[Feature Expansion] Business Creation AI 'Lemonovation' Now Supports Excel and Markdown Output

Pacemakers Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Yohei Kariya) announced that starting May 22, 2026, it has begun offering Excel and Markdown output features in its AI tool 'Lemonovation', which automatically generates new business proposals in as little as 5 minutes based on a company's strengths, technologies, and assets. With this functional expansion, AI-generated business proposals can be deployed directly into internal business plan and approval formats, as well as knowledge management platforms like Notion and general generative AI. This evolves the AI tool to connect more deeply with the operational workflows of new business development staff and corporate planning departments.

■ Background of Feature Expansion
Since the beta version launched on May 1, 2026, we have had monitors from various industries using it, centered around personnel and promotion secretariats for new business development. Based on actual usage, it became clear that a certain amount of man-hours were required for secondary post-generation processes, such as 'reformatting the business proposal generated in a minimum of 5 minutes into the company's internal business plan format' and 'transferring brainstorming results to a knowledge base to refine with the team'. Lemonovation is a service that standardizes the new business development process using generative AI, implementing a system for companies to continuously create new businesses internally without relying on outsourcing or a few top-performing employees. It is not just about 'generating and finishing', but taking responsibility up to the point where it is 'utilized within the organization and connected to business decision-making'. This update advances that philosophy one step further.

■ Overview of This Update

[1] Excel Output Support - Accelerating Transfer to Approval and Business Plan Formats
Business proposals generated by Lemonovation (Business Model Canvas, Personas, PEST Analysis, Competitor/Substitute Analysis, Revenue Models/Cost Items/KPIs, Risk Hypotheses, Market Size, etc.) can now be output in an Excel format organized by item.
- Makes it easy to transfer and format into internal business plan and approval documents.
- Allows content to be examined, supplemented, and shared with the team item by item, streamlining the refinement process.
- Numerical items (KPIs, revenue models, market size) can also be used as a foundation for internal estimations.

[2] Markdown Output Support - Strengthening Integration with Knowledge Bases and Other AI Tools
All generated content can now be output in Markdown format.
- Can be directly inputted into knowledge management tools like Notion, Obsidian, Confluence, and internal wikis.
- Material input into general-purpose generative AI like ChatGPT and Claude is smooth, making it easy to combine with AI workflows.
- Accumulates business concepts as the 'organization's text assets' in a form that is easy to deploy horizontally and reuse.

Both features are available at no additional cost to all current beta monitor customers.

■ Once Again, the 3 Features of Lemonovation
Lemonovation is a business creation AI that comprehensively supports the process from business conception to proposal creation, starting from a company's strengths, technologies, and assets.

Feature 1: Even without new business experience, AI guides the order of thinking
It's okay to be in a state of 'I don't know where to start'. From extracting strengths and assets to building a business model, AI guides you through the steps in the correct order for business development. You can reach a structured business proposal without knowledge of frameworks.

Feature 2: No prompt design required, just input into a dedicated form
No skills to master generative AI are needed. By simply inputting your company's strengths and business domain according to a specially designed form, the AI generates the optimal output. Anyone in the company can produce high-resolution business ideas.

Feature 3: The more you use it, the more business development 'patterns' accumulate in the organization
The steps of Lemonovation are themselves 'patterns' of new business development. Every time you conceptualize a business with AI, framework thinking and hypothesis verification perspectives are naturally acquired. Business development personnel are cultivated while creating businesses. It is a practical OJT tool that advances practical work and training simultaneously.
