Space Tree and Jurin AI Launch AI Workplace Concierge
Space Tree and Jurin AI announced a strategic partnership to launch AI Concierge, an AI-powered reception and phone agent for workplaces. Scheduled for June 2026, the service will be developed by Space Tree and powered by Jurin AI’s multi-agent technology to handle calls, reception tasks, visitor guidance and first-line inquiries across channels (phone, chat, email, LINE, Slack, Teams, etc.). The offering targets enterprises, virtual office users, coworking and rental office operators and aims to reduce reception workload, enable 24/7 multilingual responses, standardize communication quality, and lower operational costs. The companies will continue joint development, pilot validations and plan industry-specific deployments and integrations ahead of the launch.
A partnership launching a workplace-focused conversational AI product demonstrates practical automation of reception and front-desk operations, but it is a vendor-level product launch (not from a major platform) with limited immediate industry-wide impact.
