Japanese AI company turning shogi-grade deep learning into enterprise and consumer products

AI consulting, data analytics and DX support delivered to financial institutions and enterprises, including the HEROZ ASK and BLOOMWORKS offerings.

Corporate AI training programs that help client teams build their own machine learning capability.
An agentic analytics platform that turns questions into governed, trusted answers
Ask a question in plain language and get a reasoned answer with the SQL, charts and tables behind it, available in the Hex workspace, in Slack and from developer tools.
Write SQL, Python and R side by side in one project, then turn cells into interactive, parameterised data apps and dashboards without a separate BI authoring tool.
Centralise metrics, semantics and corporate definitions so answers stay consistent, and see exactly where the agent lacked grounding so you can fix it.
Run graded, rubric-based test suites against the agent to measure answer quality and catch regressions as your data and context evolve.
