University of Tokyo AI Startup DataPrism Technologies Releases AI Agent Function for Land Search SaaS "Prime Potential"

DataPrism Technologies, an AI startup originating from the University of Tokyo that promotes DX for corporations using advanced AI and geospatial information technology (Headquarters: Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo; CEO: Keisuke Hori; hereinafter "the Company"), has released an AI agent function for its SaaS "Prime Potential" (hereinafter "Prime Potential"), which supports the search for land for solar power generation and grid-connected storage batteries. This function allows users to search for candidate sites that meet their criteria using natural language. Concurrently, the service, previously offered as the "Power Plant Site Suitability Assessment System," will be rebranded as "Prime Potential."

Prime Potential is a platform that integrates data necessary for searching land for solar and storage battery projects onto a single map. In response to natural language instructions, AI proposes suitable sites that meet the specified criteria across a wide area. The new AI agent function shifts the land search paradigm from the conventional method of users comprehensively searching the map themselves to a method where users conduct detailed investigations of promising sites proposed by AI.

Background

Developing renewable energy power plants requires cross-referencing a wide range of judgment factors, including agricultural land classification, grid capacity, hazards, and road access, from the site search to initial assessment stages. However, this information is often scattered across multiple maps, documents, and tools. As the number of candidate sites increases, the workload for cross-referencing and comparing these factors tends to grow, presenting practical difficulties.

The Company has identified the challenges in searching for renewable energy land as follows:

To solve these challenges, the Company has been developing and providing services to support land searches for renewable energy operators. This service is now being rebranded as "Prime Potential," and a new AI agent function that proposes candidate sites meeting specific criteria has been released. By replacing the task of investigating each site individually with AI-generated proposals, land searches will be made more efficient, supporting the discovery of promising sites in areas that were previously unexamined.

Features of Prime Potential

Prime Potential integrates data necessary for land assessment, such as agricultural land, grid capacity, solar irradiance, hazards, and road access, onto a single map. Users can simply speak their criteria to receive proposals for candidate sites that match their needs, without needing to manipulate maps or filters. By specifying an area, multiple candidates can be extracted, expanding the search to areas that were previously beyond reach.

New Function: AI Agent that Proposes Land Matching Criteria

In traditional land searches, users had to comprehensively review a wide area by operating maps and filters, investigating potential sites one by one. The newly released AI agent function allows users to simply communicate the desired land conditions through dialogue, and the AI will propose candidate sites that meet these conditions, along with the reasoning. Users are freed from comprehensive searching and can focus on detailed investigation of the proposed promising sites. This expands the searchable range to areas that were previously unexamined, leading to increased efficiency in land searches and expanded business opportunities.

Main Data Handled by Prime Potential

Data necessary for land assessment is consolidated onto a single map, allowing for filtering of suitable land by combining various criteria rather than viewing them individually. The data handled is continuously expanded based on on-site requests.

Future Development

Along with expanding the provision of Prime Potential, the Company aims to enhance its value as an information infrastructure supporting everything from land search to assessment and project management. By leveraging AI and geospatial information technology, we will continue to expand functions that support practical decision-making, assisting renewable energy operators in streamlining their land searches and accelerating decision-making.

Furthermore, the Company aims to broaden the scope of Prime Potential beyond land searches for solar and storage batteries to encompass general site selection for infrastructure development where land and power constraints significantly influence business decisions, such as for data centers and self-consumption solar power.

By integrating data related to land and power and developing it into a platform where AI proposes optimal locations, we will contribute to accelerating energy and infrastructure development for a decarbonized society.
