LINE WORKS Targets Enterprise Messaging Gaps, Gaining Over 150 Taiwan Clients in 10 Months
AI productivity · Enterprise AI
LINE WORKS is expanding its enterprise collaboration platform in Taiwan to address data governance issues caused by using personal messaging apps for business. Featuring an interface similar to LINE, it offers administrative controls and API connectivity with personal LINE users, with over 150 enterprise adoptions reported.
Addressing challenges where enterprises rely on personal messaging apps for daily operations, LINE WORKS President Takeshi Shimaoka noted that scattered chat logs in personal devices hinder record-keeping and AI data integration. LINE WORKS provides a familiar user experience while offering administrative oversight and API-based interoperability with standard LINE users. Since entering Taiwan in December 2025, the platform reached over 150 enterprise clients by October 2026 across various sectors. The company plans to evolve the platform into a frontline mobile workstation, with AI capabilities such as AI OCR deployed in Japan, though exact launch dates for AI features in Taiwan remain unannounced.
