. This positions the office machine itself as an entry point to AI adoption rather than a standalone document scanner.

What to watch: Kyocera's sales teams will begin proposing Stella AI for Biz directly to enterprises, offering support from initial deployment through sustained adoption. The company plans to roll out additional AI-powered actions (translation and summarization) after the July 2026 launch, and both firms aim to build a shared foundation for accelerating digital transformation across entire organizations.
