Tasks using AI (illustrative)

With an engineer embedded

AI-powered tasks keep growing

Built into the work one task at a time

CASE 01

Tools exist, nobody knows how

You signed up, but every team still works the old way.

CASE 02

Training never reached the work

Generic training never reaches your actual tasks.

CASE 03

No one inside can own it

IT alone can't cover every floor.

AI adoption worldwide is going "on-site".

The model US tech giants are investing in: engineers stationed inside client companies.

"I'm not an expert — that's why I'm asking."

So we make three promises.

  • We explain without jargon
  • No documents needed — start with a casual chat
  • We build it, run it, and let you see it before you decide

How pricing works

It depends on scope, duration, and complexity — we quote after a free consultation and assessment.

Sprint

A few focused weeks on one department, one task.

Embedded

Free consultation first

"Just want a ballpark?" That's fine.

ROI ≈ hours saved × labor cost.

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?

It depends on scope, duration, and integration complexity, so we quote after a free consultation and assessment — from a few-week sprint to months of embedded support.

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 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.

Free consultation

"I don't even know what to ask" is a fine place to start. We usually reply within 2–3 business days.
