AI Storm Signs NDA with NASDAQ-Listed Aurora Mobile

AI Storm Co., Ltd. (formerly Jexeed Co., Ltd., headquarters in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO Toshio Imai; TSE Code: 3719) has entered into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with Aurora Mobile Limited (NASDAQ: JG), a U.S.-listed company, through its Japanese subsidiary Aurora Mobile Japan Corporation (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "Aurora Mobile"). The two companies are now advancing discussions toward a business partnership.

Ahead of the formal collaboration, a project has been launched to introduce Aurora Mobile’s core products into Japan Tele-System Co., Ltd. ("NTS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AI Storm. Additionally, AI Storm will support Aurora Mobile’s market expansion in Japan.

Transforming M&A-acquired businesses with AI—this initiative marks the first step in executing AI Storm’s growth strategy aimed at achieving a market capitalization of 50 billion yen.

◆ Overview of the Initiative

This initiative aligns AI Storm Group’s goal of AI-driven business transformation with Aurora Mobile’s objective of expanding into the Japanese market.

NTS, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary in April 2026, operates call center services and e-commerce-related BPO businesses. Since the acquisition, AI Storm has actively pursued the AI transformation of these operations.

Simultaneously, AI Storm will leverage its business infrastructure and network to support Aurora Mobile Japan Corporation—established in March 2026—in its domestic market entry. Both companies will jointly target the Japanese market. Specific implementation details and timelines will be announced once finalized.

◆ Background of the Initiative

— Structural Shifts in Customer Support Operations

Japan’s customer service sector faces a structural challenge: a shrinking labor force makes it increasingly difficult to secure human operators, while the scope of tasks handled by AI and automated systems continues to expand. According to Yano Research Institute, the domestic contact center solutions market is expected to grow steadily beyond FY2025, driven by the increasing automation of tasks traditionally performed by operators due to severe labor shortages.

AI Storm views this structural shift as its greatest business opportunity. Since acquiring NTS, the company has positioned the AI transformation of its operations as a core growth strategy. By partnering with Aurora Mobile—a company with strengths in messaging and AI agent technologies—AI Storm aims to establish an AI-powered customer engagement infrastructure, transforming its customer support business from one that struggles with labor shortages to one that leads digital transformation. This is the strategic rationale behind the initiative.

◆ About Aurora Mobile

— Rapidly Growing Engagement AI

Founded in 2011, Aurora Mobile has continuously refined its messaging and AI agent technologies and went public on the NASDAQ in 2018 as a global technology company. Its growth is now accelerating.

According to the company, it achieved its first full-year profit under GAAP in FY2025 and has maintained profitability for four consecutive quarters since. Its flagship customer engagement platform, "EngageLab," reported annual recurring revenue of $11.7 million as of March 2026—a 172% year-on-year increase—and serves 1,864 clients, up 120% from the previous year, with expansion across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Its other core product, the AI agent platform "GPTBots," enables enterprises to integrate and deploy the latest large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, and DeepSeek into business operations.

In April 2026, Aurora Mobile integrated the newly released DeepSeek-V4 immediately upon launch—minimizing the time lag between global AI innovation and real-world enterprise deployment.

With rapidly growing products and the engineering capability to deploy cutting-edge AI instantly, the company is now exploring the introduction of this globally proven technology into NTS.

◆ Future Outlook

— Bringing World-Class AI to Japanese Frontlines

The scope of this initiative extends beyond the AI transformation of NTS alone.

The target market continues to expand. Data Bridge Market Research forecasts that the global cloud-based contact center market will grow at a CAGR of 26.1%, reaching $112 billion by 2030.

The plan is to first transform operations at NTS, refine the implementation model within Japan’s unique business context, and then jointly expand to other Japanese enterprises facing similar challenges.

The synergy between Aurora Mobile’s globally growing engagement AI and AI Storm’s deep understanding of the Japanese market will pave the way to achieving a market capitalization of 50 billion yen.

AI Storm will continue to accelerate toward this future.
