01 / AI MEDIA
Sharing what's happening in AI,
from where we build.
We run NODORI, a Japanese-language AI technology media. Every day it summarizes official announcements from AI companies in Japan and abroad, introduces notable open-source projects on GitHub, and publishes editorial features that compare and analyze multiple announcements. It is written for practitioners, by a team that builds with AI and uses it in its own sales operations.

02 / AI IN PRACTICE
We build the tools
we work with.
From sourcing to sales, shipping and customer support. Hub System, our in-house platform, uses the SKU as its backbone to connect each item’s history with the work around it — and we keep improving it together with AI as we use it every day.

Improve together with AI
AI helps draft item descriptions and replies. What we learn on the floor flows back into development, so the system keeps getting better.
AI, API and system development
We develop business systems that bring in AI and APIs, drawing on what we have learned building the tools we use ourselves.
Data collection and automation
We turn information gathering and repetitive routine work into systems, so people can spend their time on work that needs judgment.
Development and process improvement
Tell us about the challenges you face, and we will think together about what AI and development can do.
03 / OUR BUSINESS
Putting AI to work,
and sharpening it in the field.
Our e-commerce and reuse business is where we use AI in real operations and keep improving it. The problems we run into in our day-to-day selling and purchasing operations become in-house development work, done together with AI, and refined in daily use.

E-COMMERCE & REUSE
Every item, handled with care
all the way to the customer.
Online sales, e-commerce operations and purchasing of pre-owned goods, centered on watches and hobby collectibles. We handle every step ourselves — purchasing and sourcing, inspection, photography, sales, shipping and customer support — and use AI in that daily work to keep refining how we operate.

SALES & DELIVERY
Selling and shipping, built on hands-on experience.
Through our own online sales, including e-commerce in Japan, we handle listing, inventory, orders, packing, shipping and customer support ourselves every day — and that experience shapes the systems we build. For each product and brand, we check the permitted sales regions, channel requirements and other conditions before we handle it.
04 / FOR PARTNERS
Partnerships built
for the long term.
With manufacturers and wholesalers, we review product lines, trading terms and conditions of sale before we handle any item, and we value honest, long-term relationships. We also welcome inquiries about AI and system development and process improvement, grounded in our own sales operations.
