Verification notes

Shutdown: October 23, 2026 is an inferred observation proxy for the original ended-service notice, not a 2026 service cutoff or announcement. A directly read 2024 MEXT report already says both DIGEST and Pencil trials had ended; the actual cutoff day/hour/time zone and first closure notice remain unknown. The dated operator release and actual usage distinguish this complete public text/URL-to-summary app from the underlying model or an API. The continuing ELYZA LLM for JP demo offers similar functions under a separate named service; it is not a claim that all ELYZA technology or enterprise deployments ended. The icon is the verified operator mark, not an invented trial-app logo. Closure source

Launch: The operator’s August 26, 2021 release explicitly opens this no-registration app that day; it is distinct from the earlier underlying AI-engine research.
Location: Japan · Tokyo. The original operator-issued product release explicitly places ELYZA headquarters in Tokyo’s Bunkyo ward. This is a sourced operator-headquarters city fallback; the continuing corporate/LLM business is separate. GeoNames supplies a representative Tokyo city point rounded to two decimals, not a street address or ward centroid. Location source · Coordinate source
