Business problems it solves
About "Laboro.AI"
What is Laboro.AI?
Laboro.AI is an AI company that builds made-to-order AI for each client's problems ("custom AI development") and provides consulting for adopting it. It is run by Laboro.AI Inc. (Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market, code 5586). It targets "complex problems specific to each company" that packaged AI cannot easily handle, and officially says it focuses on "value-up AI themes" that lead to new businesses and business model transformation.
It uses its own method, "Solution Design," which drives projects from both business and AI development perspectives, and supports clients end to end from planning to post-implementation improvement. Its main areas are optimization in physical industries such as manufacturing and construction, and purpose-built AI agents and generative AI. It serves corporate clients only, and companies can consult even without AI knowledge.
Engagement overview
How the engagement proceeds
The flow below is drawn from the official FAQ. Rather than starting with large-scale development, the company uses a PoC to confirm "whether this data can solve the problem" before moving to full development.
Consultation and rough proposal
Hear the issues and propose AI possibilities. Free in principle
PoC
Often about 2–3 months. Agree on the "practical threshold"
Full development
From 1 month. System integration and production readiness
Operation and maintenance
Maintain model accuracy through retraining and algorithm revisions
Source: Laboro.AI "FAQ." Projects can end after the PoC, and if accuracy falls short the company proposes alternative approaches or revised targets.
Even when data is scarce or not yet accumulated, support starts from defining data, planning how to collect it, and annotation. On-premises integration is also supported. Constant server and infrastructure monitoring and night-time emergency response are generally left to the system vendor the client already works with.
Service menu
01Advisory (before development)
The company says supporting the stage before AI development is one of its features.
- AI utilization advisory — Vision, strategy and adoption roadmaps, consulting for operation
- Technical advisory — Advice on AI systems being introduced, validation of in-house AI
02Core areas of custom AI development
Main areas developed to order.
- Optimization — Finds optimal solutions under countless constraints, mainly in physical industries such as manufacturing and construction
- AI agents / generative AI — Purpose-built AI agents for each business. Has a technical base for multi-agent configurations and validates with agile development
- R&D support — Support in research and development (listed as coming soon)
- Other AI solutions — Image, audio, natural language, reinforcement learning and more
03Support after implementation
Support so the work does not end once the AI is built.
- Business process redesign — Support extending to reviewing workflows and redesigning organizational structures
- Maintenance — Centered on maintenance that needs machine learning expertise, such as retraining and algorithm revisions
04Methods and products
The company's own ideas behind how it works.
- Solution Design — A methodology that fuses business and development perspectives while adjusting goals, requirements and approaches
- Oscillating management — A method for managing uncertainty in both "what to do" and "how to do it" at the same time
- Mirai Research — A market research service using AI simulation
Pricing
Pricing is not disclosed (individual quote). The company says "costs vary with the difficulty of the problem, the state of data preparation and the required functions" (as of October 2026). No reference amounts are published, but its approach to costs is public as follows.
| Item | Official explanation |
|---|---|
| Consultation and rough proposal | The first meeting and a rough proposal are free in principle |
| PoC and full development | A detailed quote is presented and a contract signed when moving to data validation, PoC or full development |
| Monthly fees after rollout | None in principle. The developed AI is basically delivered to the client. Server and cloud fees are paid by the client directly to the provider |
| Rights to deliverables | Copyright of deliverables belongs to the client in principle. General-purpose modules belong to Laboro.AI |

- OMRON — A design code generation AI for PLCs that advances and automates control designers' coding
- Advertising and marketing — Automatic generation of initial planning proposals with AI agents
02Optimization
Development that derives plans from complex combinations of conditions.
- Transportation company — Staffing and shift optimization that considers laws, regulations and personal circumstances
- Construction and civil engineering — Optimization of construction plans for civil works
03Image and data analysis
Development that automates on-site judgment.
- Major house builder — Housing plan proposals that uncover customers' latent needs
- Manufacturing and infrastructure — Detecting deterioration in infrastructure equipment, visual inspection in defense equipment manufacturing
The official AI agent / generative AI page lists client comments such as "Laboro.AI was the only one that thought it through with us when it was unclear whether it could be done."
Who it suits and who it may not
Good fit
- Companies that want made-to-order solutions for problems packaged AI cannot solve
- Companies in manufacturing, construction and similar fields that want to optimize plans or staffing
- Companies that want to confirm feasibility with a PoC before full development, and want to own the developed AI as an asset
May not fit
- Companies that only need to distribute an off-the-shelf generative AI tool company-wide
- Companies whose main goal is AI training for employees (no training menu is listed officially)
- Sole proprietors and individuals (corporations only)
