Main Functions

Automatic operation assistance by AI.
The robot learns repeated operation patterns and performs those operations for you.
Displays the remaining HP level at which you can work.
AI will visualize and display your remaining "HP level" based on your fatigue level, taking into account the amount of PC work you do, the amount of time you work, etc.
The acquired data remains within the company (on the PC).
Highly confidential data is not sent to the outside world. (No internet connection required)
You can use the PC safely even when working on highly confidential business data.
Automatic collection of work data.
Time spent using an application: How long each application was used for.
Number of application inputs: How much data was input into each application.
Number of keyboard inputs: How often the keyboard was operated.
Number of mouse operations: How often the mouse was operated.
Inactive time: Time when the computer was not operated (e.g. when the user was away from the desk).
Data Analysis and Indication
The raw data collected is analyzed by RoboBuddy Assist and quantified into specific work indicators.
For example, total work time, time spent on specific tasks, time spent concentrating on work, etc. are calculated.
Visualization Dashboard
The analyzed data is displayed in an easy-to-understand dashboard format using graphs, charts, statistical data, etc.
This allows users to grasp the following information at a glance: Daily/weekly/monthly work time trends: How the amount of work changes over time.
Percentage of time used by application: Which applications are you spending the most time on?
Time spent on specific tasks: If you are integrating with the task management function, how much time you spent on each individual task.
Output to CSV file
The computer operation data collected daily can be output to a CSV(TSV) file.
This is useful for linking to other systems, trends in work patterns, points for improvement, and measures to improve efficiency.

As a partner robot for computer work

Main Points / Screen Introduction

Software born from the feedback of many people who are actually working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic
RoboBuddy Assist
Working on a computer is actually a solitary job.
It tends to unintentionally put a strain on the body and mind.
Concentrating on monotonous tasks, even in a short period of time, can lead to fatigue, an increase in mistakes, and a decline in the quality of work.
To reduce these risks and maintain performance, it is extremely important to "Visualize" workload numerically and accurately grasp it.

RoboBuddy Assist helps you with your unique tasks.

Employee Attendance Revolution with RoboBuddy Assist
RoboBuddy Assist solves the perennial dilemma of "employees don't want to be monitored, but supervisors need to be in control", a problem that is fundamentally solved by taking a bottom-up approach rather than the traditional top-down approach. The main difference is that we are trying to solve this problem from a bottom-up approach, rather than the traditional top-down approach.
RoboBuddy Assist solves the dilemma of "monitoring" and "management"
A major challenge facing traditional employee management software is that "management" is often perceived as "monitoring".
When employees feel that they are constantly monitored by their supervisors or the system, the following negative effects can occur.

[Increased Stress Fatigue]
The pressure of being constantly monitored can lead to mental stress, which in turn leads to fatigue and decreased productivity.

[Deterioration of trust]
Distrust arises between companies and employees, leading to lower engagement and motivation.

[Inhibiting Autonomy]
Employees lose the opportunity to make decisions and act independently, which hinders innovation and the improvement of problem-solving skills.

[Creativity is reduced]
In a monitored environment, employees are less willing to take risks and are less likely to come up with creative ideas.

However, supervisors and managers need to "manage" to achieve overall team goals, monitor work progress, optimize resource distribution, and ensure employee health and safety.

[Providing employees with "information sharing" and "self-management tools"]
RoboBuddy Assist uses AI to visualize the amount of PC work and fatigue as "HP levels" and provide this information to the employee.
This allows employees to objectively grasp their own situation and autonomously manage their work, such as by taking appropriate rest and reviewing task priorities.
This is not a role for "monitoring" but rather as a "tool to help with self-management."

[Providing "healthy insights" to superiors (not monitoring)]
Employees can manage themselves and share aggregate data and trends with their superiors as necessary. This allows superiors to understand the workload and health trends of the entire team without having to monitor the specific work content or private activities of each employee.
For example, if the HP level of a particular team is consistently low, the superior can decide that "the workload of this team may be too high, so we should review the distribution of work".
This is not "individual monitoring" but rather "insight to understand and support the healthy state of a team or organization."

[Building relationships based on trust]
RoboBuddy Assist encourages managers to see employees not as "objects to be managed," but as "partners" who share information with each other and work together to find better ways of working.
This relationship of trust is essential for long-term productivity and employee satisfaction.

[RoboBuddy Assist contributes to the reality of new ways of working]
This bottom-up approach is highly advanced in today's work environment and has resonated with people all over the world.

[Work style reform]
By allowing employees to autonomously manage their own health and productivity, they will feel more independent in their work and more motivated to work.

