AI Development in Osaka — Business AI Systems for Small & Mid-Sized Companies
We embed the latest 2026 technologies — the ChatGPT and Claude API, multimodal AI, agentic AI — into your everyday operations. Meeting-minutes automation, email reply assistance, document data extraction, internal-document RAG search — companies that adopt these report saving an average of 30–120 hours of work per month.
You don't need to pay tens of millions of yen to a large systems integrator, nor settle for generic SaaS. From small-scale operation at ¥30,000/month, to custom development with a ¥300,000 PoC, through full deployment at ¥800,000–1,500,000, we make staged proposals that fit the budget of a small or mid-sized business.
Do any of these challenges sound familiar?
- ▸"We want to put AI to work in our operations, but we don't know where to start."
- ▸"Our staff use ChatGPT personally, but we worry they might be entering confidential information."
- ▸"We want an AI tool built just for us, but every vendor quote is priced for large enterprises."
- ▸"We want to validate the impact quickly with a PoC (proof of concept) before committing to full deployment."
Three reasons clients choose Sugureru
1. Right-sized for SMEs — start from ¥300,000
A PoC (proof of concept) starts at 2 weeks and ¥300,000. You confirm the impact with a working prototype first, then move on to full deployment. Instead of the tens-of-millions-of-yen scale of large systems integrators, we take a staged approach that matches the budget of a small or mid-sized business.
2. Designed from real, hands-on operating experience
We run our own cross-border e-commerce business and have firsthand experience building AI into daily operations. The limits of LLMs, the structure of API usage costs, countermeasures against hallucinations — rather than pitching what's trendy, we design with the parts you only learn by actually running it in mind.
3. Based in Osaka — in-person consultations across the Kansai region
We visit clients in Osaka City, Kyoto, Kobe and Nara in person for consultations. By letting us see your operations "on the ground," we design AI that works in practice rather than in theory. Outside Kansai, we serve clients nationwide, fully remotely.
What AI development can do for you
Meeting-Minutes AI
Automatic transcription plus summarization from the audio of Zoom, Teams or in-person meetings. Owners, decisions and next actions are organized automatically. In one case, weekly meetings saw more than 20 hours of minute-taking eliminated each month.
Email Reply Assistance AI
For customer inquiry emails, it drafts replies by referencing past correspondence and internal manuals. A hybrid approach where a human does the final check keeps quality high while making response speed 2–3 times faster.
Document Data Extraction AI
Automatically extracts structured, tabular data from PDFs, scanned images and faxed documents. It wipes out manual entry of invoices, delivery notes and purchase orders, saving dozens of hours of work per month.
Business Writing Proofreading & Formatting AI
Automatically checks and polishes the text of internal documents, presentation decks and proposals in your company's tone and style. It lifts writing produced by newcomers or non-specialists up to veteran quality.
2026 TREND
Multimodal AI
The biggest trend of 2026: handling text, images, audio and video in a single model. "Meeting recording → minutes + slides," "automatic spec entry from an image," and other tasks that used to be separate are now automated end to end.
2026 TREND
Agentic AI
Automation of multi-step workflows such as "read the email → register it in the deal database → assign an owner → draft a reply." It is the core technology behind Gartner's forecast that "more than 80% of enterprises will be actively using GenAI by 2026."

How we work
-
01
Inquiry & consultation (1 week)
Get in touch through our contact form. We reply within 24 hours and hold a 30–60 minute consultation over Zoom or in person (in the Kansai region). We ask about your business challenges, the scope you want AI to solve, and your budget.
-
02
Proposal & estimate (1 week)
Based on the consultation, we propose a recommended implementation scope and an idea of the cost. We lay out the pros and cons of multiple options and decide the best choice for your company together.
-
03
PoC development (2–4 weeks)
We build a working prototype within the agreed scope. We verify it against your real data and real operations, and validate the impact with concrete numbers.
-
04
Full deployment & operation (4–10 weeks)
Based on the PoC results, we finish the work for full-scale operation. We also build out staff training, documentation, and a support structure for after go-live.
Use cases by industry
Here are some representative use cases clients in Osaka and the wider Kansai region actually come to us with.
- Manufacturing: extracting dimension data from drawings and specifications; automatically turning inspection results into reports
- Professional services (lawyers, tax accountants, administrative scriveners): AI search across past cases; generating contract drafts
- Retail & e-commerce: sentiment analysis of product reviews; automating first-line responses to inquiry emails
- Logistics & transport: digitizing delivery instructions; summarizing driver reports

Frequently asked questions
Can AI development handle any kind of business task?
If the task plays to what AI does best — reading, writing and summarizing text; extracting and structuring data; understanding images and audio — we can help regardless of your industry. During our initial consultation, we give you a candid assessment of whether AI will actually deliver results.
Can you integrate with our existing systems (kintone, Salesforce, etc.)?
Yes. We can integrate with most major systems via API. If you provide the API documentation for the system you want to connect to, we will clearly state feasibility and the expected effort in our proposal.
We are worried about entering confidential information into ChatGPT. What safeguards are there?
That concern is entirely valid. With enterprise LLM services such as Azure OpenAI or Amazon Bedrock, your input data is not used to train the model. For highly sensitive cases, an on-premises open-source LLM (such as Llama 3) is also an option.
Can you implement multimodal AI (image + audio + text)?
Yes. We build implementations using the latest multimodal LLMs such as GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 2.0. They deliver strong results in use cases like "meeting recording → minutes + draft slides," "product photo → automatic spec data entry," and "video → subtitles + summary + chapter splitting."
Can you also provide prompt-engineering training and staff education?
Yes. We offer prompt-engineering training for employees (2–4 hours / one-day course). We tailor each program to your business, including a practical prompt library for your workflows, internal ChatGPT usage policies, and training on countering hallucinations.
What does maintenance and operation look like after development?
We offer a monthly maintenance and operation plan (¥50,000–150,000/month). It covers LLM API cost management, ongoing improvement of model accuracy, and development of additional features.
Can we work with you from outside Osaka?
Yes, we serve clients nationwide. Everything from the initial consultation to delivery can be completed fully remotely. For the Kansai region, we also offer in-person visits.
