Empowered by AWS JIC, eNeural redefines edge AI with dual solutions to accelerate global expansion
Empowered by the Startup Terrace Kaohsiung AWS Joint Innovation Center (JIC), eNeural is redefining the landscape of edge AI with two flagship innovations - AI-Craft, an automated AI development platform, and an edge AI self-learning solution. These breakthroughs aim to make AI truly self-learning and self-evolving, helping industries overcome long-standing barriers in deploying AI at the edge.As AI applications rapidly expand across industries, enterprises have realized that beyond computing power, the biggest barriers to AI implementation lie in the high cost and lengthy cycle of model training. For system integrators, success increasingly depends on the ability to integrate optimized AI models into lightweight edge devices to deliver reliable inference services in real time.A spin-off startup from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), eNeural combines strong academic research foundations with practical AI R&D experience. The company has already forged partnerships with major electronics manufacturers including Quanta, Compal, and Lite-On, and is collaborating with a North American e-commerce logistics fleet on developing an AI-based collision warning system.According to eNeural CEO Eric Huang, edge devices are typically designed to be small, lightweight, and energy-efficient, which makes AI model optimization particularly challenging. "Our AI-Craft platform provides a one-stop, modular, and standardized AI development workflow," said Huang. "It allows developers to automatically generate optimized models as efficiently as products rolling off an intelligent production line."Edge AI self-learning accelerates model optimization and reduces costsFounded in 2022, eNeural focuses on proprietary AI technology R&D, with AI-Craft serving as the backbone of its innovation. The platform integrates four key technology modules - automated annotation, model pruning, model quantization, and generative AI data augmentation - to make AI development faster, more scalable, and more energy-efficient.Using pre-trained AI models and advanced image analysis algorithms, AI-Craft boosts data labeling efficiency by 10 to 100 times, significantly shortening AI project launch time. Model pruning removes redundant parameters to enhance computational efficiency by up to 90% without compromising accuracy, while reducing the memory and processor load.Model quantization converts floating-point operations into 8-bit, 4-bit, or even 2-bit precision, dramatically lowering power consumption and enabling smooth deployment of AI models on compact edge devices. Meanwhile, generative AI data augmentation automatically creates training data for rare yet critical conditions - such as night, rain, snow, or backlight - improving AI model robustness and generalization.Traditionally, AI models deployed on edge devices must send large amounts of data back to the cloud for retraining - a process that consumes time and resources. eNeural's Edge AI Self-Learning technology allows models to learn and recalibrate autonomously in real time, reducing the need for cloud data transfer."For example," Huang explained, "when fleet vehicles operate under different weather, lighting, or road conditions, the AI model can automatically adjust its decision logic to maintain accuracy. With federated learning, training results are securely shared across thousands of vehicles." This innovation reduces retraining cycles from months to weeks and significantly lowers AI operation and maintenance costs.AWS JIC Accelerates cloud transformation and strategic collaborationSince joining the AWS JIC in 2025, eNeural has leveraged the expertise of AWS specialists to upgrade its AI-Craft platform using Amazon SageMaker, a fully managed machine learning (ML) service, and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) GPU computing power. This transformation has turned AI-Craft into a cloud-based development solution, enabling developers to perform automated annotation, model pruning, and quantization in the cloud. With dynamic AWS resource allocation, eNeural can efficiently run multiple AI projects in parallel with greater scalability and cost efficiency.Participation in the AWS JIC program has also opened doors for new business collaborations. Huang shared that while earlier partnership talks with Advantech did not progress, joining the AWS JIC program led to the successful signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two companies in 2025. Under this collaboration, eNeural will feature its two flagship AI solutions on Advantech's Marketplace, paving the way for deeper engagement with system integrators worldwide.Beyond Taiwan, eNeural is actively expanding into the U.S., Japan, and India. Leveraging AWS's global cloud infrastructure and innovation ecosystem, the company is pursuing a "software-driven core + hardware collaboration" strategy, collaborating with global players to unlock new opportunities in the rapidly growing edge AI market.

LegalSign.ai reshapes legal workflows with generative AI, completing the final piece of enterprise digital transformation
As businesses face dramatic changes in the global market environment, companies worldwide are accelerating their digital transformation efforts, seeking competitive advantages through innovative technologies. Yet, while many departments have embraced automation, legal teams often remain the slowest to digitalize. Manual contract review still dominates daily operations, with a single document taking one to two weeks to pass from sales to legal approval.Such delays not only disrupt decision-making but also affect overall business performance. Addressing this long-standing challenge, LegalSign.ai has launched an end-to-end generative AI legal workflow management platform that accelerates contract and document review with precision and transparency, fundamentally redefining corporate legal operations.According to Chih-Tung Chen, CEO of LegalSign.ai, lengthy manual reviews often force companies to ship products before contracts are finalized - taking on significant legal risk just to maintain business momentum. To tackle these inefficiencies, LegalSign.ai's cross-disciplinary team of legal and AI experts has created a one-stop generative AI legal workflow platform that resolves these long-ignored bottlenecks. The solution is already trusted by leading enterprises such as Acer, CTBC Bank, Cathay Financial Holdings, and ezTravel, proving its value across industries.Integrating legal expertise and generative AI to address three core challengesFounded in 2019 by experienced lawyers and patent attorneys with over 25 years of combined practice, LegalSign.ai operates across Taiwan, the United States, and China. The company's founding mission is to ensure that "legal work is no longer an island buried in paperwork." By combining deep legal expertise with generative AI, LegalSign.ai transforms legal operations into a streamlined, digital, and automated process, helping enterprises manage contracts and risks more efficiently and intelligently.LegalSign.ai's all-in-one platform addresses three major pain points for legal departments - workflow management, compliance auditing, and risk control. Through generative AI, the platform digitalizes the entire contract lifecycle, covering drafting, review, negotiation, signing, execution, archiving, retrieval, and risk management. This comprehensive approach enables enterprises to significantly improve productivity while cutting costs and mitigating legal exposure.Chen explained that the platform integrates three core capabilities: generative AI-powered compliance management, legal workflow lifecycle management, and electronic signature services. For instance, the AI assistant draws on a library of over 400 contract templates to generate legally sound drafts, minimizing hallucinations or logic errors. It can also translate and compare documents, automatically highlighting high-risk clauses to assist in compliance monitoring.Building trustworthy legal AI services on AWSFollowing its recognition with the AWS Generative AI Rising Star Award in 2024, LegalSign.ai joined the Startup Terrace Kaohsiung AWS Joint Innovation Center (JIC) program in 2025 to further expand its visibility and pursue new business collaborations. The company is implementing Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) to leverage cloud GPUs for enhanced AI computation and inference efficiency, aiming to deliver trusted, enterprise-grade legal AI cloud services globally through AWS cloud infrastructure.Chen emphasized that legal AI differs from typical generative AI applications due to its high data sensitivity and territorial restrictions. Given ongoing data security and regulatory concerns in China, Taiwan has emerged as a trusted hub for legal AI solutions serving international enterprises. Leveraging AWS's global cloud infrastructure, LegalSign.ai is executing a "Chinese-language legal AI + AWS Cloud" strategy to bring Taiwan's legal technology to the world. The company's initial overseas expansion targets Japan and the United States, with current collaboration focused on a bilingual legal AI platform serving multinational corporations.
