On May 11, 2026, Polimill Inc., a leader in the social implementation of generative AI, conducted an on-site training session for staff in Tsuru City, Yamanashi, on its government-focused generative AI, 'QommonsAI.' A total of 80 employees participated in the two-part session, creating an opportunity to learn about streamlining municipal operations and work-style reform.
Overview of Training Municipality: Tsuru City, Yamanashi Curriculum: Introductory Level (for all staff and management) Participants: 80 total (approx. 60 for general staff in the morning, approx. 20 for management in the afternoon) Participant profile: Many were interested in specific operational applications.
'Exceeded Expectations' — The Power of AI in Council Support During the management training in the afternoon, a demonstration of the QommonsAI 'Council Support AI' was held. Management staff, who have spent years on council preparation, were shocked and impressed by the utility of the AI, stating, 'I spent hours creating draft responses, and I could never have imagined they could be created this easily.' This moment signaled not just time savings, but a fundamental shift in work style, allowing staff to focus on high-quality public services and policy development.
'Expectations' from the Field — DX Embraced by All Staff During the morning session for all staff, there was a continuous stream of specific questions from employees touching generative AI for the first time, such as 'How can I apply this to my work?' The staff's serious engagement with the training and their proactive approach to clearing up doubts after the session reflected the strong motivation of Tsuru City for reform and their high expectations for QommonsAI.
Comment from the Representative (Morita) 'In talking with the staff of Tsuru City, I felt a strong determination to embrace AI not just as a tool, but as a partner to improve their work. We will continue to accompany Tsuru City in their administrative reform, responding quickly to feedback such as UI improvements.'
