Delivering the "now" trending on X, researched by AI and presented clearly.

'shiritomo' is an information media platform that uses AI to research and organize related information based on trending topics on X (formerly Twitter), delivering it in a way that is easy for readers to understand and use later.

With the evolution of generative AI, SNS, and web services, new services and topics are born almost every day. Especially on X, a lot of information such as new AI tools, useful web services, SNS operation know-how, marketing case studies, and trending news is shared in real time.

On the other hand, the following challenges are also increasing:

- It is difficult to search later for interesting information seen on X.
- It is unclear what the trending services actually are.
- There are too many AI tools and web services to keep up with.
- It is unclear how to utilize ChatGPT, Claude, etc., for work.
- Gathering information on SNS and web services takes time.

'shiritomo' picks up such "interesting but easily lost information" and turns it into easy-to-understand articles through AI research and organization. Going beyond simply introducing trending topics, it aims to dispatch information that is easy to apply to practical work and daily life, incorporating a frontline perspective such as "what is attracting attention," "how it can be utilized," and "how it is useful for work and marketing."

■ Background of the launch

Due to the evolution of generative AI, SNS, and web services, a lot of new information is generated every day. Especially on X (formerly Twitter), new AI tools, useful web services, SNS operation knowledge, and trending news are shared in real time, increasing its importance as a place for information gathering.

On the other hand, the timeline on X flows quickly, and even if you find interesting information, there are many cases where it is difficult to find it again later. Furthermore, even for trending information, it can be difficult to immediately grasp what can actually be done, what the background is, and how it can be utilized in work or daily life.

Therefore, hashout Inc., starting from the challenges it felt in its own daily information gathering, launched the media 'shiritomo'. It collects trending themes on X, uses AI to research and organize related information, and publishes it as easy-to-understand articles.

In addition, 'shiritomo' is deployed on the hashout.jp domain, which hashout Inc. has operated as an SNS effect measurement service for about 9 years. The existing SNS analysis service has been migrated to 'Social Report', and hashout.jp has been reborn as the new information media 'shiritomo'.

■ Main topics

'shiritomo' will initially focus on the AI, SNS, and web service fields, covering information trending on X.

Main themes are as follows:

- Web services and useful tools trending on X
- Generative AI-related information such as ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini
- AI use cases and business efficiency know-how
- SNS operation and SNS marketing
- SNS-related information such as Instagram / TikTok / YouTube
- News and trends that attracted attention on X
- Tech information useful for work and daily life

In the future, it aims to become a media where readers can encounter "information they want to know now" by expanding its scope to information in various genres trending on X, not limited to generative AI and SNS.

■ Future outlook

In the future, we plan to continuously expand content, mainly focusing on AI-related news, web services that have become a hot topic on X, how to use generative AI such as ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini, AI x SNS utilization know-how, and SNS marketing information.

Ultimately, we aim to be a media where readers "do not miss interesting information and can understand it later" in an era of information overload, covering a variety of genres trending on X, not just limited to generative AI and SNS fields.

'shiritomo' will continue to deliver useful information to readers by not only introducing news but also clearly organizing the background of trending topics, how to use them, and how to incorporate them into practical work and daily life.
