Livedoor Adds AI Article Generation to IRwith IR Support Service
The update moves IRwith's pitch from distribution to production, letting listed companies turn disclosure documents into investor-facing articles without adding design or writing staff.

Livedoor began offering an AI Article Generation feature in its IRwith service on Thursday, October 15, 2026. The feature drafts IR articles for investors from earnings documents and press releases, and accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, MD, and HTML files up to 30MB each, plus loading from URLs. A second feature, Image Editing, lets users build article visuals from templates in a browser. Drafts publish after IR staff review and edit.
The service is aimed at listed companies that already publish through IRwith and its link to the financial media MINKABU (Minkabu). Livedoor frames the addition around workload: writing explanatory articles and preparing images for each earnings announcement takes man-hours, and IR teams handle it with limited resources. The AI feature produces a first draft from official materials, which staff review and edit before publication. The image tool covers key visuals and thumbnails, so a company can assemble an article and its artwork without dedicated design software. Livedoor says the goal is more frequent dissemination to individual investors.
