We help Japanese SMBs turn everyday repetitive work into hours saved — starting with a short initial diagnostic, with no access to your systems. Visible results in 2–4 weeks.
Tried AI, but nothing actually changed?
You're not alone. Most teams sign up for an AI tool and find their daily work looks exactly the same — because the tool was never connected to how the work really happens. That's the gap we close.
10–100 employees, an owner-accessible decision-maker, and repetitive text-heavy work — that's the sweet spot.
If your work involves sensitive client data, a first automation usually isn't the right starting point — but we're glad to talk about where you could introduce us to clients who'd be a good fit, or where a narrower, lower-risk project might work for you directly.
Many providers begin with a tool recommendation. We first identify where AI actually fits your business — so you invest in what pays back, not in hype.
Every recommendation is tied to hours saved each month. If it won't earn its keep, we don't build it.
Not a chatbot bolted on the side — automation that runs inside the tools your team already uses every day.
We design around your privacy and data-residency needs from day one. Your information doesn't have to leave Japan.
Years of hands-on build experience sit behind every project. Our recommendations are grounded in practical engineering, not presentation-only advice.
Many projects qualify for government support — we'll help you check.
Each step is a real deliverable — not a sales call in disguise.
A self-serve snapshot of where automation could help — no system access.
Expert-observed diagnosis — costed, prioritized plan with subsidy-fit assessed.
We implement your first automation in weeks and prove the time saved.
We manage, refine, and expand it as your needs grow.
Outcomes, not tool names — what matters is the result, not what's running behind it.
A cheap add-on automates the easy 10% — and leaves the work that actually eats your team's day untouched. Worse, without a diagnosis it's easy to automate the wrong thing. We start by finding where the real time goes, build automation that works inside your actual systems, keep a person in control of every output, and keep your data where it belongs. You pay a little more than a template — and get something that genuinely changes your day, not just a demo that impresses once.
Only about 1 in 7 small businesses in Japan has adopted AI — and most say they simply don't know where to start.
Japan's labor shortage isn't easing. For many SMBs, automation is becoming survival, not luxury.
The payoff is concrete: a single repetitive task — like reading and entering order documents — can drop from 15 minutes to 1.
Directional figures — confirm current sourcing before publishing.
Worried about cost? The government will often cover a large share of an eligible project. We'll help you find out if you qualify — so the question becomes which automation to start with, not whether you can afford one.
Up to ¥4.5M, at roughly half the eligible cost (up to two-thirds for businesses near minimum wage), including up to two years of cloud fees.
This consulting track answers “where can automation save team time.” When the answer becomes a build project, it can hand off cleanly to AGAMI's Research & Prototyping Lab. If the real issue is product or customer value rather than internal workflow, the Product & Service Potential track is the better fit.
No system access, no commitment — just a clear read on where you could win back time.
