VATES

STANDOUT Inc. builds and operates VATES, embeddable B2B AI infrastructure. A company loads its own material — product pages, price lists, manuals, policies — and VATES answers visitors from that material rather than from the open internet. It runs as a widget added with one line of JavaScript, as a standalone chat page, or as an API. Deposit-based pricing, from USD 5.00.

VATES is embeddable B2B AI infrastructure built and operated by STANDOUT Inc. in Okayama, Japan. Developers integrate it through an API in the same role Stripe or Twilio occupies for payments and messaging, and it also runs out of the box as a self-serve widget or a chat page of its own.

The knowledge behind every answer is held as ordinary readable text and read afresh at the moment a question arrives — direct observation instead of an embedding and vector-search step. An edit takes effect the instant it is saved, and anyone on the team can open the knowledge base and see exactly what the assistant knows.

One knowledge base answers each visitor in the language they write in, with nothing stored in translation. The console and the documentation are provided in 23 languages.

Pricing is deposit-based. No subscription, no monthly minimum, no cancellation fee — a balance is topped up from USD 5.00 and only what is consumed is drawn down.
