■ Background to the free offering
A closed beta test, which began inviting users on April 7, 2025, received many inquiries from companies, government agencies, politicians, influencers and many other people from many different standpoints. The number of responses surpassed our expectations very quickly. Many users said that, before making a post, they are afraid of possibly overlooking some words that may induce flaming even though the post would seem to entail no problem. Other users fear that they might leave a serious problem unaddressed due to a lack of time or labor, even though they understand the importance of checking for risks. In response to these common voices, the Company has recently decided to offer AI Enjo Checker free or charge so that it can be used by as many people as possible.
With posting to social media and the Internet having become a common practice, there is a growing risk of an offhanded comment deeply hurting someone or shaking an entire organization’s credibility. AI Enjo Checker is a tool to make the Internet space safer and more secure with the power of AI. Before a post is shown and spread on the Internet, it detects and points out risks of flaming or expressions that may lead to discrimination or prejudice. Through the free offering of AI Enjo Checker, we will help to create a society where many people can feel secure about posting to social media and the Internet, and to ensure a future where not hurting anyone is taken for granted in all kinds of communication.
Improvements will continue after the release of AI Enjo Checker and our development efforts will also continue so that we can ensure high accuracy in our replies. We want as many people as possible to try AI Enjo Checker and provide us with feedback.

■ What is AI Enjo Checker?
AI Enjo Checker is a tool that allows you check the risk of online criticism before you post something on a social media website or other Internet service. Using generative AI, the tool checks your post to see if there is the risk that it could be considered defamation or be controversial. A post is checked in terms of three different perspectives, including “aggressiveness,” “discrimination” and “misleading expressions” to see if it entails any risk. Moreover, the app seamlessly links with different social media outlets and text that has been found to be safe can be posted directly. Instead of restricting posts, this tool is mainly aimed at offering choices for posting in a better way and is designed with consideration of diverse values.

■ How to use AI Enjo Checker

■ Comment from Takayuki Fukatsu, CXO (Chief Experience Officer) of Bengo4.com

“Tech companies should work to build a system for preventing flaming on the Internet and social media. Bengo4.com has accumulated knowledge in legal domains and has built a strong network with lawyers. I hope the Company will be able to develop a comprehensive action for preventing flaming without solely relying on technical approaches. As a first step, AI Enjo Checker has been released and it was developed with the use of GenAI as a prototype-like attempt to protect posters from flaming. After its release, we will gather data and feedback from users and hopefully develop it into a comprehensive product that can prevent flaming more proactively.”
