■ Regarding the AI Utilization Initiative 'Kousei Kouetsu AI.com'
In addition to 'Kurashi no AI,' Shufunotomo is also working on utilizing AI aimed at improving quality and efficiency in internal editorial operations.
As part of this, we have independently developed 'Kousei Kouetsu AI.com' (Proofreading and Copyediting AI.com), a proofreading and copyediting support tool that editors can use daily.

By merging the editorial expertise cultivated over many years with AI, we have achieved further improvements in content quality and operational efficiency.
Furthermore, we plan to provide this tool as an AI solution for publishers and media companies in the future, contributing to the advancement of overall editorial operations.

■ Regarding Expansion for Municipalities and Companies
In addition to being a service for consumers, 'Kurashi no AI' can be introduced as a customized AI tailored to the respective issues and needs of municipalities and companies.

- Automating responses to inquiries from residents and customers
- Reducing the burden of front-desk operations
- Preventing missed opportunities through 24-hour response

Furthermore, for municipalities, it can be used for life consultation, monitoring, and prevention support, and for companies, it can be widely introduced as customer support and employee assistance.
By custom-designing it according to the systems, services, and FAQs of each municipality and company, we realize practical operations suited to the actual site.
This significantly reduces inquiry responses and contributes to improving service quality.
