Polimill Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEOs: Ayame Ito and Nonoka Taniguchi), a leader in the social implementation of generative AI, conducted a beginner-level utilization training for the local government-oriented generative AI 'QommonsAI' for officials of Noheji Town, Aomori Prefecture, on April 13 and 14, 2026. A partnership agreement was signed on the morning of the first day, kicking off the full-scale deployment of QommonsAI across all departments through this training.
■ Training Overview
Target Municipality: Noheji Town, Aomori Prefecture
Curriculum: Beginner Level (2 days, 4 sessions total)
Number of Participants: Approx. 30 per session (Total approx. 120). All sessions were fully booked.
Participant Profile: Only about one official per session used generative AI daily in their work. 50-60% had almost never used it.
Background: A partnership agreement was signed on the first morning. This training launched the town-wide rollout of QommonsAI.
■ "A Catalyst for Change": Vitality at the Fully Booked Venue on Signing Day
Following the signing of the agreement on the first morning, the training started amidst a town-wide enthusiasm to proactively use the tool. Many participants shared positive motives, such as, "I joined because I'm curious about AI" and "We need to change. I thought this would be the trigger."
As the majority had little experience with AI, the training proceeded carefully from basic concepts, addressing the concern: "I don't know how to use AI in my work." As they practiced, officials expressed surprise and confidence, saying, "Wow! AI is so smart!" "QommonsAI is so convenient!" and "It's easy to use."
■ Feedback from Town Officials and Participants
Comment from Town Representative:
"System implementation training often leaves participants passive, but this session was more energetic than any before."
"Bringing together officials from different departments and generations provided a great opportunity for exchange."
Voice from Participants:
"We have many foreign interns, so it could be useful for translation."
"I think it can be used to identify changes by comparing plans."
Through the training, staff began thinking about how to apply AI to their specific duties.
■ Impressions from Organizers (Morita and Kusunoki)
By holding the training on the same day as the agreement signing, there was a sense of unity across the town hall that 'we are starting from here.' This is not a conclusion but the beginning. Through the agreement, we feel a stronger sense of partnership to realize a sustainable local society with the people of Noheji Town through QommonsAI.
