JPI Seminar: How to Create Winning Proposals with AI

On March 12, 2026, JPI (Japan Planning Institute) is hosting a compelling seminar titled "How to Create Winning Proposals in Collaboration with AI". This event will be led by the esteemed producer and representative director of Academic Resource Guide Co., Mr. Makoto Okamoto. The focus will be on practical approaches to utilizing AI as a virtual reviewer to create effective and stand-out proposals that resonate with various stakeholders.

Seminar Overview

In the realm of architectural proposals, the key to evaluating creativity lies in the "thorough objectivity." This seminar will provide attendees with insights based on the extensive experiences of Academic Resource Guide (ARG) in developing various public facilities such as libraries. Mr. Okamoto will delve into actionable strategies for leveraging AI—not merely as a writing assistant but as a cold, rational “virtual reviewer” to eliminate subjectivity and bias from the proposal-making process.

Participants will understand how to strictly align their proposals with the required standards and generate sharp anticipated questions for reviewers. Additionally, the seminar promises to impart methodologies that can enhance proposal-making capabilities regardless of the firm’s size. Here’s a closer look at the seminar agenda:
