AI Storm Aims for the Future with AI Agent Service "ISEAI"

AI Storm Inc. (formerly Jexceed Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO Toshio Imai, Securities Code: 3719) announces the vision and outlook for its cloud-based AI agent service "ISEAI," launched in March 2026. Through this service, AI Storm aims to further strengthen its revenue base in AI-related businesses and steadily and powerfully advance towards achieving the market capitalization of 50 billion yen set forth in its medium-term management plan. ◆ What is Happening in the AI Agent Market Now In 2026, the AI landscape has fundamentally changed.

The era of "AI that answers questions" is coming to an end. What follows is the era of "Working AI" – AI Agents – that autonomously execute tasks on behalf of humans. Symbolizing this wave is the open-source framework "OpenClaw." This project, released by individual developers, surpassed 240,000 cumulative Stars on GitHub within weeks and saw 2 million weekly visitors to its official website. NVIDIA announced an open-source stack utilizing OpenClaw at GTC 2026, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also highly praised the potential of AI agents embodied by OpenClaw.

This wave of change, which will transform the very business cost structure of companies, is now hitting the Japanese market. ◆ The Reason ISEAI Was Born Operating OpenClaw in-house requires building an OSS environment, configuring Docker, and preparing cloud infrastructure. This technical barrier hinders Japanese companies from utilizing AI agents. "We want to use it, but we can't operate it" – AI Storm has identified this gap as an opportunity for acceleration.

ISEAI is a managed service that combines the execution platform of OpenClaw, a global-scale cloud infrastructure, and Japanese language support, enabling the introduction of AI agents into business operations in as little as 10 minutes. Tasks previously done manually by humans, such as email organization, document creation, and image production, will be executed 24 hours autonomously by AI agents. Users simply send a message on Discord. Instructions can be given to the AI even from a smartphone while on the go. Using AI becomes an experience indistinguishable from everyday business communication.

For AI Storm, ISEAI holds strategic significance beyond just service provision. Our core business segments updated their all-time highs in both sales and operating income for the fiscal year ending December 2025, demonstrating a steady growth trajectory.

ISEAI is a move to make that growth even more robust. By combining the recurring SaaS revenue that steadily accumulates in proportion to the number of contracted customers with our existing project-based businesses, AI Storm's revenue base will evolve to become stronger and more stable. Furthermore, the connections built with companies through our consulting business can be directly leveraged as opportunities for ISEAI adoption.

◆ Where ISEAI is Heading This fiscal year is a phase of planting seeds. It will take some more time for the AI agent market to fully take off in Japan. AI Storm honestly acknowledges this reality but has determined that there is meaning in preparing at this time. The true potential of ISEAI lies beyond where these seeds grow.

As AI agents become widespread within companies, challenges will inevitably emerge. "Shadow AI" – a state where employees use AI agents individually, without the company's knowledge or management. This poses risks of information leakage, compliance issues, and impacts on decision-making processes. AI
