Future Link Network (FLN) announced that Tokushima City is the first local government to adopt their region-specific AI tool, 'Maipure-kun'. This system allows PR staff to scan printed newsletters, which the AI then analyzes to generate optimized content for platforms like Google Business Profiles and Instagram within 5 to 10 minutes. This partnership follows a cooperative agreement signed in July 2025 to address the shortage of resources for municipal information dissemination. FLN plans to expand this AI-driven regional revitalization model to other municipalities across Japan.
