vision
New ones are being created now and in the future.
No-code tools to create websites and e-commerce sites with just drag and drop, and digital marketing to better understand customer needs.
Chat tools that centralize communication with customers, including SNS, to improve efficiency and make it easier for them to become fans.
Numerous BtoC services that use AI to improve the convenience of everyday life.
As IT and AI evolve, more and more things can be done, but what is really necessary?
It may all be necessary for our purposes, or the answer may lie somewhere else.
Come on, there is no time to stand still.
Let's organize what we need to do and start with what we can do.
That's right. The future will surely change.

Greetings from the President

REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTOR AND CEO
Kazuo Noguchi
Kazuhiro Noguchi
Implementing user-friendly tools and sharing and utilizing the basic data they generate significantly contribute to a company’s growth.
We value the integration of IT and design, as well as taking action and visiting clients on-site.
Thanks to your support, our company has now entered its 13th year.
Since our founding, we have consistently championed the concept of “leveraging IT,” while also emphasizing the importance of combining this with a “design” perspective for organizational growth.
However, we believe that the most fundamental question—“What is business?”—lies at the very core of this.
It is no exaggeration to say that business is all about products and customer service.
In our industry, this might be replaced with the terms “service” and “customer success.”
There are wonderful, affordable IT tools available around the world that we would never know about if we stayed in Japan.
While it is true that there are language barriers and differences in business customs, changing our mindset, reviewing our business processes, and utilizing these tools will be a major key to supporting our future growth.
Technological advancements in the Web and e-commerce sectors—our primary focus—are accelerating rapidly, with the rise of “no-code” and “low-code” solutions being particularly striking.
We have entered an era where even non-engineers can launch various websites and services without writing code, while also achieving high-quality design outcomes.
Until now, the perception was that “IT meant Silicon Valley” and that “affordable, high-performance tools meant overseas products.”
However, in recent years, products originating in Asia—including Japan—have emerged that are aesthetically pleasing, user-friendly, and feature-rich.
Furthermore, the movement of “from Asia to the world” is gaining momentum.
[The Evolution of AI and New Possibilities: Toward an Era of Coding Agents and Common Platforms]
ここ数年で加速度的に発展したAIは、単なる効率化を超えて、自律的にタスクを実行する「AIエージェント」の時代に入りつつあります。 2025年までのPoC(概念実証)段階を経て、2026年は、AIが実際に「手を動かす」存在として業務に組み込まれた年だと言えます。
対話・推論型AIの最前線は、月単位で塗り替わっています。 OpenAI の GPT-5.5 に続き、Anthropic はこの6月、研究の最前線にあった最上位系列を初めて一般公開した Claude Fable 5 をリリースしました。Google も Gemini 3.5 世代とともに、汎用AIエージェント「Gemini Spark」や、現実世界を理解する世界モデルの構想を打ち出しています。 一方で、フランスの Mistral は仕事とコードを横断するエージェント「Vibe」を展開し、中国の DeepSeek も最新の DeepSeek V4 を投入。米・中・欧から有力なモデルが継続的に登場する構図は、いっそう鮮明になりました。
特に注目すべきは、「コーディングエージェント」の本格的な普及です。 Anthropic の Claude Code、OpenAI の Codex、Google の Antigravity、そして Cursor——主要各社のツールが出揃い、いずれも月20ドル前後から使える時代になりました。AIがコードの理解・編集・実行までを担い、複数のAIが並行して開発を進める使い方も現実のものになっています。 経営者や事業責任者自身が、AIと対話しながらWebサービスやデータベースを構築・運用できる時代が、本当に来ました。 私たち自身も、構想からプロトタイプ、本番運用までをAIとの協働で進めています。 これはエンジニアリングの価値が消えたということではなく、経営とテクノロジーの距離が劇的に縮まったということだと捉えています。
生成AIの表現領域でも、競争は激しく、進化はジャンルを越えて広がっています。
動画生成の領域では、OpenAI の Sora が一つの区切りを迎える一方、Google の Veo 3.1、中国・快手(Kuaishou)の Kling 3.0 が品質の最先端を競い、xAI の Grok Imagine も急浮上しています。いまや「映像と音声を同時に生成する」ことが新しい標準になりつつあり、映像生成は実務や制作フローの中で検討すべき対象になりました。
画像生成の領域では、OpenAI の GPT Image 2 と Google の Nano Banana 2 が最前線を競っています。文字やレイアウトの正確さなら GPT Image 2、写真のようなリアルさと生成の速さなら Nano Banana 2——と得意分野がはっきりしてきており、目的に応じて使い分ける時代になりました。Black Forest Labs の FLUX.2 などオープンなモデルも層を厚くし、企画、販促、クリエイティブ制作の現場でも活用の幅が急速に広がっています。
音楽生成の領域では、Suno の最新版が「自分の声で歌わせる」「自分の楽曲で自分だけのモデルを作る」といった個人化を実現し、ステム分解や編集まで担う本格的な制作環境へと進化しました。「テキストから音楽」は、コンテンツ制作のあり方そのものを変え始めています。
音声合成の領域でも、多言語対応や音声クローンに対応したモデルが次々と登場し、カスタマーサポートや多言語コミュニケーションなど、ビジネス現場での活用可能性が広がっています。
そして、私たちが今もっとも重視しているのは、こうした強力なAIを企業の実務に直結させるための「接続基盤」です。 AIは単体で使うだけでは価値が限定されます。 既存の業務システムやSaaS、社内データとつながって初めて、実務の中核に入り込むことができます。
その文脈で重要なのが、MCP(モデル・コンテキスト・プロトコル)です。 MCPは中立的な財団へ移管され、OpenAI・Google・Microsoft・AWSといった主要各社が揃って参画する、業界の共通基盤になりました。すでに企業の約4割がAIと業務システムの接続を本番運用に乗せ始めているという調査もあります。 AIは「便利なチャット」から、「業務システムにつながる実行基盤」へ——この変化を、私たちは単なる流行ではなく、企業活動の基盤そのものを塗り替える流れだと考えています。
さらに生命科学の領域では、AlphaFold の系譜を継ぐ創薬AIが難しい構造予測の精度を大きく塗り替え、AIが設計した新薬候補はいよいよ人への臨床試験という段階に近づいています。 AIの影響は、WebやEC、業務効率化にとどまらず、科学や医療を含む広い領域に及び始めています。
私たちは、こうした最先端を"観測"するにとどまらず、まず自社で試し、実務に落とし込む姿勢を貫きます。テクノロジーがどれほど進化しても、人と人が会い、現地の空気を感じる価値を大切にする、私たちのビジョンは変わりません。
グローバル企業でのキャリアを経て、旅先で妻と出会い、日本一周・カナダ居住・世界一周とさまざまな経験を積みました。
アートディレクターである溝口とも、世界一周中にメキシコで出会ったことが、現在のビジョンにつながっています。
公私における実践を大切に、世界との経験を活かし、
「楽しい世界」への架け橋となることで、明るい未来を創っていきます。
Use of technology for growth and what only people can do.
