For example, this time we will set up a situation like this.

Too depressing situation...

The method of the stewardship is as follows

First, select "My own scenario" from "ELSA AI".

ELSA speak: How to set up your own situations

What do you want to do?" the ELSA AI will ask you, and you can answer by pressing the speaker button.

The method,

It is useful to prepare English sentences in advance to convey situations.

If it is long, it is difficult to type the English text.

It is faster to communicate by speaking.

It cannot be set in Japanese.
This is a disadvantage.

In this case, we told them about this setting!

The meeting was attended by five participants in the same project.


The five are leaders who lead teams in different roles within the project.


I lead the design team.


At this meeting, we will first briefly introduce ourselves and report on the team's progress.
