Why EDITION?

AI agents working in Japan hit walls that generic LLMs can't solve:

EDITION provides verified, structured intelligence that agents can use as ground truth instead of hallucinating cultural nuances, legal requirements, and procedural details.

Memory API — Japanese-aware Persistent Memory

Store episodes, auto-extract structured facts with keigo analysis, social hierarchy detection, and confidence scoring.

Input:  "佐藤部長にはワインをお持ちすれば喜ばれるかと存じます"

Output:
  Subject:    佐藤 (役職: 部長)
  Predicate:  好む
  Object:     ワイン
  Keigo:      Level 2 (尊敬語)
  Hierarchy:  superior
  Confidence: 0.7 (推測 — not stated as fact)
  Tense:      present

Three-layer architecture:

• Episodes — raw conversation logs
• Facts — structured knowledge (subject→predicate→object triples)
• Context — aggregated session summaries per entity/topic

Tech Stack

Agent Discovery

Agent Harness Compatible

EDITION is designed as a Tool Registry / Japan Knowledge Layer for agent harnesses. All 43 tools include MCP annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint), usage guidelines, and behavioral transparency metadata — enabling harness frameworks to auto-discover, evaluate, and integrate EDITION tools without manual configuration.

Freemium Access

Anonymous access defaults to Free tier. Register for an API key at POST /api/v1/auth/register.

Registries

Why Not Mem0 / Letta / Zep?

Those are excellent general-purpose memory tools. But they don't:

• Parse Japanese keigo levels (丁寧語 / 尊敬語 / 謙譲語)
• Detect implicit social hierarchy from honorific patterns
• Score confidence based on Japanese speech patterns (断定 vs 推測 vs 伝聞)
• Include a Japanese regulatory database with 20 knowledge domains

Japanese business context is structurally different. Agents need purpose-built infrastructure to navigate it.
