Store-Oriented AI Agent 'KUROKO AI' Exceeds 150 Adopting Stores in One Month Since Launch

ExpreTech Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo; President: Yamato Tokugawa), which provides AI-driven store marketing support services, announced that its store-oriented AI agent 'KUROKO AI' has surpassed 150 adopting stores within one month of its official release.

In recent years, besides Google and SNS searches, search and information-gathering behavior via generative AI has been rapidly expanding. However, many small and medium-sized stores face challenges in effectively implementing AEO, MEO, SNS operations, review responses, LINE delivery, and consistent communication.

'KUROKO AI' is a store-oriented AI agent built on the concept of 'Why not hire a highly talented AI employee for your store who works 24/7?' It analyzes store-specific marketing and competitor situations, proposing social media posts, review responses, and LINE distribution plans.

In the management dashboard, the company's own character 'KUROKO-kun' suggests the optimal strategy for each store, designed not just as a management tool but as an 'AI staff member that works alongside the store.'

Currently, it is being adopted in a wide range of industries, including restaurants, beauty salons, lodging facilities, car rentals, specialty purchase shops, handymen, and tourist facilities.

### Main Features of KUROKO AI - Support for MEO/AEO measures - Google Business Profile operation support - AI-driven post suggestions - Review response generation - Official LINE delivery support - Competitor analysis - Inbound-focused information dissemination support - Store-specific analysis dashboard

Further functional additions are currently being implemented.

The company will continue to support the growth of small and medium-sized stores through its AI agent business, with the mission: 'Delivering the true value of Japanese SMEs through AI technology and human execution.'
