【Japan First*】 "I don't know how to interact with older subordinates," "How can I guide them without hurting their pride?" As retirement age extensions and job-based retirement systems become common, many "younger bosses" face serious concerns. We provide answers through the power of science. Jibungaku Co., Ltd. has launched an AI avatar service for corporations that has completely transplanted the thinking and personality of Miyuki Sakiyama, our CEO and an expert in 'Industrial Gerontology' utilizing insights from middle-age and senior psychology.
(*As an 'AI avatar specialized in Industrial Gerontology,' according to our research.)

■ Three Features of the Service

1. A Unique Thinking Engine: Not Just 'Taught by AI,' but 'Educated the AI'
This is not a general-purpose generative AI. It has thoroughly learned Sakiyama's unique methods, the characteristics of middle-aged and senior individuals, and lifestyle research based on Industrial Gerontology (Industrial Gerontology/Aging Studies). As Sakiyama's 'alter ego,' it provides specific and warm advice.

2. A Sense of Security: Honest Talk Because 'HR Won't Find Out'
Despite being a corporate contract, we adopted a system where individual consultation details are not shared with the HR department. It serves as a 'refuge' where managers can vent their raw concerns and psychological conflicts anytime, anywhere (PC/Smartphone compatible) without worrying about performance evaluations.

3. 'Problem-Solving Ability' Based on Academic Evidence
Rather than mere encouragement, it presents solutions with scientific evidence based on psychology and gerontology, such as the 'mechanism of motivation loss in middle-aged and senior employees' and 'communication techniques that respect pride.'

■ Development Background: The 'Older Subordinate' Problem Facing Japanese Companies

Currently, many companies face the challenge of utilizing veteran employees. However, in many cases, organizational productivity decreases because 'younger bosses' are too considerate and unable to give appropriate instructions. To eliminate this 'psychological hurdle,' we have realized an environment where experts can be consulted at any time through AI technology.
