What it covers

AI and security, towards a future where anyone can use AI

The development and education work around generative AI, and the "AI × security" strength that comes from a CEO who is an AI engineer and a COO and CTO who are a security specialist and a white hat hacker. It also touches on the partnership with our affiliate Growth Link Inc.

From engineer to builder of AI

Game development as a student, what came out of maintaining and operating banking systems, and the path from an IT community to founding a company.

An organisation that backs each person's attempt

How the three of us on the executive team each play to our strengths, and the wish to keep an environment that backs individual attempts even as the company grows.

Creating new value through AI development and training people

The idea of safely connecting the knowledge and data held by people, AI and organisations so that anyone can use AI naturally — and the intent to contribute to Japan's AI industry through the three businesses of AI, security and education.
