"Don't make tourism apps anymore?" Seminar on utilizing 'Spot AI (ToyTalk)' to solve tourism and regional challenges.
■ Background of the Event
The "City Promotion and Tourism DX Status Survey" conducted by GDX in July 2025 revealed that approximately 49.0% of local government and tourism association staff are responsible for tourism DX promotion "concurrently with other duties." Furthermore, budgets for tourism DX-related activities are predominantly "less than 5 million yen," highlighting the reality of sites with limited human resources and budgets.
For such sites, conventional AI (with several months of construction time and millions of yen in costs) and tourism apps (requiring continuous updates and operations after release) are, frankly, a mismatch. It is not uncommon to hear comments like, "We introduced it, but it stopped being used," or "Only the operational burden remained."
In this seminar, we will directly introduce how to utilize "ToyTalk," a Spot AI solution that is attracting attention as a new option to bridge this "gap between the field and conventional DX," from BridgeWell Inc., its developer and provider.
■ This seminar is recommended for local government, tourism association, and DMO staff facing the following challenges:
* Developed a tourism app, but the burden of updates and operations is heavy.
* Want to streamline tourist information and Q&A during events, but have limited budget.
* Considering AI implementation, but an investment of several months and millions of yen is not realistic.
* Want to utilize AI easily for limited-time events and campaigns.
* Want to improve the quality of tourist services with fewer personnel.
