Key Features and Problems Solved by the Alpha Version
Aitane completes CRM setup upon member registration. The alpha version released this time offers three core functions that automate the burdensome "data entry and actions before and after negotiations" in sales operations.
Business Card Scanning
Simply scan exchanged business cards, and AI automatically enters customer information into the CRM. Furthermore, AI autonomously handles tasks such as creating and sending thank-you emails after negotiations, and scheduling appointments from proposal emails.
AI-powered Pre-Sales Analysis
Before negotiations, AI analyzes the latest news about the target company and past interactions. This significantly reduces research time needed to make optimal proposals during initial meetings.
Automatic Transaction Management Updates
AI analyzes sales representatives' daily activities (emails, negotiation history, etc.) and recorded negotiation content to automatically update transaction management records.
Background of Development: The Era of AI Agents Replacing Administrative Tasks
Currently, many sales representatives can dedicate only about 25% of their working hours to "customer interaction," with the remaining time spent on administrative tasks such as digitizing business cards, entering data into CRM, and handling emails (※).
Junichiro Aida, CEO of Aitane, personally experienced the exhaustion of the field and the limits of management when implementing SFA/CRM in the past, noting that "data entry was cumbersome, neglecting core sales activities" and "systems became defunct due to lack of data entry."
This situation is a serious challenge not only for the field but also for management. It creates a vicious cycle where "systems become defunct, accurate data is not accumulated, making quick and accurate management decisions based on data difficult."
"How can sales representatives focus solely on 'the customer in front of them'?"
As an answer to this question, we developed the AI agent 'Aitane,' which replaces administrative tasks themselves as "AI's job" instead of humans entering data into systems. We aim to create a world where people can immerse themselves in the creative work they are meant to do.

Future Outlook: From Online to DX in "Real Face-to-Face Sales"
While this alpha version primarily targets online operations, our goal is "a world where AI accompanies every sales scene."
Regarding the challenge of how to deliver AI support in the field of "face-to-face sales," where many challenges remain, we are currently promoting "AI implementation optimized for on-site environments" through collaboration with wearable devices and other technologies. Please look forward to Aitane's future developments.
