Seinan Isaka, CTO of Takumi-Giken, to Speak at YOUTRUST's Product History Conference 2026

Takumi-Giken Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Shota Maeda; hereinafter “the company”), an AI startup supporting digital transformation (DX) in manufacturing through quotation and drawing management, announces that its Director and CTO, Seinan Isaka, will speak at the Product History Conference 2026 hosted by YOUTRUST Inc.

Background of the Appearance

The Product History Conference is a tech conference dedicated to learning from the development journeys of products and services. Now in its third year, the 2026 edition is themed “Products and Developers That Survive the AI Era,” bringing together practitioners from the front lines of development, including PdMs, engineers, and designers. As generative AI reshapes the fundamentals of product development, Isaka will discuss what it takes for products—and their creators—to thrive in the AI era.

Session Details

Isaka will speak on Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 14:30 to 14:50 on STAGE B, with the session titled “Not Just Providing Features, But Executing Business Tasks: Product and Organizational Design for Surviving the AI Era.”

With the rise of generative AI, SaaS is evolving from merely “providing features” to “executing business tasks.” In manufacturing, while machine tools operate 24/7, critical factory management tasks—such as quoting, order processing, production planning, procurement, and cost management—still rely heavily on people, paper, Excel, and individual expertise.

In this session, using the design of Takumi-Force—the company’s flagship product—as a case study, Isaka will explore what it means for a product to handle the entire loop from task initiation to execution, decision-making, and learning. She will also share the design philosophy essential for products to survive in the AI era, grounded in real-world development experiences.

About Takumi-Force

Takumi-Force is an all-in-one AI service designed for the manufacturing industry.

Manufacturing sites possess valuable technical expertise and know-how accumulated over decades. However, much of this knowledge remains trapped in the minds of veteran workers or buried in paper and Excel files.

This reliance on individual expertise, manual processes, and scattered knowledge poses a major barrier to sustainable growth in manufacturing.

Takumi-Force centralizes drawing management, quotation and cost calculation, and shop-floor knowledge, transforming tacit expertise into digital assets.

By leveraging accumulated data, AI assists daily operations—standardizing and streamlining workflows while strengthening overall factory management.

A specialized team with deep understanding of manufacturing processes supports clients from implementation design to on-site adoption.

Takumi-Force is currently used across a wide range of manufacturing sites, from listed corporations to small workshops.
