Service list of AI solutions provided by Vision Base Inc. under the "Tonari no AI Series"
"Tonari no AX Promotion Manager" is an operational human resource support service that provides professional personnel specializing in AX promotion (AI Transformation) through semi-entrusted contracts. Dedicated AI consultants will work on-site with client companies, from mid-term AI utilization planning to implementation and adoption, strategically driving AX promotion. Three plans are available, starting from a small-scale start at ¥300,000/month to full commitment (¥2,000,000/month), tailored to the company's size and the depth of its challenges.
Background: The "Three Structural Walls" Hindering AX Promotion in Japanese Companies
While AI utilization is rapidly expanding in Japanese companies, much of it remains at the "partial implementation" or "tool trial" stage, failing to evolve into business transformation (AX) at the management level. Based on our experience supporting over 80 companies in building and implementing AI agents, we have identified that the fundamental reasons for stalled AI promotion are not technical issues, but "people" issues.
Furthermore, changes in the employment environment are compounding corporate challenges. With rising minimum wages and increasing social insurance burdens, the cost of hiring and retaining full-time employees is growing year by year. Amidst chronic labor shortages and excessive workloads, even with the desire to "streamline with AI," many companies express confusion about "where to start," "implementing AI but failing to achieve internal adoption, rendering it a wasted investment," or hesitation due to "high AI investment costs.".
Moreover, while many companies feel a sense of urgency to "act concretely rather than wait and see" as industry peers advance their AX, they are unable to take action. This is due to the following three structural walls:
Wall 1: Absence of Leaders to Take Charge
While management may issue directives to "utilize AI," there is a lack of personnel at the operational level who can lead projects and translate them into concrete measures. Even when appointed as AI promotion managers, individuals often lack specialized knowledge, leading to wasted time as they "don't know where to begin." The reality is that hiring immediate-use AX talent is highly difficult, requiring significant time and cost.
Wall 2: Depletion of Specialized Knowledge and Know-how
Companies lack personnel knowledgeable in AI and DX, making it difficult to determine which business processes are suitable for AI application or which tools to select. Participation in external workshops and seminars often fails to translate into actual business improvements. Many cases see AI tools being trialed but stalled at the stage of implementation within the organization.
Wall 3: Distrust of External Vendors and the "Build and Leave" Risk
When consulting with IT consultants or development companies, there's often a lack of deep understanding of the company's business flow, leading to proposals for expensive packages or unnecessary systems. Many executives have experienced situations where major IT consultants, charging over ¥3 million per month, simply "deliver a proposal and leave," with nothing tangible remaining within the company after the project concludes. On the other hand, general consulting services are limited to one to two meetings per month for advice, failing to provide hands-on support in the field.
The gap between "expensive consultants" and "advisors who only consult" is precisely the position "Tonari no AX Promotion Manager" aims to fill.
Service Overview: The Full Picture of "Operational" Accompaniment Support
"Tonari no AX Promotion Manager" is an operational human resource support service where dedicated AI consultants strategically drive the "AX (AI Transformation)" of client companies, from mid-term AI utilization planning to implementation.
The key difference from typical consulting services is "operational involvement." AI personnel in this service work on-site with clients from one day a week to full commitment, actively engaging in tasks such as business analysis, AI strategy formulation, tool implementation, ROI management, and adoption support. The principle is to accompany clients until results are achieved, rather than simply "delivering a polished proposal and leaving.".
Furthermore, by promoting projects through a three-party collaboration system involving the client company (business knowledge/decision-making), AI personnel (AI expertise/practical execution), and Vision Base (quality control/product integration), we ensure a mechanism where results are sustained even if personnel change. The ultimate goal is to achieve a state of "self-sufficiency" where client companies can continuously improve their operations using AI independently.

Message from the Representative Director
Yoshitaka Miyazaki, Representative Director, Vision Base Inc.
"In our experience supporting over 80 companies in building AI agents, the most common question we heard was, 'Who will drive this initiative?' While AI technology is rapidly democratizing, there is a significant shortage of 'people' who can connect it to their company's business transformation.
"Tonari no AX Promotion Manager" fills that void. Unlike consultants who simply deliver proposals, we get involved on the ground, actively work on implementation, and accompany clients until results are achieved. We offer such professionals starting from ¥300,000 per month.
We want to provide this option to executives and promotion managers of non-IT companies who cannot afford major consulting firms but lack internal talent. We aim to help Japanese non-IT companies transform using AI as a weapon. We want to take that first step together.
The "Tonari no AI Series" is guided by the philosophy of providing one-stop AI solutions that support the daily operations of businesses. With the launch of "Tonari no AX Promotion Manager," we have established a system that can accelerate AX promotion through both human resource support and products.
