direct is a business chat from L is B Corp. for field and deskless workers, built to need little training. Staff at construction sites, stores and care facilities share photos, drawings, video and their location with the office.

Its patented guest mode, on every plan, admits subcontractors and other outside members as guests. Guests cannot see one another: each talks one-to-one with an assigned staff member, who reaches all of their guests.

The service is developed in Japan, runs on domestic cloud servers and holds ISO/IEC 27001 and 27017 certification. It is registered in NETIS, the New Technology Information System of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

Rentable bots, some free and some paid, include one for generative AI based on ChatGPT and others that create photo reports or record GPS-based attendance from the site.

A free translation bot translates chat messages into dozens of languages.

The free daab SDK lets companies write bots that connect to external cloud services and business systems.

Administrators can set up single sign-on, IP address restrictions, registered-device-only access and screenshot restrictions.

An enterprise edition for private cloud or on-premises deployment is available on inquiry.

The free plan has no time limit but caps users, storage and data retention, with one-to-one calls only. Paid plans have a fixed monthly fee per user-count band.

The iOS app’s App Store listing names English as a supported language.
