QommonsAI Utilization Training Conducted in Rifu Town, Miyagi Prefecture — Usability Stands Out in Conjunction with Other Products, and Awareness of Information Handling Risks Awakens

Polimill Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo / Representatives: 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, on-site for officials in Rifu Town, Miyagi Prefecture, on April 20, 2026. Rifu Town has introduced QommonsAI in conjunction with generative AI products from other companies since last fiscal year, and this training was conducted to further promote its utilization.

Training Overview

Implementing Municipality: Rifu Town, Miyagi Prefecture

Training Curriculum: Beginner level (afternoon only)

Number of Participants: Approximately 25 people in total (on-site and online)

Characteristics of Participants: Introduced in conjunction with other companies' generative AI since last fiscal year. A certain number of officials have a basic understanding of generative AI itself, in a situation where "those who use it, use it."

Comparing screens, queuing for questions — Serious attitude and high interest

The atmosphere at the venue was very serious, and the participants' diligent engagement with their computers was impressive. In the "Create a greeting" workshop, participants worked in pairs to decide on a theme, and it was evident that they were able to articulate their ideas effectively as prompts. There were also scenes where they exchanged opinions while comparing screens, deepening their mutual understanding.

It was precisely in an environment where it was used in conjunction with other companies' products that QommonsAI's ease of use stood out. Especially when the AI for parliamentary affairs was introduced, with the June assembly approaching, reactions such as "Can it really do this by referencing meeting minutes...?" were seen. Many questions were received during the Q&A session after the training, indicating a high level of interest.

Training様子 (Training様子 is Japanese for 'training scene' or 'training様子', but typically this phrase would be followed by a photo or description, if not just removed for flow in English)

Voices and Requests from Participants

【Voices】

"If we are going to use generative AI, we need to be careful about how we handle information." — A spontaneous realization of the risk of handling information, not just its convenience.

In the consultation session after the training, the department in charge, participants, and instructors discussed methods for checking copyright infringement in image and logo generation.

【Requests】

・Discussion function - A mechanism that allows multiple officials to interact in "one chat room." In local governments, officials need to discuss before obtaining approval from their superiors, so they want to use it as a place for brainstorming ideas.

・Export function - An export function that allows generated content to be extracted as PDF, etc.

담당者の所感 (Supervisor's Impression) (Person in charge: Morita)

In the consultation session after the training, the sight of the department in charge and participants actively discussing copyright and information security was impressive. While QommonsAI is packed with convenient features for local governments, it's easy to focus only on convenience. However, the officials of Rifu Town were also firmly aware of the risks. This is a topic that should be continuously discussed by all local governments, and we will continue to provide support while valuing this high level of awareness.
