My Dot is handling my house purchase in Kyoto, in a language I do not speak

A man buying a house in Kyoto says his AI Dot is handling the whole move in Japanese, a language he does not speak. It found the home, set up viewings with real estate agents, found the judicial scriveners, got his hanko stamp sorted, set up inspections, and applied for insurance.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

  1. Dot finds the home
  2. Sets up viewings with real estate agents
  3. Finds judicial scriveners
  4. Gets a hanko stamp sorted
  5. Sets up inspections
  6. Applies for insurance

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent is running a house purchase in another country and another language, down to the stamp and the scriveners, while the buyer cannot read any of it himself.
