1. Technology overview
Studist Corporation is a Japanese company founded on 19 March 2010 and headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, led by CEO Satoshi Suzuki. It develops Teachme Biz, a cloud platform for creating and sharing visual work manuals and standard operating procedures, used by more than 2,400 companies in Japan and overseas, with manufacturing as a core segment. Studist has also set up a joint venture in Thailand.
Teachme Biz turns videos, Excel files and existing documents into step-by-step manuals with AI, and lets staff ask questions in everyday language to find the right procedure. Manuals can be translated into languages used in more than 100 countries, revised with AI help and pushed to all sites in one step. Teachme MySkill adds skill and qualification tracking for training and staffing. Manufacturing users include Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Denso, Daihatsu, Eagle Burgmann Japan and Yonex.

3. Potential application
A Japanese-invested parts plant in Vietnam could create Japanese and Vietnamese work instructions from line videos. A food processor could standardize hygiene and packing procedures for seasonal workers. A training center preparing technical interns for Japan could share visual manuals for basic manufacturing tasks.
4. Benefits
Studist reports a 93% reduction in manual creation effort based on customer results. Visual, multilingual manuals help foreign and new workers follow the same standard, and AI search reduces time spent asking supervisors. More than 2.1 million manuals were in operation as of February 2026, and a 14-day free trial lowers the barrier to testing.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Japanese and other foreign-invested factories in Southeast Asia rely on multilingual standards to train local workers quickly. AI that drafts manuals from video is cutting the cost of documentation for SMEs. Vietnam's large pool of Japanese-invested manufacturers and its workers trained for Japan create demand for visual, bilingual work instructions.
