ExaWizards Inc. is a Japanese company established in February 2016 that focuses on resolving societal issues through the development and implementation of Artificial Intelligence services. The company was founded as ExaIntelligence by Makoto Haruta, former chairman of DeNA Co., Ltd. In 2017, it merged with Digital Sensation, a company led by Ko Ishiyama, who was the former head of Recruit's AI research institute. Following the merger, Ko Ishiyama became the President, and Makoto Haruta took the role of CEO. ExaWizards was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Mothers market in December 2021.
The company's business model is structured around two main segments: the AI Platform business and the AI Products business. The AI Platform division, centered on its 'exaBase' platform, undertakes over 250 AI/DX projects annually for clients across various industries. This segment offers end-to-end services, from consulting and strategic planning to AI algorithm development, design, and operation, to drive digital transformation for corporate clients. The AI Products business develops and provides general-purpose AI software to address common industry and social challenges identified through its platform activities. Key products include 'exaBase Generative AI,' which allows companies to securely use technologies like GPT-4, and 'exaBase DX Assessment & Learning' for discovering and training digital talent. The company has also developed specialized solutions for the healthcare sector, such as the 'CareWiz' series for nursing care support and 'ExaMD' for developing AI-based medical devices.
ExaWizards targets a wide range of industries, including finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and human resources, helping them tackle issues like labor shortages and an aging society. The company generates revenue through both project-based consulting and development in its AI Platform business and through the sale of its SaaS-based AI products. A significant part of its strategy involves a cyclical model where insights and algorithms from individual client projects are used to create scalable, general-purpose products. The company also engages in partnerships to expand its reach, such as a collaboration with the Kansai Electric Power Group to optimize grid storage battery operations using AI.
