Tencent Cloud and Vector Group’s Offshore Company Launch Japan’s First AI Avatar Video Generation Service “AvaMo”

Published

on

Collaboration aims to revolutionize video production of advertisements in Japan

TOKYO, May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, and Offshore Company, a subsidiary of PR firm Vector Group, which ranks sixth globally and first in Asia[1], today proudly announced the launch of “AvaMo,” Japan’s first AI-powered avatar video generation service specifically designed for the Japanese market[2]. Powered by Tencent Cloud’s advanced digital human creation technology, AvaMo enables the quick creation of professional-quality videos, dramatically reducing both production time and costs by up to 98%[3]—a true game changer for producing video advertisements.

“AvaMo” is an AI video generation service developed by Offshore Company with technology provided by Tencent Cloud. The name “AvaMo” combines the words “Avatar” and “Motion/Movie,” representing its ability to create high-quality videos featuring AI avatars with natural movements. The service is versatile, catering to a wide range of use cases, including advertising, customer support, and educational content.

Addressing the Needs of a Rapidly Growing Market

The global AI video generation market has been rapidly expanding, with projections estimating its value at $4.1 billion (approx. ¥582.2 billion) in 2024 and $62.8 billion (approx. ¥8.93 trillion) by 2034, growing at a compound annual rate of 31.38%[4]. However, in Japan, AI-generated video and voice technologies are still in their infancy, with most applications focused on text and image generation. Comprehensive commercial use of AI in video production remains limited.

While global services like “Synthesia” and “HeyGen” have gained traction, Japan lacks services optimized for the domestic market, particularly in terms of Japanese-language support, avatar designs tailored for Japanese audiences, and user-friendly interfaces. AvaMo fills this gap, offering a solution tailored for Japanese users—with Japanese avatars, voiceovers, and an intuitive UI—while also supporting multilingual and global business needs.

Revolutionizing Video Production with AvaMo

Conventional video production involves multiple steps: planning, scripting, storyboarding, filming, and editing—often taking weeks to months and incurring significant costs. AvaMo simplifies this process by integrating templates, AI avatars, and natural text-to-speech (TTS) technology, allowing users to create professional-quality videos with just a few clicks. Powered by Tencent Cloud’s AI-driven digital human creation technology and Offshore Company’s intuitive interface, AvaMo makes video production more accessible to enterprises in Japan.

Key Features of AvaMo:

UI/UX Design Optimized for Japanese MarketTemplates, audio, and avatar expressions are fine-tuned for Japanese users.AI voice technology reproduces authentic Japanese intonation.Avatar models reflect Japanese corporate culture and lifestyle nuances.Beginner-Friendly, Automated WorkflowAI handles scenario creation, casting, filming support, and audio recording.Simple, click-based interface allows users with no prior experience to create compelling videos.Realistic Digital Human (Avatar) GenerationAdvanced AI generates lifelike avatars with nuanced facial expressions, lip-sync, and gestures.Avatars are created from short video samples (1–3 minutes), ensuring high-fidelity and real-time responsiveness.Versatile Templates and Custom AvatarsWide range of templates for advertising, branding, product demos, manuals, and more.Supports vertical video formats for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.Over 120 avatar types available, with options for custom avatars[5] using personal face and voice data.Multilingual SupportTTS supports English, Chinese, Korean, and more than ten other languages, facilitating cross-border campaigns.Prevention of AI misuse and Privacy ProtectionStrict adherence to ethical and legal standards, including user consent and dual-layer content moderation (AI + human review).Proactive measures against misuse, including account suspension and reporting to authorities for serious violations.Industry-Leading SecurityOffshore Company is certified for ISMS (ISO27001), ensuring robust data privacy and information security for all clients.

Hanson Liu, Head of Tencent Cloud Japan, said, “We are excited to partner with Offshore Company in transforming Japan’s digital advertising industry. AvaMo leverages Tencent Cloud’s AI technology to simplify the creation of high-quality advertising content, enhancing customer engagement and optimizing marketing strategies for businesses.”

