alt Inc. (https://alt.ai/en/), the Japan-based developer and distributor of Personal Artificial Intelligence (P.A.I.®️) and AI clone technology (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kazutaka Yonekura), is pleased to announce the beginning of a collaboration with Databricks (head office: San Francisco, California, USA), a data & AI company, with the aim of structuring data for enterprises and accelerating AI/DX based on that data.
This collaboration is an initiative to leverage the strengths of both companies: alt’s AI technologies including deep learning, large language models, and speech recognition, as well as AI products that enable DX; and Databricks' data structuring know-how and data intelligence platform. Together, we’ll support organizations of all sizes in structuring their data, develop AI/DX solutions based on that data, and provide a variety of services that enable Japanese companies to implement “AI in action.”
Background of collaboration
alt sees Japan—which faces the twin issues of a declining workforce and labor productivity improvement—as a perfect test field for pioneering the use of essential AI in the world. We have already set a goal of replacing 50 million workers with AI by 2030* and are working on a number of AI solutions.
As we engage in dialogue with various companies and organizations, we’ve learned that the data (lesson-learned data, manuals, veteran know-how, etc.) that Japanese companies have accumulated to date is highly valuable compared to global data; however, the ability to collect, organize, and structure data to convert this data into AI is still in its infancy.

Through this collaboration with Databricks, we intend to provide essential solutions that work backwards from the "transformation of corporate AI" into Japanese companies, thereby accelerating the improvement of labor productivity in Japanese companies and, ultimately, the replacement of current operations with AI.
