Exhibited Product: Export Management AI Agent "TRAFEED (Torafido)"

"IVS Startup Market" is an exhibition and networking space at IVS2026 where selected startups from Japan and abroad gather. Under the theme "That business trip might be an export," TIMEWELL will allow visitors to experience how AI agents can alleviate the burden of export management (security export control) in manufacturing industries, trading companies, and research institutions.

Background: Decoupling Export Management from Personal Expertise to Eliminate Errors

From technology, products, and blueprints to the overseas provision of research data—the scope of security export control (list controls and catch-all controls) can be hidden within everyday transactions and business trips. Determining whether items fall under regulations (Gahi Hantei) and screening business partners often depend on the experience and time of the person in charge, and the task of cross-referencing regulatory information and customer data scattered inside and outside the company is also a significant burden. On the other hand, violations of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act carry severe penalties (fines and imprisonment for individuals and corporations, administrative sanctions such as export bans for up to 3 years), demanding accuracy and accountability that leaves no room for error. TIMEWELL proposes a shift to "human-in-the-loop" collaboration, where AI agents handle the preliminary research, organization, and reporting, while humans retain responsibility for the final decision.

What You Can Experience at the Booth (Scheduled)

At booth SA-6, you can experience the capabilities of the export management AI agent through live demonstrations of TRAFEED.

TRAFEED visualizes the risk level of export transactions with S/A/B/C chips.

5-Second Risk Visualization Demo: Based on transaction information, the risk level (S/A/B/C) of an export transaction will be visualized on the spot. You can see the process of automatically generating a report with supporting links for a series of investigations in as little as 10 minutes.

Gahi Hantei and Blueprint Analysis: We will demonstrate how AI agents can support the burdensome task of Gahi Hantei and the interpretation of parameter sheets and technical documents in manufacturing settings.

Individual Consultations and Business Meetings: You can consult on-site about how to utilize TRAFEED for your company's export management operations and about implementation.

AI agents assist in reading blueprints and specifications, extracting part numbers, materials, and dimensions, and checking for regulatory risks. They visualize the risk level and automatically generate reports with supporting evidence. The final decision is made by humans (human-in-the-loop).

*Booth exhibits and distributed materials are subject to change.

About TRAFEED

TRAFEED is the world's first* AI agent in the field of Japan's security export control (list controls and catch-all controls). It employs a unique architecture where multiple LLMs such as Claude, GPT, and Gemini make decisions collaboratively, and deterministic rules structurally suppress hallucinations (factual errors). It references a proprietary database of approximately 200 million items, including academic papers, patents, and researcher information, to visualize the risk level of export transactions in just 5 seconds, and automatically generates reports with supporting evidence for a series of investigations in as little as 10 minutes. The core risk (concern level) determination logic has obtained a technical patent (Patent No. 7862062). It is premised on "human-in-the-loop," where humans are responsible for the final decision.

*World's first in the field of Japan's security export control (as of March 2026, according to our research).

TRAFEED has been developed and verified with Okayama University as a design partner, and over 20 organizations, including manufacturing companies, trading companies, research universities, and independent administrative agencies, have already decided to adopt it.

CEO Comment

Ryuta Hamamoto, Representative Director and CEO: "Export management is hidden in the daily operations of more companies than you might think. That's why we ask, 'That business trip might be an export.' Because it's something that cannot be mistaken, it takes time and tends to concentrate the burden on the person in charge. We aim to create a situation where AI agents handle the tedious preliminary research and organization, allowing people to focus on the final decision. We hope you will experience the new form of export management that TRAFEED envisions at our booth at IVS2026, a venue where startups from Japan and abroad gather."

Future Developments

TIMEWELL will continue to address the on-site challenges in various industries, including export management, and promote the expansion of TRAFEED's functions and its adoption. In the field of export management, we will strengthen our proactive response to regulatory changes, including the upcoming revision of the U.S. EAR (Export Administration Regulations) scheduled for 2026.
