Kyomei.ai operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence and data security, with a focused mission on safeguarding privacy in voice-based interactions. The Luxembourg-based company was co-founded by AI researchers Leminh Nguyen and Tatsu Matsushima, who met while completing their master's degrees in voice technology at the University of Groningen. Their combined expertise in speech recognition and machine learning forged the company's direction. Nguyen previously contributed to developing the first speech recognition model for the Luxembourgish language in a collaboration with the government, while Matsushima has experience in creating AI solutions to restore lost voices.
The firm is developing compact AI models engineered to function directly on a user's local device rather than the cloud. This on-device processing approach is central to its value proposition, as it filters and anonymizes personally identifiable information from audio data before any potential external transmission. By preventing sensitive voice data from ever reaching third-party servers, the technology mitigates the risks of data breaches and supports compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR. To train its models, Kyomei.ai utilizes open-source datasets and synthetic data, avoiding the need to process user data.
Initially targeting broad AI security, the company has sharpened its focus to serve the mental health sector. Its primary offering is an AI assistant specifically for psychotherapists, designed to handle the generation of session notes and reports while ensuring uncompromising data privacy for patients. This strategic pivot addresses a critical need for confidentiality in a highly sensitive field. The company is a graduate of Luxembourg's Fit 4 Start accelerator program and is part of the Luxembourg-City Incubator, receiving support and mentorship to advance its product and market penetration.
