The AI Practical Tools Complete Guide on Makuake
In an impressive achievement, the project titled "
AI Practical Tools Complete Guide 2026 Edition" has reached an astonishing funding rate of 998% on Makuake, with total backing nearly hitting 1 million yen. This initiative, spearheaded by the Japan AI Lab, promotes the empowering message: "Don’t just learn AI, use it."
This statement does not dismiss the importance of learning; instead, it encourages individuals to move beyond theoretical knowledge and actively engage with AI tools in their daily professional and personal lives. The project runs until September 16, 2026, at 10 PM, offering participants a chance to support it while securing useful resources for themselves.
The Response to the Project
The Japan AI Lab interprets the enthusiastic response as a reflection of the growing demand for structured knowledge around AI, alongside a desire for ongoing, trustworthy information that can keep pace with the rapidly evolving AI landscape. The book serves as a practical guide that thoroughly explains AI from foundational knowledge to actual tools applicable in the workplace, side jobs, and learning environments.
What to Expect from the Book
Featuring over 128 carefully selected AI tools categorized by function, the guide includes more than 158 illustrations and comic strips that clarify complex concepts—from fundamental principles to practical applications. It encompasses renowned AI technologies such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and NotebookLM, covering diverse areas such as image and video processing, sound, design, coding, marketing, and efficiency improvement.
The book not only introduces AI but also contextualizes its practical usage. Readers can expect insights on how to implement AI in real-world scenarios, including enhancing work efficiency, leveraging AI for side projects and online presence, and establishing a clear delineation of responsibilities between AI and human oversight.
Key Features of the Guide
- - Introduction to over 128 premium AI tools, organized by use.
- - A valuable mix of over 158 diagrams and comic illustrations that bridge understanding from basics to practice.
- - Coverage of a wide array of sectors, including professional use, side jobs, social media engagement, content production, education, and personal life applications.

Interweaving Print and Web Resources
Traditional books often become outdated as soon as they are printed. The focus of this project is to establish a dynamic link between print and web content. The book will be complemented by an online platform, "NaviBook.ai / AI Tool Directory," tailored for easy exploration of AI tools based on objectives or categories. Readers can utilize this resource to not only grasp foundational concepts from the book but also to discover, compare, and stay abreast of the latest advancements in AI technology.
