NGRAPH BRAIN — BUILDING THE COMPANY BRAIN

Don't keep the memory inside the AI.

Smart AI starts from zero every morning because its memory lives inside the AI. We turn your company's knowledge into a record AI can read — we build the Company Brain.

Online, anywhere in Japan Scaled to SME size and budget Not comfortable with AI? You are exactly who we help — no jargon

We enter the workplace and leave AI in a form that gets used.

NGraph provides FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer)-style support.

FDE-style support
Enter the workplaceOrganize the recordPut AI on siteStart with one taskKeep it as a pattern
  1. STEP 01 Enter the workplace

    See the work, the decisions, the exceptions, and the data in use

  2. STEP 02 Organize the record

    ABC sorting × Status sorting brings scattered information into the Company Brain

  3. STEP 03 Put AI on site

    Install Claude Code / Codex on work PCs and connect them to the record

  4. STEP 04 Start with one task

    Build the first use case, then refine it in use until it sticks

Decisions, procedures, lessons: back into the record, then on to the next task

The result isn't a delivered AI. It's a system used on site that stays with the company.

Beyond build-and-deliver. Toward a team that can fix it themselves.

Ordering an app and receiving it is one way. NGraph's way is the opposite on three points.

Before ── Order an app
NGraph ── Come inside and grow it together
01How it's built
Before Built for you, delivered, done

You hope it fits the work. Every time the work changes, it fits a little less

NGraph We come inside and grow it with you

Someone on the inside learns the work and owns the results. We build AI tools on top of the tools you already use

02What you get
Before An app: an asset that ages

It's newest the day it's delivered. From then on it ages, and its value falls

NGraph An asset that builds up and gets smarter

Procedures and rules kept in a form AI can read. The more it's used, the more employees refine it, and its value grows. Designs and data are yours too

03How it's fixed
Before Request, then wait

A change request goes from staff to vendor to developers and back: days to weeks. The smaller the fix, the further it slips

NGraph Employees × AI fix it on the spot

A procedure is one page of plain text. Employees fix it with AI on the spot, and from the next day every AI works the new way

At delivery1 year2 years
Record and procedures = value rises with use App = value falls over time
Example

Write how the work is done as one page of text (SKILL.md, a document that teaches the AI a procedure, in plain language), and let staff on site fix it as they go. From the day after a fix, every AI works the new way.


We don't deliver AI. We build an organization that can fix its own AI.

One Foundation. Projects, one at a time.

Work is done per Project. We set the scope, agree on a one-line definition of done, and build it to completion at a fixed price. Every Project sits on the same Foundation.

Time savedhires avoidedresults from reallocated time

Effects are written in only after we measure them. The record organized in the first Project makes the second one faster.

Measure on the first task, then extend the same Company Brain to the next.

Done is one line

Like "a new hire can complete onboarding over LINE": stated so that done or not can be judged in a single sentence.

Fixed price, capped duration

Only three sizes: small, medium, large. Added scope goes into the next Project. No itemized billing.

The second one is faster

The record built in the first Project becomes speed in the second. We don't lower the price; we return it as speed.

Fees are decided by the target task and the integration scope. We define the scope in a free consultation and present an estimate before any formal order.

Free AI readiness check (8 questions, about 1 minute)

Pick your industry and answer 8 questions. Your position on 5 axes, shown on the spot — no sign-up.

"I'm asking because I'm not an expert."

So we make three promises.

  • We explain without jargon
  • No documents to prepare. We start with a conversation
  • We build it, run it, and let you see it before you decide

Fees are decided by the target task and the integration scope.

We define the scope in a free consultation and present an estimate before any formal order.

Before the price, decide what will remain.

In the first meeting, we pick one target task and map out the entry point for AI and the records it needs, together.

Foundation = one per company

The Company Brain itself, plus maintenance and update rights. It grows thicker with every Project.

Project = one at a time

We set the scope, agree on a one-line definition of done, and build it to completion at a fixed price. Only three sizes: small (about 6 weeks), medium (about 3 months), large (about 4 months). Added scope goes into the next Project.

Free consultation first

The first decision is just one target task. "I only want a ballpark" is fine.

The effect can be estimated as "hours of work removed × labor cost".
For example, "30 minutes of re-entering data every day" is about 120 hours a year — at ¥2,000 an hour, about ¥240,000 worth of work a year.
Our thinking on cost and available subsidies is in this article (Japanese).

FAQ

Can we ask for help even if we are not tech-savvy?

Yes — that is exactly what this service is for. We explain without jargon, no documents needed, and work alongside your team on your actual tasks.

What is an FDE (forward-deployed engineer)?

An engineer who embeds within a client company and builds AI into each team's actual work on the spot. OpenAI, Microsoft, and AWS are all reported to be investing heavily in this model.

How much does it cost?

We do not publish amounts. Work is priced per unit: a Foundation (one per company) plus Projects, each at a fixed price with a capped duration — small (about 6 weeks), medium (about 3 months) or large (about 4 months). We define the scope in a free consultation and present an estimate before any formal order.

Can everything be done online?

Yes. Online-first is our default: we build live over screen share with your real data, from anywhere in Japan. On-site visits are also available.

What size and type of company is this for?

Mainly small and mid-sized companies, in any industry. You can start from a single department.

Do you have track record?

Our own AI products (including AI customer service for restaurants) run live in real restaurants in Fukui and Kanazawa, and we are currently embedded in the HQ of a 12-location restaurant group in Fukui, wiring AI between their existing ordering and accounting systems. We only publish outcome figures we have actually measured — no inflated percentages.

Do we need to buy a specific AI tool?

No. We use what you already have (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, etc.), or help you select the right one.

Do we need to replace our existing systems?

No. We design around the systems, Excel files, and chat tools you already use.

Can we switch to a different AI later (e.g. ChatGPT → Claude)?

Yes. We organize your business data, workflows, and prompts in a form that does not depend on any specific tool, so when a better AI appears you can swap it in. Not being locked into a single AI vendor is a core design principle for us.

What about confidentiality?

We can sign an NDA before starting. Data-handling scope is agreed during the assessment stage.

Does even one of these apply?

Think of the work inside your company and tick the items that apply.

  • The same explanations, checks, and decisions are repeated over and over
  • You want to move ahead with AI, but nobody in-house can drive it
  • Information is scattered across chat, email, Excel, and people's heads
  • There's work you'd like to hand to AI, but you don't know where to start
  • Answers and decisions change depending on who you ask
  • You want the company's judgment to last even when people or AIs change

If even one applies, talk to NGraph.

In the first meeting, we pick one target task and map out the entry point for AI and the records it needs, together.
