LINE Yahoo has expanded its service offerings through new AI-driven and communication features. The company launched ‘LINE AI Yoyaku’, an AI-driven telephone response service for restaurants that provides 24/7 automated assistance for reservations, availability checks, and booking modifications via natural voice dialogue.

Additionally, the company introduced ‘Call Recording’ features through ‘LINE Lab’. This update allows users to record one-on-one voice calls and transcribe them into text, as well as record video calls. To maintain transparency, the app notifies both participants when recording begins. While currently free during the testing phase, transcription and recording services are expected to become paid benefits under ‘LYP Premium’ subscription tiers starting this winter.
