  We are an AI venture founded in 2016 by a CEO and CTO from BCG. With the mission of "creating a new vision for all industries" and "connecting technology and business," the company uses machine learning technology to solve problems, jointly develop technologies, and support new businesses and company-wide DX promotion for core processes that are particularly unique and profitable in the business processes of client companies. We also provide support for new businesses and company-wide DX promotion. Specifically, we develop and provide tailor-made "custom AI" that solves issues that are difficult to solve with general-purpose or packaged products, armed with the two axes of "cutting-edge machine learning technology emanating from academia" and "understanding of business sites and the knowledge and know-how of AI implementation there. Our unique feature among many AI ventures is that we focus on "new business" and "research and development products for application to services" for our client companies. We work on many projects that create new value that does not currently exist and that are difficult to achieve with current efficiency and standardized solutions.
