New AI-Enhanced 'ASTERIA Warp' Version Elevates Data Utilization: AI Automatically Generates Data Integration Flows from Natural Language Instructions

ASTERIA Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoichiro Hirano; Stock Code: 3853; hereinafter 'ASTERIA') announces the release of a new version of its 'ASTERIA Warp' (hereinafter 'Warp') series, which has maintained the No.1 market share in Japan's enterprise application integration (EAI/ESB) software market for 19 consecutive years, starting August 25 (Note).

Note: There are no changes to the product lineup or pricing with this version update.

Background of the New Version Release

In recent years, AI has shifted from being a mere auxiliary tool to becoming an essential business infrastructure. As a result, building data integration platforms for AI—connecting data scattered across internal and external sources—has become an urgent priority. However, a major challenge remains the shortage of skilled personnel capable of designing and developing data integration solutions. To address this issue, the new version enhances AI functionality from two perspectives: 'making data integration easier with AI' and 'simplifying AI utilization in conjunction with internal systems.'

Warp has previously enabled companies to automate and streamline operations by connecting internal systems and cloud-based data through no-code operations, simply by dragging and dropping icons to create workflows. Over 10,000 companies have benefited from this approach. The new version now adds AI capabilities, enabling the automatic generation of required data integration flows. Additionally, expanded functionality in the Generative AI Adapter makes it easier to apply AI across diverse business operations.

Furthermore, to prepare for the anticipated widespread adoption of stablecoins, the new version includes the 'JPYC Gateway Adapter,' supporting financial digital transformation (DX) in the era of AI agents.

New Features in the Updated Version

The new version introduces two features to simplify data integration with AI: 'AI Flow Creation' and 'AI Chatbot.' Additionally, the functionality of the 'Generative AI Adapter' has been enhanced to make AI integration with internal systems even easier.

To meet increasingly diverse user needs, a new 'Browser-Based Flow Designer' is also being launched, allowing users to design and edit data integration flows directly in a web browser. The browser version requires no software installation—users can begin building integration flows immediately upon opening a browser. This eliminates the need for device-specific installations and updates, lowering the barrier to entry and promoting Warp adoption beyond IT departments into business units.

'AI Flow Creation,' 'AI Chatbot,' and 'Browser-Based Flow Designer' are being released in beta.

These enhancements enable the development and operation of business-aligned data integration platforms regardless of development experience. They significantly reduce development effort while advancing business efficiency and process sophistication through AI utilization.

Future Development of Warp Business

Warp has supported operational efficiency across diverse industries by enabling no-code integration with over 100 tools and systems, even without programming knowledge. With enhancements like the new AI features, Warp now provides an environment where non-engineers can easily build and operate advanced data integration platforms, contributing to alleviating the growing shortage of IT talent.

Moving forward, ASTERIA will continue to support users' business transformation by adapting to cutting-edge technologies such as AI and stablecoins, positioning Warp as an essential data integration platform for the future.
