## Press Release Information
**Title:** BRANU Shifts to AI-Driven Development to Boost Productivity by 1.3x to 2x
**Company:** BRANU Inc.
**Industry:** Construction DX Platform
**Main Text:**
BRANU Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tatsuya Natomi; Securities Code: 460A), which operates a construction DX platform business, began transitioning its product development to an 'AI-Driven Development' system in April 2026.
Through this initiative, the company aims to structurally reduce development costs, increase capital efficiency, and build a high-quality product development system even with a small team. Furthermore, by operating everything from decision-making to design and development on an integrated platform, communication costs will be reduced, and development productivity is expected to increase by 1.3 to 2 times.
### Background of the Transition
In recent years, the evolution of AI has significantly improved the efficiency of software development, such as code generation and design support, lowering the barrier to 'building' products. Consequently, the importance of decision-making—determining 'what should be built'—has become even more critical in product development.
In such an environment, treating the process from decision-making to design and development as a consistent structure and maintaining consistency in judgment criteria and specifications is a key factor influencing quality and productivity.
Therefore, BRANU has positioned AI not merely as an implementation support tool but as a foundation that supports the entire process from decision-making to development, redesigning the product development structure itself. This initiative reconstructs development as a series of flows: 'decision-making,' 'product design,' and 'development,' transitioning to a consistent development system by operating them integrally on a unified platform.
### Reconstructing the Development Process
This initiative consists of two elements: 'BRANU BRAIN,' an AI foundation that derives 'what to build,' and 'SSOT' (Single Source of Truth), which defines 'how to build.'
**'BRANU BRAIN'**
At the upstream of decision-making lies our AI platform, 'BRANU BRAIN.' It accumulates customer data from over 6,200 small and medium-sized construction businesses, market environments, and past decisions and their results. This makes it possible to determine 'what should be built' based on data rather than experience or intuition.
**SSOT**
SSOT is a system that centralizes all decision-making criteria for products and manages them as the 'single source of truth.' While 'BRANU BRAIN' derives 'what to build,' SSOT integrates product policies, functional specifications, UI/UX rules, and design constraints to define 'how to build' based on consistent standards.
With SSOT, all members involved in development and the AI can make judgments based on the same standards. This eliminates the need for traditional stages like requirement alignment and recognition adjustment, leading to reduced communication costs.
Due to this structure, the process from requirement definition to specification proceeds without disruption, making stages like rework and adjustment less likely to occur. As a result, development productivity is expected to increase by 1.3 to 2 times (based on company estimates).
### Comment from CEO Tatsuya Natomi
'AI-Driven Development for Scalable Products!'
With the use of AI, development can now proceed at an unprecedented speed. On the other hand, as speed increases, variations in quality and fragmented decision-making become new challenges.
Therefore, we have placed 'BRANU BRAIN' and SSOT at the center of development, consolidating specifications, designs, and judgment criteria into one to build an AI-driven development system that balances speed and quality. AI takes on generation and verification, while humans focus on structure and decision-making. This division of roles achieves high-speed yet stable quality in product evolution.
As differentiation through individual functions becomes difficult, we believe our competitive advantage lies not in the product itself, but in a 'development mechanism that continues to evolve.' AI-driven development is the growth engine for continuously increasing the value of the 'CAREECON Platform' and a strategy to transform it into a 'self-evolving product.'
We will continue to accelerate product evolution through this initiative and contribute to improving the productivity of small and medium-sized construction businesses through AI.
### About Engineer Recruitment
BRANU is recruiting engineers who will accelerate product evolution under the AI-driven development system. We look forward to receiving applications from those who want to challenge high-value-added areas such as design and decision-making in an AI-native development environment.
