Polimill Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Ayame Ito / Nonoka Taniguchi), a leader in the social implementation of generative AI, announces the release of its new feature, 'Deep Research,' for its generative AI for government administration, 'QommonsAI,' scheduled for an update on April 1, 2026.
New Feature 'Deep Research' Launch
Entering an Era Where AI Handles 'Research'
Policy formulation and preparation for parliamentary responses in local governments require sophisticated research tasks that involve collecting, organizing, and comparing information from multiple sources. However, in reality, these tasks continue to consume significant time and effort from staff.
'Where should I look?' 'Is the information sufficient?' 'Can I provide the evidence?'
Deep Research allows AI to autonomously handle this entire process.
◾️What is Deep Research?
Deep Research is a function that enables AI to autonomously execute research processes based on user instructions and automatically generate structured reports.
It's more than just a search.
Decomposition of the query → Research plan formulation → Web search → Information scrutiny → Re-search → Report generation
By repeating this cycle, the AI deepens its investigation until the necessary information is found.
It generates output with citations while enhancing the comprehensiveness and accuracy of information.
Examples of Automatically Generated Output
All outputs clearly indicate their sources, enabling accountability based on evidence.
Research memos with citations - Information organization with explicit grounds
Comparison tables organizing multiple pieces of information - Suitable for comparing cases and systems of other local governments
Organized materials by point - Useful for preparing parliamentary responses and explanatory materials
Deeper Research Through Integration with Administrative Knowledge
QommonsAI's Deep Research goes beyond web information.
It can be used in conjunction with cross-searching administrative knowledge of national local governments held by QommonsAI, and dedicated RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) storing internal documents.
In addition to general public information, it allows for research and analysis, including administrative-specific knowledge such as 'how similar policies were discussed in the parliament of neighboring municipalities' or 'what are the examples of ordinance enactment in other prefectures,' all completed on a single screen.
Applications in Local Government Operations
Local government operations require the collection, organization, and comparison of diverse information for system design and policy consideration.
Deep Research automates this entire research process, improving operational efficiency and supporting evidence-based decision-making.
In-depth research on priority projects - Comprehensive comparison and organization of policy options
Preparation for parliamentary responses - Rapid collection of examples and evidence from other local governments
Creation of explanatory materials - Automatic generation of organized points and evidence-based materials with citations
System design and policy formulation - Creation of comparative materials across multiple information sources
◾️About QommonsAI
