Information Strategy Technology Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO Jun Takai, hereinafter "the Company") is pleased to announce the launch of "0th ACE (Zeroji Ace)", a new development methodology and next-generation service that fuses co-creation agile, the AI innovation workspace "Miro", and AI-driven development (agent-based AI-driven development model).

This service utilizes our proprietary development methodology, "AGILE CANVAS ENGINEERING (ACE)", as the core to embody and drive this new development methodology, structurally solving "critical rework," the biggest challenge in system development.

Background of the Launch of "0th ACE"

The Limitations of "Documentation and Rework" in System Development

In traditional system development, specification documents of hundreds of pages based on text have been the biggest cause of recognition gaps among stakeholders. Discrepancies in requirements definition due to language barriers have led to serious rework, such as "This is not what we wanted," in the later stages of development, resulting in wasted costs and delays in market release (lost opportunities).

"0th ACE" fundamentally overturns these challenges by fully applying AI and visual canvases in the "0th phase (requirements analysis and design)" before full-scale development begins.

Three Approaches of the New Service "0th ACE" and the Role of "A・C・E"

This service is "co-creation consulting" that thoroughly supports the customer's project, unlike traditional consulting which is limited to guidance and strategy presentation.

This is realized by AGILE CANVAS ENGINEERING (ACE). ACE leads ultra-fast development involving all stakeholders by combining the following three elements:

AGILE

Co-creation consultants familiar with agile will organize the customer's "tacit knowledge" such as business ideas and required specifications on the spot and immediately convert them into executable sprint backlogs.

CANVAS

Utilizing Miro as the "UI for AI." Business flows, UI/UX wireframes, and data correlations are visualized on an infinite canvas. This creates a common language state where management, the field, engineers, and AI agents "all see the same picture and advance product development."

ENGINEERING (AI-Driven Development)

Visuals and structured data on Miro are directly fed into the AI environment, and coding is performed by AI agents. This enables the presentation of working prototypes (mockups) in as little as 3 to 10 business days, which is even faster than normal AI-driven development.

Overwhelming Value Provided by "0th ACE"

This service provides the following value through a clear division of roles where AI automatically draws "drafts" such as specifications and diagrams in an instant, and humans "review, judge, and nurture" them:

Dramatic Reduction in Rework Rate

By eliminating the barrier of text information and refining while looking at "working prototypes" from the beginning, recognition gaps are structurally eliminated.

Speedy Development and Reduction of Unnecessary Costs

The development verification cycle is accelerated, allowing for significantly more verification cycles within the same budget, thus preventing wasted development man-hours and budget constraints.

100% Transparency and Common Understanding

All deliverables, from the overall business picture to data structures, are centralized and visualized on Miro, allowing business departments and management, who are not engineers, to intuitively grasp the overall picture at a glance.

0th ACE is not just about utilizing AI tools; it is a new delivery model for organizations to "combine the power of AI and teams to rapidly transform product value." With 0th ACE, we will strongly support customers in building in-house IT organizations and achieving autonomous evolution.

Future Outlook

As the first concrete solution following the recently announced partnership with Miro Japan K.K., we will accelerate the full-scale deployment of this model and the creation of initial use cases.

As a direct upcoming activity, we will be sponsoring and exhibiting as a booth sponsor at "Canvas 26 Tokyo," a large-scale conference hosted by Miro Japan, to be held on July 9, 2026 (Thu) at the Hilton Tokyo. On the day, we will provide a demonstration of the "0th ACE" service, offering an opportunity to experience firsthand the next-generation development workflow that fuses AI and Miro.

Through this event, we will disseminate hints for transforming practical strategies and workflows, and continue to contribute to the in-house development support for DX and the improvement of digital competitiveness of Japanese companies.
