Japan's METI drafts compute-sharing rules for domestic AI firms

The draft circulated to industry names the allocation mechanism for the first time, and ties access to processing commitments already filed with the ministry.

Three decisions, and all of them yours.

01

Your sources

The press you trust, the regulator, the official gazette, the bulletin only insiders read. Up to 100 sources, and we build the catalogue from the ones you name on the form.

02

Your judgement

Every other algorithm in your day was tuned to someone else's goal. This one reads each item against your work, in your words, and shows you how it scored — so you can disagree when it is wrong.

03

Your hour

One short email at the hour your trade asks for: six in the morning for those who start early, five in the afternoon for those who close the day. Everything else the bee read stays on the team's board, ranked.

Matching isn't reading.

41 matched this morning. Ten were worth your time.

Written by AI

Two capitals moved the same way inside a day. Brussels opened its own consultation the same week, so three of your four jurisdictions have text on the table at once. The dates to keep are December in Tokyo and 14 November in Brussels; Seoul's replacement decree has none yet.

Questions

How do I start?+

You fill in a five-minute form: who you are, what matters in your work in your own words, the themes that weigh and the delivery hour. Within 48 hours the first test edition arrives, together with what we did with each of your answers, and you correct what missed. The first real briefing usually lands inside a week — the time it takes the bee to read your sources once before you do.

Which sources does Briefbee read?+

Your favourites first — you name them on the onboarding call. On top of them, a catalogue of more than ten thousand Brazilian and international sources: press, regulators, official gazettes, trade-body bulletins and niche blogs. It reads in whatever language they publish and briefs you in yours, so a story that breaks in Seoul reaches you before anyone translates it.

How is it different from Google Alerts, or from a clippings service?+

Google Alerts matches strings and sends everything that matched. A clippings service sends the cutting without saying what it changes. Briefbee reads each article for meaning, clusters every outlet covering the same story into one entry, ranks what's left by consequence to you and writes why it matters — and improves when you correct it.

Who writes the briefing?+

The machine reads and writes, and shows its working: every story carries the source, the hour, a link to the original and the score the Editor gave it, with the reason. It isn't our opinion about the news, it's what the news says — and the original is one click away to check.

What does it cost?+

The price comes with the test edition. It depends on how many briefings, how many sources go into each and how many people receive them — and those three vary a great deal between a firm with one practice and a house with several. With the edition in hand we settle the shape and give you the number; there is no setup fee, and nothing is charged per seat.

Can I cancel?+

On the monthly plan, whenever you like: no lock-in and no penalty, and the briefing runs to the end of the month you paid for. On the yearly plan, the 20% discount is what you trade for staying the year.

What happens to my data?+

From the form we keep your name, work email, company and role, and the record that you agreed to it. We use them to set up the call and prepare the demonstration — never sold, never passed on. The sources and interests of your briefing are yours: they don't become a product for another client. The full notice says who touches this and for how long.

All the buzz, none of the noise.

Five minutes of form, and the first test edition arrives within 48 hours, built on your own work.