[The reality of health management]
Companies can grasp the health of their employees in numerical terms and take concrete measures to promote true health management.

[Sustainable organizations]
Contribute to creating a sustainable organization that prevents employee burnout and maintains high performance over the long term.

==> Empowering a New Era of Work <==
RoboBuddy Assist is a powerful solution that resolves the conflict between surveillance and management, fostering a new era of work where employees and managers 'Co-Creation' productive and healthy work styles.


AI (Machine Learning) assisted operation
The AI learns your operation patterns, predicts your next operation, and automatically executes it.

How to start automated operation with AI

[ 1 ] When UI Auto Switch is ON or OFF

SW On      or        SW Off
Move the mouse cursor over the displayed object and click the [Forward] button on the mouse's side button, and the robot will automatically perform the next anticipated operation on your behalf based on the operations it has learned.
    
When your robot is predicting its next action, the robot icon in the taskbar turns red.

[ 2 ] When the UI Auto switch is ON

SW On
After you finish an operation, if you don't move the mouse cursor for 3 seconds by default (You can change it later.),
the mouse cursor will move to the visible object that Robo predicts your next operation will be.
If the prediction is correct, the robot will start UI operating on your behalf.
The robot icon in the task tray remains red.

During automatic operation of the robot, if the operation predicted by the robot is different from the expected operation,
it can be canceled immediately by simply moving the mouse cursor or inputting some key.
After canceling, move the mouse cursor again to the display object you wish to manipulate and click the [Forward] button on the side of the mouse. The robot will then automatically perform the next expected operation on your behalf, using the operations it has learned.

After a human operation or a robot's AI operation (including canceling), you can CTRL + click on an empty area of ​​the desktop screen (background image) to teach the robot that there is no next operation to be performed.

The robotic operation assistance function has been designed to not get in the way of your regular computer work. Similarly, the user interface has been designed to not burden your work.

[Note]
Only mouse operations are learned.
Since learning key inputs rarely results in the same key inputs, this has been removed from the function.
The robot traces the tree hierarchy with the selected display object as the root, and predicts operations by selecting the display object that is the root with the highest number of operations.
Starting automatic operation by other operations
Move the mouse cursor to the display object you want to operate
   (1) [ESC key + left click]
   (2) Press a function key (The specified function key)
   (3) Press and hold the left mouse button for at least 3 seconds, then release the button.
You can also start automatic operation by either of these operations.
How to clear learning associated with a display object due to an operation mistake or error.
Operation mistakes are also learned. In this case, if you want to clear the learning associated with a display object, you can clear the learning by moving the mouse cursor to the display object you want to clear and pressing the function key (The specified function key).
Only when the learn is cleared will you be notified by a balloon message.
We recommend using the Edge browser. AI operation prediction will be slower on browsers other than Edge.

Reform work style by visualizing remaining HP level
RoboBuddy Assist visualizes fatigue levels during PC work.

The degree of fatigue caused by PC workload is visualized (quantified) and displayed in terms of HP level. This allows users to obje ctively grasp their own situation and autonomously manage their work, such as by taking appropriate breaks and reviewing work priorities.

Quantifies your remaining energy (HP: Human Power)



How are remaining energy HP levels quantified ?
Based on ergonomics, we have developed a unique algorithm based on past research and analysis of the relationship between PC operation and fatigue. Using the developed algorithm, the remaining HP level of PC work at the moment is displayed as a percentage based on PC usage time and Volume of PC operations.
Your HP level is your original value calculated from past UI operation data.

[Note]
If there is no past operation data, the HP level will be displayed as 100%.
The HP level requires approximately 30 days or more for the AI to properly learn past operational data.
If there is little past operation data learned by the AI, it is likely to be 0%.
If there is no past operation data, the [Archive View] and [Archive Report] screens will not be displayed.
It will be displayed the day after the app is launched.

Robo Icons will inform you of the workload, work hours, and schedule with balloon messages.
 When you click on the robot icon on the title bar of the Home screen,
 the robot icon will pop up on the desktop screen and start working.




The robot icon moves around on the desktop without interfering with your work and notifies you with a balloon message.




You can also set a time and have the robot icon notify you when the specified time arrives.
Helps prevent overwork when telecommuting.

Time series of appropriate PC work hours
Time-series of operation volume to the entire PC.
Display of operation volume per application

Works offline
It can also be used for labor management for users who are offline or unable to connect to the company network.
Linkage with other systems and   AI Agent Robot Controller   AI Agent Robot Controller is also possible.

Power up other PCs and timer shutdown
You can connect to your office from home and send magic packets to other PCs to activate them.
As a countermeasure against forgetting to turn off the power, Windows can be terminated by a timer.
