KiAI launches Trst agent for manufacturers seeking overseas buyers
KiAI launched the full version of Trst on November 11, 2026, for small and midsize manufacturers pursuing overseas sales. The company says the agent identifies potential distributors, trading companies and buyers, sends tailored emails, follows up and reviews its work. Customers provide their website, products and target countries. Pricing starts at 100,000 yen per month before tax.
Trst applies autonomous agents to a specific sales workflow: finding prospects, contacting them and reporting progress. KiAI says its paid beta identified hundreds of prospects for some companies, compared with their own initial estimates of 10 to 20. It also reported a maximum reply rate of 5.3% and one case that progressed from a meeting between company presidents to a quotation. These are company-reported results from unnamed customers, not evidence of typical performance or completed sales.
For builders and investors, the distinction between prospect discovery and revenue is central to evaluating this product. The next useful evidence would be results across customers, including how many replies lead to qualified meetings and sales. KiAI is also deepening its partnership with IACE Travel, whose overseas network can help customers verify prospects and arrange visits. That combination links automated outreach with human assessment, but the release does not establish its conversion rate or financial impact.
