An AI company needed Japanese-language specialists working on-site in Tokyo, embedded with its engineering team rather than delivering from a remote pool.
The goal was speed of iteration: model refinement moves faster when linguists and engineers can resolve questions in the same room.
The problem to solve
Remote workflows add a lag to every clarification, and model refinement depends on tight, repeated feedback between linguists and engineers.
Standing up 150 qualified Japanese-language specialists on-site, then narrowing to a steady production team, needed both reach and on-the-ground coordination.
How AI data services was delivered
MoniSa sourced and deployed 150 specialists on-site in Tokyo, then settled into a focused production team working directly with the engineering group.
On-site deployment
Specialists worked in Tokyo alongside the engineering team, not from a remote queue.
Scale then focus
A 150-person deployment narrowed to a steady production team as the work found its rhythm.
Direct collaboration
Linguists and engineers resolved questions in person, shortening the refinement loop.
What was delivered on this engagement?
150 specialists were deployed on-site in Tokyo, settling into a steady production team that worked directly with the engineering group on model refinement.
| Location | Tokyo, on-site |
|---|---|
| Specialists | 150 deployed, steady production team after ramp |
| Focus | Model refinement with direct engineering collaboration |
| Outcome | Faster iteration than a remote workflow |
What supported the result
Why this team fit the assignment
The engagement needed on-the-ground reach to source 150 specialists in one city, plus the coordination to run them on-site.
What decided the result
On-site placement is what shortened the feedback loop between linguists and engineers.
What buyers can reuse
- Some model-refinement work moves faster on-site than through any remote pipeline.
- Deploying at scale and then narrowing to a steady team kept the on-site program focused.
- The evidence keeps the client details confidential and attributes the metrics only to this engagement.

What changed in the work
Not the result — the decision taken mid-programme that the result depended on.
In the room with the engineers
Specialists worked in Tokyo alongside the engineering group rather than from a remote queue, so a question took a minute rather than a cycle.

Multimedia services50 songs transliterated and synchronized across 9 Indian languages.
Song transliteration and sync
The challenge. A global short-video platform needed song lyrics readable and singable for non-native-script audiences.
What we did. MoniSa transliterated each song for faithful sound mapping and synchronized the text to the music.
The result. 50 songs made followable across 9 Indian languages, line by line in time with the audio.

MENA market-entry localization
Problem. A packaged-foods brand needed labeling, marketing, and voiceover localized across three languages before a MENA launch.
Action. MoniSa ran labeling, brochures, marketing, and voiceover as one coordinated program against the launch window.
Result. 150,000 words and 40 hours of voiceover localized across Arabic, Kannada, and Malayalam for market entry.
Translation servicesAlmost 150,000 words of Arabic delivered in a 20-day batched sprint.
