Research & ethics
Automation with clarity, control, and accountability.
AI is powerful and fallible. We design every product so people understand what it does, can correct it, and stay responsible for decisions that matter.
Where automation fits
Automate, assist, or keep it human.
Every step in a YukiOshi system is placed on this spectrum before anything is built.
Automate
- Copy new inquiries into one list
- Send an instant acknowledgement
- Schedule follow-up reminders
Assist
- Draft replies in your tone
- Summarise long threads
- Suggest the next step
Human
- Pricing exceptions & complaints
- Legal, financial and health topics
- Hiring and other people decisions
Human in the loop
High-impact messages, decisions and documents always pass a human review step.
Transparent behaviour
We explain what each system does, where its data comes from and where it can fail.
Privacy by design
We collect only what is needed and never train models on your data without clear permission.
Logged & reversible
Automated actions are logged, and every automation can be paused, edited or turned off.
AI safety & quality rules
What we commit to
- We never present AI output as guaranteed truth or as professional legal, medical or financial advice.
- People approve high-impact communication, financial, legal, health-related, hiring and safety decisions.
- Users can edit, review, pause, correct, export and delete relevant data and automation where feasible.
- Important automated actions are logged and auditable.
- We test for hallucinations, unsafe output, prompt injection, data leakage, bias and failure modes.
- We use confidence thresholds, fallbacks and escalation paths.
- We describe product limitations honestly.
We won't build
Ethical guardrails
- Tools for fraud, deception, impersonation, scams or exploitative manipulation
- Unlawful surveillance, harassment, discrimination or unauthorised data access
- Systems that make high-impact decisions about people without meaningful human oversight
- Products that mislead users about AI capabilities, automation levels, pricing, security or outcomes
