exaBase Studio Launches 'Minna de Kaihatsu' (Develop Together), a New Feature Supporting Collaborative Development Between On-site Users and AI Agents

ExaWizards Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President, and CEO: Shin Haruta; hereinafter 'ExaWizards') will launch 'Minna de Kaihatsu' (Develop Together), a new feature group within its AI agent development and operation platform 'exaBase Studio' in May. This new feature supports collaborative development between on-site users and AI agents. It provides end-to-end support from use case exploration to business analysis, requirements definition, and development, even without specialized knowledge, with the help of AI agents and ExaWizards experts. Additionally, by making a part of the numerous application templates – one of exaBase Studio's strengths – available as source code to contracted users, it enables users to extend applications through AI-driven development themselves.

Background

In recent years, the efficiency of application development itself has rapidly advanced with the advent of coding agents. However, areas 'other' than development, such as organizing business processes, defining issues to be solved and solutions, and setting up development environments, are still often human-centric. As a result, challenges such as high costs, inconsistent quality depending on the person in charge, and lack of scalability have become apparent. While development has become faster, the overall DX speed of business as a whole has not improved.

Against this backdrop, ExaWizards believes that to make AI-powered development effective on the front lines, it is necessary to have a system that allows AI to assist not only in improving development efficiency but also in the prerequisite steps of organizing and visualizing business processes, identifying issues to be solved, defining solutions, and designing. Therefore, we have been promoting the development of exaBase Studio.

exaBase Studio is a platform that consolidates various internal data and enables the development and operation of AI agents and AI applications based on that data. Its strengths include numerous application templates that can be used immediately for business and a robust execution infrastructure that can stably run developed applications. Leveraging these strengths, we have implemented 'Minna de Kaihatsu,' consisting of four new features, to evolve into a platform that can provide end-to-end support for business use case exploration, business analysis, requirements definition, and AI development. Furthermore, by making application templates available as source code to exaBase Studio contracted users, we enable users themselves to extend applications in a business-appropriate manner through AI-driven development.

This aims to create an environment where users, who best understand the front lines, can proactively advance AI app development tailored to their business challenges.

About the 'Minna de Kaihatsu' Feature Group

'Minna de Kaihatsu' is a group of four features that allow on-site users without specialized knowledge to intuitively develop applications with the support of AI agents and experts. AI agents handle initial use cases and consultations regarding business application, while AI agents and ExaWizards experts provide support for advanced requirements definition and development.

Anytime Explore

A collection of business use case examples, available even to users without an exaBase Studio license. It helps in discovering applicable businesses based on actual AI agent utilization examples.

Anytime Consult

A consultation function for considering applying use cases to one's own business based on the example collection. A certain amount of interaction is available free of charge.

Design Together

A function that supports the visualization of business requirements and consensus building. ExaWizards experts participate in advanced requirements definition to design together. AI specifically supports the following:

- AI automatically audits business processes and working hours across the entire company by interviewing employees. - Extraction and reporting of business issues. - Proposal of To-Be business processes. - Confirmation of business design through dialogue with users.

Develop Together

After signing a contract, you can immediately begin AI-driven development using coding agents. ExaWizards provides a secure development environment on its servers. Users can concentrate on product development itself. Furthermore, development support by ExaWizards experts is available upon request. Support can be selected from the following three plans:

- In-house Development Plan: Customer-led AI-driven development - Accompaniment Support Plan: Collaborative development between the customer and ExaWizards experts - Outsourced Development Plan: Development by ExaWizards

These plans can be flexibly chosen according to the customer's situation.
