QommonsAI Utilization Training Held in Oga City, Akita Prefecture — Full-Scale Deployment to All Departments After Comparative Selection with Other Products; Feedback Reveals "We Realized How Much Waste There Was in Previous Work Procedures"

Polimill Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo / Representative Directors: Ayame Ito, Nonoka Taniguchi), a company leading the social implementation of generative AI, conducted a utilization training (beginner level) for "QommonsAI," a generative AI for local governments, for staff of Oga City, Akita Prefecture, on April 15, 2026. Oga City had been conducting comparative selections with other companies' products until March, and this training marked the start of the full-scale deployment to all departments from April.

Training Implementation Overview

Implementing Municipality: Oga City, Akita Prefecture

Training Curriculum: Beginner level

Number of Participants: Approximately 10 in the morning, approximately 20 in the afternoon (including online participants from branch offices)

Characteristics of Participants: 1-2 staff members per session were already using generative AI for work. More than half had not used it for work or were logging in for the first time. On the other hand, more than half had experience using generative AI on smartphones, etc.

Background: After a selection period until March, during which it was used in conjunction with other companies' products, QommonsAI was adopted. This was the first training session for full-scale deployment from April.

"Not Missing a Single Word" — Staff Learn with Creativity While Making Their Own Notes

Despite being a busy time at the beginning of the fiscal year, a strong desire to "first thoroughly learn how to use it!" was palpable throughout the venue. Although it was announced that "training content is recorded for archive," many staff members brought notebooks and diligently took notes on every single word.

With more than half of the participants having experience using generative AI on smartphones, etc., once they understood QommonsAI's functions and usage, their creative efforts in prompting, based on the training content, were impressive during the workshops. Combined with their experience using other companies' products during the selection period until March, many staff members were impressed, realizing "It changes so much when you use generative AI..." and saw a ray of hope for improving municipal work, which tends to follow precedents.

Feedback and Requests from Participants

"We realized how much waste there was in previous work procedures" — Insights into reviewing work itself, which emerged as understanding of QommonsAI deepened.

"Generative AI is smart!" "It's interesting!" — Voices of pure surprise and discovery.

[Requests]

・Implementation of a file export function for chat content (currently requires manual copy & paste)

・Guidance on more specific usage of administrative document (e-Gov laws) functions is desired.

Impression from the Person in Charge (Manager: Morita)

I feel that the great significance of this training is that it became an opportunity for staff themselves to realize, "We can make our work easier and more efficient." I hope that the pure discovery of "Generative AI is interesting!" will lead to motivation to continue using it and spread it throughout the office.
