neoAI Inc. is a Japanese startup specializing in generative AI, originating from the University of Tokyo's Matsuo Lab. The company was co-founded in August 2022 by Shunsuke Chiba (CEO) and Koshiro Terasawa (COO) while they were both engineering students at the University of Tokyo. The founders' background in advanced AI research, including large language models (LLMs) and image generation, forms the technical foundation of the company. Technical Advisor Yutaka Matsuo, a professor at the University of Tokyo specializing in artificial intelligence and web mining, also supports the company.
The firm develops and provides AI solutions and products for enterprise clients. Its business model is twofold: a corporate AI solutions division that offers end-to-end consulting from problem identification to AI development and implementation, and an AI products division. A key product is "neoAI Chat," a SaaS platform that allows companies to build and deploy bespoke AI agents and chatbots by connecting their internal data with LLMs like GPT-4. This platform features Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology to enhance accuracy and can be deployed in secure on-premise or private cloud environments to meet strict enterprise security policies. The company serves major Japanese corporations, including Japan Post Bank, Orix, Kyushu Electric Power, and JA Aichi Shinren. Revenue is generated through these enterprise-focused AI solutions and SaaS offerings.
neoAI has established a research and development arm, neoAI Research, to maintain its position at the forefront of AI technology, focusing on areas like Japanese LLM development and AI Agent workflows. The company has secured approximately ¥56 million in funding from investors including the PKSHA Algorithm 2 Fund and Yutaka Matsuo. It has also entered into business and technical partnerships with companies like Neojapan and Fujifilm Business Innovation to expand its service delivery.
