When we tried it out, the response time to entering answers was very fast and the content was as good as GPT4o's.

After the release of the beta version of Mia, several users who actually used it asked for a 'no talking mode' for the frequency of talking, so the implementation of this feature is described in this report. For reference, we looked at Alexa and found that mute (in this case, goodnight mode) was indeed displayed on the home screen with a toggle icon.

[PR] Summarized points on how to write a press release.

Press releases should consist of two or three paragraphs and be no longer than one page - a common mistake made in the early days of PR was the assumption that as much information as possible should be packed in. The main body should be written for the media, starting with the conclusion, using the "Conclusion, Beginning (Background), Ending (Main Theme), Turning (Development)" (=PREP method) structure.

[Mia] Mass generation of short videos with CapCut for SNS marketing.

In the case of this talking cat-shaped robot for the toC market, SNS marketing seems to be a better match than web marketing. Among these, it would be good to focus on 1) short videos → TikTok, Instagram, Youtube Short 2) illustrations of the character and interesting one-liner phrases → X/Insta.
