Background

'Bet AI Day' was first launched last year as a platform to embody LayerX's guiding principle of 'Bet AI' and share internal and external AI use cases and technical challenges.

AI is no longer just a supporting tool for work—it is becoming an entity capable of completing entire business operations. However, there are still few opportunities to concretely discuss 'what tasks are being delegated to AI, to what extent, and what outcomes have resulted.' The second edition of the event, themed 'Bet on the Future of Working with AI Agents,' will serve as a cross-functional forum to share the changes brought about when AI agents enter real-world operations. Leading speakers from various fields—including development, operations, security, and corporate functions—will bring their on-the-ground experiences and challenges to help advance the future of working with AI.

CTO Yuuki Matsumoto's Comment

The transformation brought by generative AI and LLMs is shifting from the stage of 'using' AI to the stage of AI 'working.' Our challenge is not only to enhance individual productivity but also to integrate AI agents as members of the organization, continuously transforming them into customer value.

To achieve this, LayerX has redesigned the entire enterprise to be AI-native—encompassing business processes, data, permissions, security, evaluation, cost management, and continuous improvement mechanisms. 'Bet AI Day 2026' is a platform to fully share the current state of these trials and errors, both in terms of outcomes and the underlying technical and implementation insights.

'How much can we trust AI agents with?' We will answer this question with our own practices. Let's move forward together toward a future of working with AI.
