Turning AI innovation
into real businesses.

Artivation is building a world where AI takes on the work people don’t want to do, so they can focus on what they truly want to do. To get there, we chose to be a company that keeps creating businesses.

Vision Statement
“You focus only on what you really want to do, create, and achieve for the best future
– and that’s what being a truly intelligent civilization is all about.
It’s about handing over all unwanted tasks to another entity.
What makes it happen is the innovation by artificial intelligence and I call it Artivation.
And I can’t think of anything more fantastic than achieving Artivation.”

– Ryosuke Nakada

Vision

To make humanity a truly intelligent
civilization through Artivation.

Making humanity a truly intelligent civilization through Artivation.

Truly Intelligent Civilization

A truly intelligent civilization
is one where people can focus
on what they truly want to do.

Artivation aims for a society where people are freed from tasks they don’t want to do and can put their energy into creating, taking on challenges and achieving. AI is the means to make that future real.

Unwanted Tasks

Hand unwanted work
to something else.

Entrust repetitive, draining, non-essential tasks to AI.

True Passions

Let people focus on
creating and challenging.

Spend energy on what you truly want to do, what you want to build and the future you want to reach.

Civilization

That state is
a truly intelligent civilization.

Direct human intelligence toward creating the future, not processing burdens.

Mission
  1. To replace all unwanted tasks with artificial intelligence.

    Replace all unwanted work with AI.

  2. To create environments for true passions.

    Create an environment where people can pursue their true passions.

Value
  1. Speed

    Ship before overthinking. Test fast, and once we’ve learned, change course without hesitation.

  2. Grit

    See it through. Stack up the unglamorous work, one piece at a time, until we reach the goal.

  3. Cross-boundary

    Think across industries, technologies and roles. Take a pattern proven in one place and apply it in the next.

What is Artivation

Artivation means
innovation through AI.

Artivation combines “Arti” from Artificial Intelligence with “vation” from Innovation. It’s not just about using AI — it’s a civilizational shift that gives people back what they should truly focus on.

Artificial Intelligence

Innovation

AI takes on the work people don’t want, and people focus on creating, challenging and achieving. Artivation puts that shift into practice as a business.

Strategy

Two growth engines,
running in parallel.

The work to be replaced extends in two directions: everyday operations common to many industries, and problems that can’t be solved without advanced technical expertise. Artivation tackles each with a separate engine. Neither depends on the other’s success — each is built to stand on its own as a business.

01

AAP

Bundle the business apps each industry needs into one package, and deliver it — including implementation — to small and mid-sized businesses.

What it expands
Industry breadth
How we win

New Ventures

Building, as a business, a world where people can focus on what they truly want to do.

The name Artivation carries our intent: to use innovation through AI to build a world where the work people don’t want can be handed to something else. AI is the means; the goal is a society where people can put their energy into creating, challenging and achieving.

We chose AAP as our first major business because the front lines of small and mid-sized businesses are where the most repetitive transcription, checking and communication remains. There are already plenty of AI tools. What’s missing is a form that lets people actually use them within their workflows. We build systems that carry each industry’s work through to completion, and we handle implementation together with our customers.

We are still a young company. That’s exactly why we start not with desk-bound assumptions, but by listening to real operations, one at a time. And alongside AAP, we will keep creating new businesses together with scientists and engineers.

History

Our journey

We started with AI product development, went through business validation in IoT, and arrived at our two current engines. This is a record of learning from validation and choosing again.

Artivation Corp. founded

Started our business by planning, building and releasing AI products.

AI Dictionary (now Artivation Dictionary) officially released

Released an AI dictionary app to support English learning.

Learning case published; featured in the Mainichi Shimbun

Published a learning case using AI Dictionary, and our work was featured in the newspaper.

Began business validation in IoT

Interviewed and ran validations with many companies in customer support and incident response for IoT businesses.

Toward two engines: AAP and New Ventures

Building on what we learned, we are pursuing industry-specific AI business packages and new venture creation.

The Future We See

Unwanted tasks
go to something else.
People go to creation and challenge.

The more AI spreads through society as a worker, the more people can put their energy into what they truly want to do. Artivation is implementing that shift as a business, one step at a time.

Intelligence for Humanity.