Kenta Noro, Representative Director of Offshore Company Co., Ltd. and CTO of Vector Group, said, “We are honored to launch this innovative AI video generation service for the Japanese market in collaboration with Tencent Cloud. There is a strong demand for intuitive, practical AI video tools tailored for Japan, and AvaMo delivers exactly that. By democratizing access to high-quality video production, we aim to empower more companies and individuals to harness the potential of AI, while leveraging the extensive PR and marketing expertise of Vector Group.”

LexisNexis Coplogic Solutions Introduces Field Clarity for LexisNexis® Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS) at IACP 2026

Published

on

By

A new, modern DORS and Field Clarity, the First AI-Guided Smartphone Video Assistant, Enhances Community Experience and Helps Improve Evidence, Case Building

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis® Coplogic™ Solutions today announced its modernized LexisNexis® Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS) community online reporting solution and the addition of DORS with Field Clarity, an AI-guided video assistant designed to improve field documentation accuracy and enable faster resolution by law enforcement agencies (LEAs). Field Clarity is designed to help community members submit reports to their local LEAs using DORS via intuitive step-by-step instructions. A hands-on experience for DORS with Field Clarity will be available for demonstration during the 2026 International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) annual conference.

“Agencies generally look to strategic partners like us not just for technology, but also for relief, reinforcement, and credibility across three tightly connected challenges: public expectation, workforce strain and digital evidence overload,” said Jason LaRue, associate vice president, LexisNexis Coplogic Solutions. “Our modernized LexisNexis Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS) helps agencies improve officer safety along with community member experiences. Field Clarity strengthens video evidence quality and digital evidence management to reduce friction and alleviate strain on a challenged workforce.”

Key Highlights
Integrated into LexisNexis® Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS), Field Clarity is the first AI-Guided video assistant for community member online reporting that:

Transforms data capture from passive intake into intelligent, guided capture to help create more positive officer and civilian mobile-first experiencesDrives more accurate field documentation, evidence and case building to help with faster resolution and enhanced public safetyBenefits civilians submitting reports with intuitive, step-by-step instructions, almost like having a digital assistant with them in real timeBenefits officers by bringing video, photos and scanned data together for a clearer picture of an event without the need to track down additional details

How the DORS with Field Clarity Solution Works
DORS allows each law enforcement agency to collect information directly from civilians on more than 200 incident types based on the needs of their community. DORS and Field Clarity make the filing of an online report experience easier by guiding users intuitively through each step of the process on their smartphone device, similar to having a personal digital assistant. Instead of asking a driver, for example, to fill out forms and guess what’s needed, the Field Clarity conversational interface prompts them to scan their driver’s license, capture a VIN or record a short walkaround video explaining what happened during the incident, all while capturing the data necessary to complete the report.

For civilians, being able to easily film on-scene evidence means less confusion and need for reentries or follow-up by the sworn officer responsible for approving reports. For officers, the benefits include cleaner, more complete accident reports and less time spent requesting and gathering additional details. With reports fed directly into the agency’s Record Management System (RMS), law enforcement also benefits from more efficient workflows and stronger documented cases for their investigators. DORS is used by nearly 600 agencies in North America, saving agencies approximately 900,000 personnel hours and $90 million annually*

“Trust in law enforcement is built one interaction at a time. Every opportunity for a community member to engage with their police department matters, including something as routine as filing a report,” said Sarah E. Connolly, co-founder of Guardian Communications, FBI-LEEDA instructor and retired Baltimore Police lieutenant and PIO. “When technology makes that process easier, improves the quality of information collected and supports a more responsive agency, it has the potential to do more than improve efficiency. It can help strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve.”

LexisNexis Coplogic Solutions delivers solutions and capabilities that can create a clearer line of sight from the field to law enforcement leadership, strengthening the connection between daily operations, workforce support, data management and community trust. DORS with Field Clarity is available through LexisNexis® Command Center, a single access point to the LexisNexis Coplogic Solutions data and analytics solutions suite, including LexisNexis®  BuyCrash®, LexisNexis® eCrash and LexisNexis® eCitation solutions. Coplogic Solutions also offers Unified Performance Dashboards for crash and citation mapping and illustrated visualizations, which connect field data with contextual insight in a single, coherent view – so law enforcement leaders can better understand and more confidently explain to their communities not just what is happening in near-real time, but also why.
