Synlai and US-based CueWorker Inc. Announce Strategic Partnership for AI Development Stack

Making it possible to build – Wider and Deeper: Expanding Manufacturing in the AI Era Through Strategic Partnership

Synlai Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Satoru Takada) announced on May 19, 2026, the signing of a strategic partnership agreement with CueWorker Inc. (Headquarters: California, USA).

Through this partnership, Synlai's autonomous development SaaS 'Navi' and CueWorker Inc.'s AI-accompanied worker platform 'CueWorker' will be integrated to build an end-to-end AI development stack that supports everything 'from idea to completion and operation.' The integration features on Navi and the full-scale launch of the CueWorker Japan region (cueworker.jp) are planned for June 2026, with further details to be announced later.

1. Background of the Partnership: Taking the Next Step from 'Wanting to Build' to 'Able to Build'

In February 2026, Synlai launched 'Navi,' a SaaS where AI autonomously navigates development, under the slogan 'Turning "Wanting to Build" into "Able to Build".' Since then, it has provided environments for individuals and teams without programming experience to participate in full-scale software development through AI navigation.

However, the areas that cannot be fully reached by AI automated code generation alone have also become clear. For example, institutional knowledge unique to the Japanese market (such as the invoice system and the Electronic Record Retention Law), complex business judgments, and continuous post-completion improvement—these are currently difficult areas for AI alone.

To bridge this 'boundary between AI and humans,' Synlai chose CueWorker Inc. as a strategic partner.

2. Overview of the Partnership

Partnership Type: Strategic business alliance

Date of Signing: May 19, 2026

Parties: Synlai Inc. (Japan) / CueWorker Inc. (California, USA)

Purpose: Integration of an autonomous AI development SaaS with an AI-accompanied worker platform, and the expansion of CueWorker in the Japanese market

Areas of Collaboration: Product integration (CueWorker outsourcing function on Navi), operation of the Japan region (operated by Synlai under license), and joint marketing

3. About Both Companies' Services

Navi (Operated by Synlai Inc.)

Navi (synlai.net) is an autonomous development SaaS that organizes ideas submitted in natural language into requirements, basic designs, and detailed design documents through dialogue with AI, and automatically builds them into a working prototype.

Under the concept of 'an AI that "does" rather than "says",' the AI autonomously proceeds from design and implementation to issuing a preview URL. By acting through the intermediate document of a design specification, it balances reproducibility and accountability that general AI code generation services lack.

CueWorker (Operated by CueWorker Inc.)

CueWorker (cueworker.com) is a new type of online work platform where human workers carry out tasks within a work environment constantly accompanied by AI.

While existing freelance matching services assume 'human-only' work, CueWorker provides a web-based work environment where AI constantly assists each worker. By utilizing AI to increase speed while workers handle judgment, creativity, and responsibility—areas where AI struggles—the goal is to achieve quality and speed that are difficult to attain by AI or humans alone.

4. End-to-End 'AI x Human Worker' Realized by the Partnership

By integrating both companies' services, users will be able to complete the following experience in a single flow (planned for June 2026).

When an 'idea' is input into Navi, the AI organizes the design documents through dialogue and builds it to an 'almost working' state via automatic implementation. Afterward, the AI-accompanied workers of CueWorker take over the completion and operation for complex judgments, creativity, and responsibilities that AI is not good at.

This aims to provide an experience where even solo proprietors and SMEs without in-house engineers or designers can outsource everything from prototype verification to operational improvement.

5. Future Plans

Targeting June 2026: Launch of CueWorker integration features on Navi, and preparation for the full-scale launch of the CueWorker Japan region (cueworker.jp)

Early Tester Invitation Program: An invitation-only tester program for engineers and designers is scheduled to start in conjunction with the release of the integration features

Detailed release dates, feature specifications, pricing plans, and how to apply for the tester program will be announced later.
