The results

Where your changes land

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of finding and modifying data.

DATA UPDATES

Modified records

The AI applies your specific instructions to the correct fields. Your Kintone app stays updated without manual entry.

ACCURACY

Correct targets

The agent pulls existing data first to ensure it has the right context. This prevents it from changing the wrong rows.

CONTROL

Human oversight

The AI proposes the change based on your chat. You stay in the loop to confirm the update is what you intended.

EFFICIENCY

No manual searching

The AI finds the specific record you're talking about. You don't have to hunt for record IDs or specific rows.
