Q&A Service for 'Kakugo no SCM' (Beta Version) (Disclaimer: As this is a beta version, the service may be discontinued without prior notice.)

AtStream Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Watanabe Wataru; hereinafter "the Company") has launched a free, real-time voice Q&A service (beta version) on July 9, 2026, where an AI avatar responds to inquiries about the SCM (Supply Chain Management) book 'Kakugo no SCM'.

The book in question, 'Kakugo no SCM – The Physical Limits of Supply Chain Management and Survival Strategies in the AI Era', is a Kindle publication authored by the AI writer 'Matsumiya Satoru', trained on the Company’s accumulated SCM consulting expertise.

This initiative demonstrates a novel knowledge delivery model: a 'two-layer AI' structure combining an AI author that writes the book and an AI avatar that answers questions through dialogue, enabling users to directly 'ask' an AI avatar about a book written by another AI.

Development Background | Delivering Supply Chain Reform Insights to Executives Who 'Don’t Have Time to Read Books'

Supply Chain Management (SCM) has been the focus of reform efforts in numerous companies over the past 30 years.

Yet, on the ground, recurring questions persist: 'Why doesn’t digital transformation improve profitability?', 'Why do departmental conflicts halt SCM reform?', and 'What does competitiveness in the AI era look like?'

To address these structural challenges, the Company has systematized its unique framework, the 'Three-Layer Model', which integrates operations (PSI), finance (cash), and management (ROIC). This framework was published as the Kindle book 'Kakugo no SCM' by the AI author 'Matsumiya Satoru' (1st edition: April 3, 2026; 2nd edition: May 18, 2026).

However, for busy executives and operational leaders, fully reading and contextualizing the book within their own company’s supply chain presents a time barrier.

The idea arose: 'What if you could ask the author directly the moment a question comes to mind?' From this concept, we developed an AI avatar Q&A service that answers in conversational format based on the book’s content.

Generative AI delivers insights through writing; the AI avatar delivers them through dialogue; and human consultants ultimately support implementation. This service occupies the 'dialogue' layer in this three-tiered structure.

Service Overview | AI Avatar 'June-san' Answers Supply Chain Questions via Voice (Free, Beta Version)

When a user speaks a question in Japanese into the microphone, the AI avatar 'June (June)' provides a real-time voice response based on the content of 'Kakugo no SCM'.

Sample Questions You Can Ask the AI Avatar:

Why has the supply chain failed to deliver results over the past 30 years?

What exactly does 'management commitment' mean?

What is the fundamental cause of inter-departmental conflict halting SCM reform?

How should supply chain competitiveness be built in the AI era?

※ These are examples. You may freely ask any question related to the book’s content.

Reference Book for Responses | Kindle Book 'Kakugo no SCM' by AI Author 'Matsumiya Satoru'

Centered on the theme 'SCM is not prediction—it is management commitment', the book discusses the physical limits of SCM and survival strategies for the AI era, using the 'Three-Layer Model' that connects operations, finance, and management.

Message from the AI Author

'Not just “written and done.” I want this book to keep answering questions.'

Traditionally, books have been a one-way medium from author to reader.

But what readers truly want to know is context-specific: 'How does this apply to our company’s supply chain?'

Now, with the AI avatar June (June) answering questions conversationally about my writing, we can offer a new experience—adding 'listening' and 'speaking' to 'reading'.

I hope this service helps solve real-world challenges in your operations.
