Better Life Partner Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Yusuke Omori) has commenced offering "Subsidy AI Navi," an AI-powered service for searching and comparing subsidy information, aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises and small businesses.
Subsidy AI Navi is an AI search service available for 1,980 yen (tax included) per month, which allows users to check relevant subsidy candidates simply by entering their business details, desired equipment, or challenges they wish to solve in a chat format.
Our company is a certified management innovation support organization that has handled approximately 1,000 subsidy consultations annually. In the field of support, it is not uncommon to receive consultations that start with subsidies, such as "I want to invest if subsidies are available" or "I want to plan my business based on available subsidies."
This service does not involve creating subsidy application forms or supporting their adoption. By deliberately specializing in information gathering, we provide an environment where business owners can compare and consider schemes against their own investment decisions and business plans, without making subsidies their primary objective.

■ Development Background
As a certified management innovation support organization that has handled approximately 1,000 subsidy consultations annually, our company has repeatedly observed a challenge in the field: "business decisions driven by subsidies." There is no end to business owners who operate in the order of "I'll buy equipment because I can get this subsidy." Originally, business decisions should come first, and subsidies second.
The number of subsidies and grants provided by national and local governments is increasing year by year, and public offering information is dispersed across different schemes, making it difficult for SMEs to grasp the overall picture on their own. This state of "not knowing what is where" creates dependence on experts and fosters an environment where decisions are "subsidy-driven."
The root cause of this distortion is that "the hurdle of researching itself is too high." Subsidy AI Navi was developed to lower this hurdle and correctly position subsidies as one of the options for business decisions.
Representative Omori explains the background of the development in detail. ▼
■ Reason for specializing "only in information gathering"
Subsidy AI Navi is a service that deliberately does not have application support functions.
The reason for this lies in the structural challenges faced by the existing subsidy support industry. Many existing application support services have a predetermined range of subsidies they handle, making it difficult to propose the optimal customized solution according to the business owner's situation. This is because the sheer number of subsidies makes it uneconomical in terms of human cost.
As a result, business owners are often guided towards "subsidies that the company is good at." This is not due to malicious intent on the part of the support company, but rather arises from the physical limitations of covering all subsidies manually. AI, however, can handle all subsidy information impartially. There is no incentive to guide users towards specific subsidies. Creating an environment where business owners can choose subsidies based on their own judgment—that is the design philosophy of Subsidy AI Navi.
Recently, there has also been an increase in services that automatically generate subsidy application forms using AI. However, what determines the success or failure of an application is the judgment of which points to emphasize, what to write, and what to omit. Such judgment can only be made by humans who have read the public offering guidelines and experienced rejections or revisions. Before letting AI "write," it is essential to organize "what should be written." Subsidy AI Navi is a tool that supports the information gathering and comparative analysis necessary for that judgment.
■ Service Overview
Subsidy AI Navi is a service where users input their business details and challenges in a chat format, and AI presents subsidy information that matches their conditions.
Even without specialized knowledge, users can organize and confirm subsidy information simply by entering natural language.
It also supports voice input, allowing users to search for subsidies by speaking into their smartphone. It can be easily used while on the go or during spare moments.
Key features are as follows:
- AI chat-based subsidy search
- Presentation of subsidy information based on conditions
- Support for comparing and reviewing subsidy information
- Favorite registration function
▲ Example of inputting "Search for subsidies available to the restaurant industry." Related subsidy candidates are organized and displayed.
■ Service Features
The concept of Subsidy AI Navi can be expressed in one phrase:
"Information gathering to AI. Judgment and action to you."
In this service, AI organizes and summarizes subsidy information to provide materials for judging:
"Which subsidies might be available?"
"Are they suitable for our company?"
Business decisions on whether to apply should be made by the business owner themselves, or with a trusted expert. This is not an area for AI to intrude.
■ Pricing
- General Member Plan: 1,980 yen (tax included) per month, no initial fee
■ Future Developments
Going forward, around June 2026, a notification function for the start of public offerings for registered favorite subsidies will be implemented.
