AI Storm Signs Business Partnership Agreement with US NASDAQ-Listed Aurora Mobile

AI Storm Inc. (formerly Jexceed Inc., Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President & CEO Toshio Imai, Securities Code: 3719) announced on July 6, Reiwa 8, that it has entered into a business partnership agreement with Aurora Mobile Inc. (hereinafter "Aurora Mobile"), the Japanese subsidiary of US NASDAQ-listed Aurora Mobile Limited (NASDAQ: JG).

Through this business partnership, Aurora Mobile's AI products will be introduced to Japan Telesystem Inc. (hereinafter "NTS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AI Storm, and AI Storm will promote the business as its domestic market development partner.

Integrating AI into our own business and simultaneously expanding it within Japan. AI Storm views this partnership as an initiative that will significantly broaden the scope of its growth strategy.

◆ Overview of the Business Partnership

We will begin the introduction and verification of Aurora Mobile's AI products, "EngageLab" and "GPTBots," at NTS (call center business, EC-related BPO business), which became a wholly owned subsidiary on April 1, Reiwa 8. Concurrently, as the domestic partner for both products, we will drive Aurora Mobile's expansion in the Japanese market by taking charge of market development, sales, marketing activities, and pre- and post-implementation support.

The growth opportunities this partnership brings to AI Storm will expand in two major directions. One is the improvement of operational efficiency and business competitiveness by introducing Aurora Mobile's AI products into the on-site operations of our group. The other is the deployment of Aurora Mobile's products into the Japanese market, leveraging the extensive domestic network that AI Storm has cultivated through its diverse businesses. We believe that AI Storm, with its ability to propose products based on firsthand experience and its broad customer touchpoints across various industries, is uniquely positioned to drive this partnership forward in Japan.

◆ AI Products to be Introduced

The two products provided by Aurora Mobile that will be introduced and verified at NTS are:

"EngageLab" is a CX platform that operates multiple channels such as SMS, E-mail, LINE, and WhatsApp on a single platform, delivering messages to each customer at the optimal time. "GPTBots" is an AI agent platform for enterprises that enables no-code automation of inquiry response and business processes by integrating with internal knowledge and business workflows.

A key feature of Aurora Mobile is the ability to operate both products as an integrated system. By connecting delivery, response, training, and AI automation on a single data layer, there is no need to contract and integrate multiple tools individually. Furthermore, specialized teams with expertise in specific industries can design Proof of Concepts (PoC) in 2 to 4 weeks, enabling a short timeframe from requirements definition to operational launch, and visualizing results such as response rates and conversion rates on a single dashboard.

The integration capability, which allows for the operation of each function in conjunction on a single platform, is the greatest strength of Aurora Mobile's products, offering an advantage over traditional methods that combine multiple specialized tools.

◆ About Partner Aurora Mobile

Aurora Mobile Limited (NASDAQ: JG) is a global company established in 2011 and listed on the US NASDAQ in 2018, providing AI agent and messaging technologies. With messaging delivery technology, primarily mobile push notifications, as its core, it supports corporate communications on a global scale. According to the company, its achievements are as follows:

Established: 2011 (Listed on US NASDAQ in 2018) Monthly Active Users: 1.9 billion Number of Developers: 800,000 Message Delivery: Over 220 countries and regions

*Messaging Delivery Performance

In recent years, the company has expanded its business to solutions that combine this delivery infrastructure with AI execution capabilities through its AI agent platform "GPTBots." Its Japanese subsidiary, Aurora Mobile Inc., was established in March Reiwa 8, and AI Storm believes that its ability to support the deployment of this company, which possesses world-class technology, from its early stages of full-scale entry into the Japanese market as a partner demonstrates AI Storm's business momentum.

◆ Goals to be Achieved by the Partnership of the Two Companies

This business partnership aims not only to improve the operations of a single company but also to deliver world-class AI, with Japanese language support and a domestic support system, to address the common challenge of labor shortages faced by many Japanese companies.

The barriers to AI adoption include cost, technical complexity, and the anxiety of "not knowing where to start." The partnership between the two companies can lower the barrier to entry by combining products that can be used by non-engineers with AI Storm's practical knowledge gained from hands-on experience in the field. Our role is to make AI utilization accessible to all companies, not just a select few advanced ones, bringing it closer to becoming the norm for every business.

Looking beyond that, we envision a society where business operations are not constrained by labor shortages and are widely rooted. We are confident that the partnership between the two companies can contribute to improving the productivity of the entire Japanese service industry.

◆ Future Outlook

In April Reiwa 7, AI Storm Inc. changed its name from Jexceed Inc. to AI Storm Inc., making a significant shift to become a company centered on AI in its business operations. This partnership with Aurora Mobile is a concrete step in realizing the vision of integrating world-class AI into our own company and further expanding it into the Japanese market.

First, AI Storm will implement AI at NTS, transforming its labor-dependent business structure into one that grows with AI. The knowledge and results gained from this will be refined into an implementation model that aligns with Japanese business practices, and as Aurora Mobile's domestic partner, we will deliver it to companies nationwide facing similar challenges. We believe this cycle, starting with our own implementation and expanding domestically, will bring continuous revenue opportunities to AI Storm.

As a company that has "AI" in its name, AI Storm will lead this challenge and views this partnership as a step forward in advancing its growth strategy towards the goal of a market capitalization of 50 billion yen, moving forward steadily and powerfully.
