About "株式会社AX"
What is 株式会社AX?
株式会社AX (AX Inc.) is a Fukuoka-based AI consulting company that combines AI training with AI agent development and supports companies until AI automation takes hold in day-to-day work. Its two pillars are the corporate AI training program "AX CAMP" and the AI agent / workflow development service "AX BUILD".
CEO Bunta Ishiwata has stated that, while running an advertising agency, he introduced AI agents and replaced more than 47,000 hours of the company's own work per year with AI. As of October 2026, a press release states that AX "supports more than 150 companies". The core model is to teach employees how to build AI agents and then accompany them through actual automation as an "AI advisor". Small businesses and small teams are also eligible.
Note that the company name is "株式会社AX", not "AX株式会社". To avoid confusion with similarly named companies, everything on this page is based on the official site a-x.inc and the company's own press releases.

Who it suits and who it doesn't
Good fit
- Companies that want employees to build AI agents themselves and run automation internally
- Companies with many routine PC tasks such as documents, research, ad operations and inquiry handling
- Small companies, or those that want to start with one or a few people (training from one person)
- Companies that want more than training and want to track results in numbers over 6–12 months of support
Not a good fit
- Companies that require on-premises deployment (AX states it is "basically cloud-based")
- Companies that may want to try briefly and stop midway (mid-term cancellation is generally not allowed)
- Companies seeking custom machine learning models such as production-line image analysis or demand forecasting (the official scope centers on generative-AI-based business automation)
