MAKOTO Prime Announces 2025 Fiscal Year-End General Meeting: Accelerating Evolution as an 'AI-Native Company'

2025 Fiscal Year Review: Goal Achievement and Establishment of a Strong Business Foundation

In FY2025, it was a year where we expanded our support beyond just providing generative AI tools, offering more in-depth assistance such as building automation tailored to customer needs!

The core "Calq Series" continues to be widely utilized by many customers. Not only "CalqWorks" but also series products like "CalqChat" and "CalqPaper" have captured customer needs and steadily earned positive evaluations. Particularly, our specialized strategy for the insurance industry paid off, leading to significant growth and achievement of our business goals this fiscal year. The new service "Hoken no Kiroku" (Record of Insurance) has also started, and the foundation for future leaps is being laid.

In the back-office division, we embodied the stance of "attacking defense." By thoroughly leveraging AI-powered automation technology, we achieved business innovation that drastically reduced data entry work compared to the previous year.

FY2026 Theme: Further Accelerating Evolution as an "AI-Native Company"

The policy for FY2026 announced by Representative Takei was not merely to sell AI tools, but for us ourselves to become an ideal model for generative AI utilization. We will promote this around the following three pillars:

1. Accelerating Coexistence with AI Employees: We have utilized AI in various parts of our operations, but in FY2026, we will fully scale this up. We aim for a next-generation organizational form where autonomously operating AI employees are integrated as the organization's core "nervous system," and people and AI work together naturally.

2. Becoming a Trusted Advisor for Regional Companies: We emphasize a return to our roots, going beyond the framework of a SaaS vendor to empathize with the challenges of regional small and medium-sized enterprises. We will deepen our role as a partner that accompanies businesses through flexible support, not just by providing tools.

3. "Exciting Back Office" Enjoying the Process

Tedious tasks and failures are often associated with business improvement. We ourselves will enjoy the transformation process and embody an "exciting back office." The real know-how gained there will be returned as hints to regional companies promoting DX.

"The Second Transformation Period of AI"

Towards the end of the meeting, a message from Representative Takei:

"Now is the second transformation period of AI. We are at a major turning point in our era. Generative AI is not just a tool; it has the power to change the very nature of companies. We must become a role model that changes ourselves, changes our customers, and changes society! Let's all work together to create a better regional society!"

With these words in mind, MAKOTO Prime will continue to strive towards its mission of "Energizing SMEs with Generative AI, Energizing Regional Areas with Generative AI" in FY2026.

Please look forward to MAKOTO Prime's future challenges!
