Stockmark Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and CEO: Hayashi Daru, hereinafter "our company"), a provider of proprietary Generative AI platforms and business-focused Generative AI services, has developed two "Business Planning Support AI Agents (Market Size Estimation / Forced Ideation)" to accelerate R&D and new business consideration, and has released a free DEMO version.
By utilizing these agents, tasks such as market size calculation and deriving novel yet feasible business ideas, which would cost millions of yen and take several weeks when outsourced to consulting firms, can be accomplished in a few hours at a significantly reduced cost of one-fifth or less.
Development Background
Our company has been supporting the advancement of each process in the engineering chain of the manufacturing industry through its "SAT Agent Cockpit" platform for autonomous AI operations.
* Research & Development: Enhancing discovery of unknown needs and exploration of technology applications
* Design: Reducing development lead time by structuring past design knowledge
* Manufacturing: Inheriting know-how of skilled workers and optimizing processes
* Quality Assurance: Automating early detection of market defects and risk management
Among these, in the face of intensifying global competition, early commercialization of technology, such as application exploration and new business creation, is a critical issue. Our "Application Exploration Support" has addressed challenges faced by R&D and new business departments, such as "dependence on specialized individuals" and "product-out approaches," using our unique Generative AI approach.
In fact, many initiatives have moved beyond the stage of demonstration experiments and are being applied to actual business operations, including the industry-academia collaboration open innovation AI "Bibbidi" jointly developed with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) group (*1), "Advancement of New Application Exploration" at NGK Insulators, Ltd. (*2), and "Improvement of Accuracy and Efficiency in R&D and New Business Creation" at Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd. (*3).
Meanwhile, in many manufacturing R&D and new business consideration sites, while the use of general LLMs (ChatGPT, etc.) is progressing, practical implementation faces three hurdles: the "Abstraction Wall," where output is superficial and cannot be translated into business plans; the "Logic Wall," where ideas lack consistency in market size and technical basis, making them unsuitable for internal persuasion; and the "Feasibility Wall," where ideas ignore physical laws or market realities.
To overcome these challenges, the "Business Planning Support AI Agent" developed this time implements a "Deep Research" mechanism where the AI itself conducts repeated verification.
