◆ What is Happening in the AI Agent Market Now?

In 2026, the tide surrounding AI changed decisively.

The era of 'AI that answers questions' is coming to an end. What comes next 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 an individual developer, surpassed 240,000 cumulative stars on GitHub in just a few weeks, with 2 million weekly visitors to its official website. NVIDIA announced an open-source stack utilizing OpenClaw at GTC2026, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has also highly praised the potential of AI agents as embodied by OpenClaw.

The wave of change that will alter the very cost structure of corporate operations is now surging into the Japanese market.

◆ The Reason ISEAI Was Born

Running OpenClaw on one's own requires building an OSS environment, configuring Docker, and setting up cloud infrastructure. This technical barrier has hindered Japanese companies from utilizing AI agents. 'We want to use it, but we can't run it'—AI Storm saw this gap as an opportunity for acceleration.

ISEAI is a managed service that combines the OpenClaw execution engine, a world-class large-scale cloud infrastructure, and Japanese-language support, creating an environment where AI agents can be introduced into business operations in as little as 10 minutes. Tasks previously handled manually by humans—such as email sorting, document creation, and image production—are now executed autonomously by AI agents 24 hours a day. Personnel simply need to send a message via Discord. Even from a smartphone while on the go, they can issue instructions to the AI. The 'special task' of using AI becomes an experience no different from daily business communication.

For AI Storm, ISEAI holds strategic significance that goes beyond mere service provision. Our core business groups achieved record-high sales and operating profits for the fiscal year ending December 2025, and we are on a steady growth trajectory.

ISEAI is a move to make that growth even more robust. By multiplying the SaaS revenue that accumulates continuously in proportion to the number of contracted customers with our existing project-based business, AI Storm's revenue base will evolve to be stronger and more stable. Furthermore, we can directly utilize the corporate connections built through our consulting business as opportunities for introducing ISEAI.

◆ Where ISEAI is Headed

This fiscal year is a seeding phase. It will take a little more time for the AI agent market to fully take off in Japan. AI Storm accepts this reality honestly and has determined that there is significance in planting seeds during this period. The true potential of ISEAI lies beyond the growth of these seeds.

As AI agents spread within companies, a challenge will inevitably emerge: 'Shadow AI'—a state where employees use AI agents individually, and the company is unable to grasp or manage them. This leads to information leaks, compliance risks, and impacts on decision-making processes. The more widespread AI becomes, the more serious this problem will be.

AI Storm has a vision to eventually grow ISEAI into a platform that handles governance and security against this Shadow AI. We will take root in the market as an 'entry point' for using AI agents and develop into a 'foundation for management and control.' The more AI spreads, the more the value of the management foundation increases. It is a structure where market growth directly translates into service growth.

When the trust with companies built through consulting, the breadth of business domains cultivated through new ventures, and the SaaS revenue and governance foundation built with ISEAI overlap, AI Storm's corporate value will move to the next stage, and ISEAI will become an indispensable piece of that puzzle.

◆ Comment from Representative Director and President Toshio Imai

Transforming OpenClaw—which has over 240,000 developers worldwide enthusiastic about it—into a form that can be used in Japanese workplaces. When I became convinced that this was something we could do, I had no hesitation.

That conviction is directly linked to our revenue design. By multiplying a continuously accumulating revenue axis with our existing business, we will further accelerate AI Storm's growth. This fiscal year is for planting seeds, but I can already see what these seeds will grow into. We will become the company that manages the foundation in a world where AI agents are widespread in corporations. Achieving a market capitalization of 50 billion yen is a future we will certainly accomplish in that process.
