In 2026, AI Agents Will Become Your Personal Secretary!? AI to Drive Practical Operations After Generative AI - The 10th AI & Artificial Intelligence EXPO to be Held from April 15th at Tokyo Big Sight -

RX Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Executive Officer & President: Takeshi Tanaka) will hold the "10th AI & Artificial Intelligence EXPO" (within NexTech Week 2026 [Spring]) for three days from April 15 (Wednesday) to 17 (Friday), 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight West Exhibition Hall. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, this exhibition will feature a comprehensive array of products and services that support corporate AI utilization, including generative AI, AI agents, chatbots, natural language processing, image recognition, as well as AI infrastructure and data platforms. It serves as an exhibition where visitors from various industries can compare and consider products and services, seek advice on implementation, and gather information on the latest trends. In recent years, while the use of generative AI has expanded, a crucial theme for companies has been how to integrate AI into actual business operations and organizational management. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2026, 40% of enterprise applications will integrate task-specific AI agents, indicating that AI utilization is entering a new phase. In this context, areas expected to see early adoption include management, finance/analysis, document creation, meeting management, and customer support. 2026 is seen not merely as a year where AI replaces human roles, but rather as a year where a system emerges where humans make judgments and AI supports practical tasks, with the implementation of AI agents beginning. This exhibition will offer a comprehensive overview of themes directly related to practical operations, including AI agents, generative AI, AI infrastructure supporting AI utilization, and data management, as solutions for this implementation phase. Gartner predicts that 40% of enterprise applications will integrate task-specific AI agents by 2026. Source: Gartner News Release (August 26, 2025).
