Breaking Through the Walls of PoC: Free AI Consultation Launch by AI Storm

AI Storm Inc., previously known as Jexceed, has announced the start of a unique consultation service aimed at helping member companies of the MCEI Tokyo Association to navigate the often challenging Proof of Concept (PoC) stage in AI projects. Starting from November, this initiative will also be open to the first five non-member companies for free.

Addressing the AI Implementation Gap

In recent years, an increasing number of companies have been keen on exploring AI-driven new businesses. However, it's not uncommon for their efforts to stall due to various reasons. Feedback indicates that many enterprises find consultations with existing IT system firms to be unhelpful in advancing beyond the PoC phase. The main barriers include ambiguous success criteria, misjudgments regarding data quality and rights, and insufficient operational design concerning security and governance.

Aiming to bridge this gap, AI Storm will utilize the expertise of Chief Data Scientist Hiroyuki Shindo, who has a proven track record in spearheading AI projects for numerous companies both domestically and internationally. His role will involve providing actionable insights on how to effectively implement AI and strategies to ensure PoC success.

Consultation Overview

The service specifically targets member companies of the non-profit organization MCEI Tokyo, with additional priority for non-member companies, limited to five slots free of charge. Details regarding the service will be communicated separately to member companies.

Advisory by a Leading Expert

Hiroyuki Shindo will lead the consultations, focusing on three main areas:
1. Initial design support for AI implementation (including scope, framework, and roadmap).
2. Guidelines for PoC success, which include clarifying success criteria and ensuring data prerequisites are met.
3. Insights on how to engage with existing vendors and points for reevaluation.

Costs and Application

The consultations are free of charge, with five spots available for non-member companies on a first-come, first-served basis. The application period will close on December 26, 2025 (or when slots are filled).

Interested companies are encouraged to apply by contacting the designated email mentioned at the end of the announcement, with the subject line indicating interest in the AI consultation service. Due to potential high demand, applicants may need to adjust their schedules accordingly.

Who Should Apply?

This opportunity is ideal for companies that:

• - Are considering AI utilization in new business ventures but have yet to see results.
• - Have consulted existing vendors without making significant progress.
• - Have attempted PoCs but faced stagnation.

Even if your company does not fit these categories, feel free to seize this invaluable opportunity for a consultation with leading experts.
