Polimill Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo / Representative Directors: Ayame Ito, Nonoka Taniguchi), which leads the social implementation of generative AI, conducted a utilization training (beginner level) for its generative AI for local governments, 'QommonsAI,' for officials of Rifu Town, Miyagi Prefecture, on April 20, 2026. Rifu Town has been using QommonsAI in conjunction with other companies' generative AI since last year, and this training was conducted to further promote its utilization.
■ Training Implementation Overview
Implementing local government: 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: Already introduced and used in conjunction with other companies' generative AI since last year. A certain number of officials have a basic understanding of generative AI itself, with some actively using it.
■ Comparing screens and lining up for questions — Serious attitude and high interest
The atmosphere at the venue was very serious, with participants earnestly engaging with their computers. In the 'Create a greeting' workshop, participants worked in pairs to decide on a theme and seemed to be able to articulate their ideas well as prompts. There were also scenes where they exchanged opinions while comparing screens next to each other, deepening their mutual understanding.
Precisely because it was an environment where it was used in conjunction with other companies' products, the ease of use of QommonsAI stood out. In particular, when the parliamentary AI for the June assembly was introduced, participants' eyes widened with reactions like, 'Is it possible to do this by referring to the minutes...?' Many questions were asked during the Q&A session after the training, indicating a high level of interest.
Training scene
■ Feedback and requests from participants
[Feedback]
'If you use generative AI, you must be careful about handling information.' — A spontaneous realization of the risks of handling information, not just convenience.
In the consultation session after the training, a discussion was held among the department in charge, participants, and instructors regarding methods for checking copyright infringement in image and logo generation.
[Requests]
・Discussion function - A mechanism where multiple officials can interact in 'one chat room'. In local governments, decisions are made by superiors after discussions among officials, so there was a request to use it as a place for brainstorming ideas.
・Export function that can extract generated content as PDF, etc.
■ Impressions of the person in charge (Person in charge: Morita)
In the consultation session after the training, I was impressed by the sight of the department in charge and participants spontaneously discussing copyright and information security. While QommonsAI is packed with convenient functions for local governments, it is easy to focus only on convenience, but the officials of Rifu Town were also firmly aware of the risks. This is a theme that should be continuously discussed by all local governments, and we will continue to support them while valuing this high level of awareness.
