Sazare Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Akira Takehara; hereinafter 'the Company'), which plans and develops AI products, is pleased to announce the full-scale launch of enterprise-specific AI product development optimized for business, organization, and customers. We will provide this as a service to support managers and executives of small and medium-sized businesses who have not yet made progress in internal AI adoption discussions, accompanying them from the very first step of 'not knowing where to start.' This article also details Representative Takehara's real-life experience of inspecting 'Zhangjiang AI Innovation Town' in China.
One thing we want to convey from our company:
The option of 'not adopting AI' no longer exists.
Zhangjiang AI Innovation Town
History repeats itself: The dawn of the internet era
In the late 1990s, the office landscape was completely different from today. In accounting, everyone was using calculators. Documents were handwritten, internal communications were by FAX, and materials were distributed on paper—that was the 'normal way of working' at the time. Then the internet appeared, but many Japanese companies initially hesitated, asking, 'Is security okay?' 'Will our traditional methods be destroyed?' 'It's irrelevant to our industry.'
However, 20 years later, the position of 'calculator operator' no longer exists anywhere. Handwritten slips are gone, and computers sit on every employee's desk. The 'normal' way of working at that time completely changed in just 20 years. Companies that adopted the internet early became the protagonists of the next two decades. Many companies that chose to 'wait and see' were swallowed by structural changes in the industry.
The exact same phase is happening with AI. And the speed of the AI wave is incomparable to that of the internet. We have already entered an era where delaying decision-making by one year is equivalent to giving competitors a lead of several years.
Robots serve desired products at convenience stores.
What we saw in Zhangjiang, Shanghai: 'Nation-scale AI pursuit'
Recently, Representative Takehara visited Zhangjiang AI Innovation Town in Shanghai, China. What he witnessed there was a level of commitment vastly different from the 'AI utilization' discussions in Japan.
Zhangjiang is an area where the Chinese government is investing massive budgets to promote the clustering of the AI industry. What was truly shocking was the fact that the town itself is being used as a practical testing ground for AI.
Supermarkets, convenience stores, schools, hospitals, transportation, residences—AI under development is being incorporated into every aspect of daily life, and mechanisms proven effective are being deployed across China. A system of 'building and refining within society' is being designed at a national level. While Japanese companies perceive this movement as 'another country's business,' the rules of competition themselves are being rewritten. This conviction grew stronger through the inspection.
Companies that do not adopt AI will disappear.
What our company offers: Not 'optimizing tasks,' but 'eliminating tasks.'
What we aim for is not merely AI for task efficiency.
It is a product that creates a state where you don't have to do the tasks you are currently doing.
Imagine an office five years from now. People staying late at their desks to create documents, people taking meeting minutes, people spending their whole day answering calls, people compiling reports. These are tasks currently considered 'normal.' However, five years from now, they might be in the same position as 'calculator operators.' There's also a high possibility that unpredictable jobs will be replaced.
What will your employees be doing then?
Employees freed from routine tasks can engage in more creative work, dedicate time to more essential decision-making, and interact more deeply with customers.
That is the vision for companies that adopt AI with us within two years.
What we offer is not 'training on how to use' general tools like ChatGPT. It is an accompanying service for planning and development that finds 'replaceable tasks' in your operations, articulates them, and designs systems. AI that has learned your company's unique workflow, judgment criteria, and customer service will take over 'routine tasks' from your employees.
Our accompanying AI products will certainly reduce your working hours and redirect that time to valuable work.
Representative's Message: "Take action. That is the greatest investment you can make right now."
There is only one thing I want to convey to managers and executives in Japan right now:
The option of not adopting AI no longer exists.
Not being knowledgeable about AI, or not being able to imagine what it can do—that is nothing to be ashamed of. Management.
