PeopleX Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daichi Tachibana; hereinafter referred to as "Our Company"), a comprehensive AI company solving issues in HR and sales domains, has begun a business partnership with hacomono Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kenichi Hasuda; hereinafter referred to as "hacomono"), a provider of the all-in-one management system "hacomono" for wellness and sports facilities.

Through this partnership, our dialogue-based AI role-playing service "PeopleX AI Role-Play" will be offered as OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) and is planned to be provided under the brand name "Setsutore" (AI Customer Service Training) by hacomono. We will provide a practical human resource development environment utilizing the latest AI technology to wellness operators, including fitness clubs and sports schools.

Background

In recent years, the wellness market is predicted to grow significantly due to the aging population, increasing lifestyle-related diseases, and diversification of values, leading to increased attention on extending healthy life expectancy, mental health, and well-being. The fusion with technology is also accelerating market growth.

On the other hand, the training of trainers and staff has become an urgent issue on the front lines. While high hospitality that caters to the individual needs of each customer is required, a severe labor shortage continues to make it difficult to secure sufficient training time. Furthermore, there are many operators who find it challenging to maintain uniform and high-quality service across the organization, as teaching content and quality can vary depending on the instructor.

To address these challenges, Our Company, with its track record in developing and providing "AI Role-Play," and hacomono, which supports the transformation of real stores and facilities in the wellness industry, have combined their expertise to initiate this partnership.

Details and Significance of the Partnership

In this partnership, "AI Role-Play," developed by Our Company, will be deployed as "Setsutore" (AI Customer Service Training) by hacomono and provided to hacomono's customers, such as fitness clubs, sports schools, and public sports facilities.

* The release date is currently under adjustment. hacomono will announce details once they are finalized.

Practical Learning Environment:

Staff at adopting facilities can train their customer service skills and customer response capabilities 24/7 through role-playing with an AI trainer.

Standardization of Education:

AI standardizes educational content that was previously dependent on the experience and skills of instructors, leading to improved service quality common across the entire organization.

Contribution to Business Growth:

Beyond mere operational efficiency, we strongly support the improvement of customer satisfaction and business growth for fitness operators through enhanced quality of human resource development.

Trial Campaign

To commemorate the start of this partnership, we will be holding a trial campaign. Trial tickets, allowing free experience of the AI customer service training "Setsutore" for a certain period, will be distributed to visitors of the hacomono booth at "SPORTEC" starting on July 8, 2026 (Wed). We encourage you to visit.
