​

Why This Launch Matters?

 

According to a recent study by Boston Consulting Group, conducted with MIT Sloan Management Review:

• 35% of companies globally have implemented AI agents in just two years

• 44% plan to introduce them soon

• Adoption is progressing faster than generative AI did

 

In Japan, adoption is still emerging. Research from Yano Research Institute shows:

• Only 3.3% of companies actively use AI agents in 2025

• More than 60% are considering or interested in introducing them

 

This signals a major transformation opportunity especially in a country facing structural labor shortages.

 

From AI Tools to AI Teammates

 

PeopleX positions itself as a comprehensive AI HR solutions company. The launch builds on its existing services, including:

• PeopleX AI Interview: an AI conversational interview platform

• PeopleX AI Job-Review: an interactive AI role-play service

​

The mission: use AI to address recruitment bottlenecks, improve candidate experience, and help Japan tackle workforce shortages.
