Polimill Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo / Representative Directors: Ayame Ito, Nonoka Taniguchi), a company leading the social implementation of generative AI, conducted an on-site training session (beginner's course) on March 25, 2026, for officials of Marugame City, Kagawa Prefecture, on the utilization of "QommonsAI" (Commons AI), a generative AI for local governments. This was the first on-site training in a Kagawa Prefecture municipality, and there were also online participants from neighboring municipalities and associations.
### ■ Training Overview
Implementing Municipality: Marugame City, Kagawa Prefecture
Training Curriculum: Beginner's Course
Number of Participants: Approximately 40 in the morning, approximately 25 in the afternoon (total approximately 65). Online participation from neighboring municipalities and associations.
Characteristics of Participants: Copilot has already been introduced separately. One official uses generative AI daily in each session, 2-3 officials use it three days a week, and most others use it once a week. While there is little resistance to generative AI itself, many officials are touching QommonsAI for the first time.
### ■ Serious Engagement Amidst Year-End Busyness
The training day coincided with the busy year-end period and the internal announcement day for personnel changes.
Nevertheless, many officials participated, and a serious atmosphere filled the venue, with comments like "I'll need to use it at my new post, so I must listen carefully."
Neighboring municipalities and associations that had already introduced QommonsAI also participated online, and the acceptance observed in the venue, with comments like "Oh, that town is participating too," conveyed the close horizontal connections between municipalities.
Many participants were accustomed to generative AI itself, but their usage was limited to "writing a prompt and letting it generate," with little habit of brainstorming.
As they understood the functionalities of QommonsAI through the training, voices saying "This is easy to use" were heard, and scenes where exclamations of "Oh..." and "What is this... amazing..." were heard during the operation of the parliamentary AI were particularly impressive.
### ■ Voices from Participants
- "I was able to gain insights and methods on how to use generative AI." —Voices indicating they learned new ways of using it, such as brainstorming.
- "During other service operation trainings, I sometimes get bored and sleepy in the afternoon, but I could listen to the QommonsAI training the whole time. It was fun." —High satisfaction with the training itself.
### ■ Remarks from the Person in Charge (Morita)
This training was the first on-site training in a Kagawa Prefecture municipality. A wide range of age groups and experience levels, from young employees to managers, participated.
