AnyMind Group Launches "AnyAI Studio" to Support AI Development Leveraging Expertise Gained Through Business Support

AnyMind Group Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kosuke Sogo; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") has launched "AnyAI Studio," a service that supports the design, development, and operational integration of AI systems tailored to the challenges of individual companies, by leveraging the business expertise cultivated in areas such as marketing, e-commerce, logistics, social media, and creator support.

"AnyAI Studio" is an AI development support service that provides end-to-end support from the formulation of AI utilization strategies to PoC*1, system development, and post-implementation operational integration. It utilizes the business design know-how, use cases, and development assets accumulated by the Company through business support in diverse industries and markets both domestically and internationally, to support AI implementation tailored to each company's business challenges and data environment.

Furthermore, by leveraging the specialized knowledge in the e-commerce and gift domains held by its group company, AnyReach Inc., the Company will also enhance AI utilization in areas such as customer experience, CRM*2, and sales promotion measures for e-commerce operators and brand companies.

Background

With the advancement of AI technologies, including generative AI, many companies are beginning to explore AI utilization. However, there are cases where AI tool adoption and PoC implementation do not lead to actual business improvements or outcomes.

To embed AI into corporate activities, a deep understanding of business processes and data structures, integration with existing systems, and design that considers on-site operations are required, in addition to AI technology itself.

The Company has been deploying a BPaaS (Business Process as a Service) model, which combines software and operations, in 15 countries and regions, primarily in Asia, across marketing, e-commerce, logistics, social media, and creator support. Through supporting business growth for companies in diverse industries and markets, we have accumulated knowledge and use cases related to business process design and operation, data utilization, and system integration.

Leveraging the expertise gained through such business support, we have launched "AnyAI Studio" to assist companies in AI utilization rooted in their actual business operations.
