Iridge Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Kentaro Oda; Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth: 3917; hereinafter "Iridge") announced its decision to launch a team development support AI agent business utilizing generative AI through a newly established subsidiary.
Background and Challenges
With the rapid spread of AI-driven development, challenges related to security, quality, and AI usage costs are becoming apparent in the market. Current mainstream AI coding support tools primarily focus on improving individual productivity. As a result, they are unable to keep up with the security governance required for organized development, the standardization of review quality, and the increasing AI usage costs proportional to team growth. These factors hinder companies from fully implementing AI.
Iridge has leveraged its technological capabilities cultivated in app business and OMO*1 domains to create new value beyond the app domain, including providing DX services utilizing generative AI. While actively promoting the company-wide introduction of generative AI in its own development sites, Iridge has come to strongly recognize that the "walls in team development" accompanying the rapid spread of AI-driven development are a major obstacle to corporate growth. To solve these issues, Iridge is now offering solutions that maximize the overall development performance of an organization, not just individual support.
Overview of the New Business "Team Development Support AI Agent"
Iridge will launch a new business that solves these challenges by leveraging its cultivated know-how in team development using generative AI. It will provide a team development support AI agent to companies engaged in system development utilizing generative AI. This agent securely accumulates and utilizes company-specific knowledge, such as past incidents, internal coding standards, and security policies, in a securely isolated environment. This acts as a unique "AI guardrail" for the organization, enhancing the quality and efficiency of code reviews.
Through risk score determination and pre-merge quality gates at the PR (Pull Request) unit based on company-specific knowledge, visualization of productivity indicators such as development lead time and review man-hours, and support for creating hierarchical documentation from PR units to functional/service units, the service prevents dependence on specific individuals. It simultaneously promotes continuous accumulation of organizational knowledge and optimization of AI usage costs, thereby supporting the improvement of overall team development performance and quality management.

This business will be operated as a subsidiary of Iridge by making a third-party allocation of shares to a preparatory company scheduled to be established in May 2026.
