Polimill Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo / Representative Directors: Ayame Ito, Nonoka Taniguchi), a leader in the social implementation of generative AI, conducted an on-site utilization training (beginner's course) for its generative AI for local governments, 'QommonsAI,' targeting officials in Marugame City, Kagawa Prefecture, on March 25, 2026. This marked the first on-site training for a local government in Kagawa Prefecture, with online participation 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 approx. 65). Online participation from neighboring municipalities and associations. Participant Characteristics: Copilot already introduced separately. One official uses generative AI daily in each session, 2-3 officials use it three times a week, and most others use it once a week. While there is little resistance to generative AI itself, many officials were using QommonsAI for the first time.

Serious Engagement Amidst Year-End Busyness The training day coincided with the busy year-end period and the announcement of personnel transfers. Despite this, many officials participated, and a serious atmosphere filled the venue, with comments like, "I need to listen carefully because I'll be using this even after my transfer." Neighboring municipalities and associations that had already introduced QommonsAI also participated online, and the sight of them being welcomed with remarks like, "Oh, that town is participating too," highlighted the strong horizontal connections between local governments. While many participants were accustomed to generative AI itself, their usage was limited to "writing a prompt and generating a response," with little habit of iterative refinement. As they understood QommonsAI's features through the training, voices were heard saying, "This is easy to use," and scenes of surprise, such as "Oh..." and "What is this... amazing..." during the operation of the parliamentary response AI, were particularly memorable.

Participant Feedback - "I was able to learn how to use generative AI and gain new insights." — Feedback indicated learning new ways of using AI, such as iterative refinement. - "Other service operation trainings can be boring and make me sleepy in the afternoon, but I was able to listen to the QommonsAI training the whole time. It was enjoyable." — High satisfaction with the training itself.

Instructor's Impression (Instructor: Morita) This training was the first on-site training for a local government in Kagawa Prefecture. I am very pleased that officials of a wide range of ages and experience levels, from young staff to managers, participated. We received fresh reactions to QommonsAI's unique features and the method of iterative refinement. I hope that after the upcoming personnel changes within the organization, the officials who attended the training will take the initiative to spread the momentum of "If anything comes up, let's try using QommonsAI first!"

About QommonsAI QommonsAI, a generative AI for local governments provided by Polimill Corporation, supports the resolution of local government challenges on an evidence-based approach, drawing from tens of millions of data points including domestic and international laws, policies, academic papers, and local government case studies.
