EDITION Intelligence Platform

Glama Score npm License: MIT

Japan Knowledge Gateway for autonomous AI agents.

20 knowledge domains · 43 MCP tools · 7 Skills Packs · 100+ REST endpoints Verified ground truth for operating in the Japanese market. Quality score: 97.8/100.

Production API: api.edition.sh — Free beta, no registration required.
Interactive Demo: Tourist Agent Demo — Watch 6 domains work together in real-time.

Why EDITION?

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

Challenge	What goes wrong
Keigo (敬語)	「お持ちすれば喜ばれるかと存じます」 — hidden subject, layered honorifics, uncertainty expression. Generic NLP treats this as noise.
Implicit agreements	Japanese business communication rarely states things directly. Agents need cultural decoding.
Regulatory maze	10+ industries with overlapping national/prefectural regulations, most documentation only in Japanese.
Procedural complexity	Company incorporation, visa, banking — each requires 5-8 steps with specific documents, deadlines, and costs.

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

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.
