Sapeet: A Decade of Progress in AI Implementation

Introduction
Founded in 2016, Sapeet has reached a significant milestone, celebrating its 10th anniversary on March 9, 2026. Unlike many technology companies that often chase merely technological advancement, Sapeet remains focused on practical applications of AI in real-world scenarios. The journey began in an era when AI was yet to gain mainstream traction, and since then, Sapeet has continually pushed the boundaries of innovation and functionality in machine learning and image analysis. The company has dedicated itself to identifying the core challenges faced by clients and facilitating AI-human collaboration to produce tangible results in business environments.

==The Past Ten Years: Establishing Unique Algorithms and Expanding Business Areas
Sapeet’s decade-long journey has been characterized by its commitment to applying proprietary AI technology in workplaces that demand high expertise and producing significant results.

• - 2016-Present: Foundation of 3D Algorithms and AI Integration

Sapeet launched by developing technologies that leverage AI and 3D algorithms to estimate body dimensions and shapes from full-length photos and body type surveys, catering specifically to the apparel industry. Since its establishment, the company has persistently focused on R&D within AI technologies.

• - 2019-Present: Strengthening AI Solutions and Accumulating Insights

In partnership with PKSHA Technology Group, Sapeet enhanced its foundation for R&D and business development in AI. The goal evolved into developing algorithms that embody their mission of “scientific understanding of people and creating supportive solutions.”

• - 2020-Present: Implementation of AI SaaS and Expansion into Wellness

With the launch of the AI posture analysis system, "Karti Shisei Karte," users can analyze their physical conditions accurately using just an iPad. This system also incorporates insights from veteran staff, thereby amplifying customer service efficacy in retail environments. This product served as a catalyst for expanding their AI applications within the wellness sector, which ultimately fostered the growth of the "Karti" product series.

• - 2021-Present: Development of Communication Algorithms

Drawing from the extensive experience gained through various digital transformations (DX), Sapeet expanded its analysis focus from physical attributes to verbal and written interactions. This led to the creation of unique communication algorithms aimed at standardizing customer service quality across broader retail and real estate sectors.

• - 2024-Present: Listing on Tokyo Stock Exchange and Launch of Expert AI

Sapeet is set to list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market. It has outlined the value of "Expert AI," enhancing the unique know-how of companies. By merging core analytical techniques developed over the years with generative AI technologies, Sapeet is accelerating the development of AI services that directly correlate to business performance, such as the AI role-playing service, "SAPI Role Play" (formerly "Karti Role Play"), and AI sales agents.

• - 2026-Present: Launch of SAPEET AX and Support for Organizational Transformation

The launch of the "SAPEET AX" method signifies a new phase, focusing on integrating unique industry knowledge and AI to transform organizational structures and drive business results, surpassing mere efficiency improvements.

Looking Ahead: Creating Competitive Advantage thru Business Foundations and Human Resources
Sapeet's exploration of AI service development and societal implementation over the past ten years reveals insights about the factors influencing the effectiveness of AI adoption. It isn’t solely about the technology; the structure of business operations and the qualities of the personnel involved play crucial roles.

• - Creating Business Value in the AI Era

Organizations that integrate both explicit and tacit knowledge are better positioned to support decision-making and execution effectively. Through AI and data, Sapeet refines the quality of judgments and actions, producing unparalleled customer value.

• - Cultivating Human Resources for Value Creation in the AI Era

Successful personnel will focus not on merely providing answers but on defining the essential questions that need addressing. They must adapt proactively to changes rather than stick to past success stories while also valuing the unique challenges of a real-world context that comes with AI advancements.

Conclusion
Sapeet recognizes that true competitive advantage arises not from introducing AI alone but from fostering an environment where AI partners with human potential. It aims to find individuals who embrace the uncharted challenges of customer problem-solving in our increasingly unpredictable world, propelling Sapeet into its next decade of innovation and AI collaboration.
