Araya Launches AI Partner Platform 'ClanExe' with Pre-Release Product Introduction Site

Araya Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Ryota Kanai, hereinafter referred to as Araya) has announced 'ClanExe (ClanExe)', an AI partner platform where users can gather AI members according to their purpose and form a 'party (team)' to work with humans. In preparation for the closed beta launch with limited functions in mid-July 2026, the product introduction site (LP) will be released in advance from today, and recruitment for closed beta partner companies will begin.

ClanExe Product Introduction Site

ClanExe is a product developed by Araya's NeuroAI research organization 'Persona Lab' and is designed under the philosophy of 'transforming AI from a tool to a partner that thinks and judges together'.

■ Background: From 'Tool' to 'Partner'

While the business use of generative AI is becoming widespread, many companies are facing the limitations of AI as a tool, such as 'waiting for instructions', 'lack of context', and 'one-off'. The next competitive axis lies in the ability to master AI not just as a mere tool, but as a 'partner' that understands the context of business, acts on its own, and makes judgments based on past discussions.

ClanExe addresses this challenge by aligning four elements: 'personality, role, team, and setting', evolving AI into a partner.

■ Main Features of ClanExe

1. AI Character Creation (AI Agent Creation): Design your own AI agent (available from closed beta)

You can give AI personality and abilities based on values and judgment criteria (Mind), role (Role), manner of speaking (Style), specialized skills (Skill), and industry knowledge (Knowledge), allowing you to create a dedicated member that suits your work style.

2. AI Party Formation (Multi-Agent Collaboration): Form a team with AI of different roles (scheduled for full version in late September)

You can form a team by combining AI with different roles such as researchers, architects, and critics. You can choose a collaboration method according to your purpose, such as step-by-step, debate, and round-robin. You can tackle questions that one AI cannot solve with a team perspective.

3. AI Panel: Visualize the voices of more than 100 AI (available from closed beta)

By having a group of more than 100 AI personas respond, you can structure collective opinion distribution and meaningful clusters that are not visible with a single AI. It can be used for market research and pre-verification of measures.

■ Technical Backing: Design Based on NeuroAI Research

The AI persona technology of ClanExe is backed by Araya's research results.

arXiv paper (April 2026): 'Psychological Concept Neurons: Can Neural Control Bias Probing and Shift Generation in LLMs?' (Research on neuron control of personality traits / Authors: Yuto Harada, Hiro Taiyo Hamada / Araya Inc.) demonstrated that personality traits (Big Five) exist and are controllable at the neuron level within LLMs.

Special issue of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence (March 2026): 'Mechanical Neuroscience by Neuro-Aligned AI' (Author: Hiro Taiyo Hamada) proposed 'Digital Twin Neuroscience', the theoretical foundation of ClanExe.

These studies enable ClanExe to design highly accurate AI personas that reflect human cognitive and judgment patterns, not just as a mere AI agent tool.

■ Future Developments

Mid-July 2026: Closed beta launch (limited verification of character creation, sessions, and AI panels for closed partners). Early registration starts today
Late September 2026: Full version (public) launch (add party formation, full-scale provision of AI panels)

■ Recruitment for Closed Beta Partner Companies

ClanExe is recruiting partner companies to jointly verify the closed beta launch in July. Companies interested in new business development, market research, and verification of internal measures are encouraged to inquire below.
