On May 23, 2026, Uravation, Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Suguru Sato) hosted an online seminar titled 'AI Tool Selection Course.' The session focused on cross-referencing five major AI tools—ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, NotebookLM, and Manus—over a three-hour period. In the post-seminar survey (40 responses), the company recorded a 100% overall satisfaction rate (with 77.5% reporting 'Very Satisfied'), and 90% of participants stated they could identify concrete scenarios where they could apply these tools to their own work.

A course addressing the 'I use ChatGPT, but I don't know how to choose' problem While the number of generative AI tools is growing rapidly, many users express difficulty in discerning when to use tools like Gemini or Claude compared to ChatGPT. This seminar was designed not to provide a deep dive into a single tool, but to categorize the five major tools by use case, ensuring participants leave with the ability to judge which tool to use and when.

Seminar Overview - Seminar Title: AI Tool Selection Course - Date/Time: Saturday, May 23, 2026, 14:00–17:00 - Format: Online (Zoom Webinar) - Target Audience: Users who use ChatGPT but want to organize their use of other tools; AI novices (no programming required) - Tools Covered: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, NotebookLM, Manus (cross-sectional analysis with demonstrations)

Post-Seminar Survey Results (40 responses) The post-seminar survey yielded high marks for both satisfaction and understanding. - Overall Satisfaction: 100% 'Satisfied' (77.5% 'Very Satisfied'; average 3.77/4.0 points; 0% 'Dissatisfied') - Level Suitability: 82.5% rated it 'Just right' - Business Application: 90% stated they saw scenarios to apply to their business (62.5% noted they could use multiple tools) - Key Value Added: 85% felt they successfully organized their understanding of AI tool selection

Participant Feedback (Excerpts) The survey feedback highlighted the clarity of the demonstrations and the structured organization of tool usage. - 'There is so much information about AI, so it was very helpful to have the usage organized by purpose.' - 'I gained an image of the features and differences of multiple tools. I now know which tools I should use.' - 'The slides were visually organized and easy to see, allowing me to stay focused until the end.' - 'I didn't know about Manus, so that was shocking. I want to try using it again.'

Emerging Interest: From 'Introduction' to 'Practical Deep Dive' Responses regarding themes for future sessions showed a strong preference for practical topics, such as Codex (AI coding), voice input, AI video generation, AI agent basics, and 'smart integration types' for connecting multiple AIs manually. This suggests a growing interest in moving beyond the basics and into implementing specific tools into business processes.

Future Plans Uravation will continue to hold online seminars to support individuals in mastering AI for work. In addition to introductory courses on AI tool selection, the company will provide practical sessions on how to systematize specific tasks. Furthermore, insights gained from these individual seminars will be channeled back into corporate AI training and AI implementation support services.

CEO Comment 'I take it very seriously that 90% of participants said they saw scenarios where they could apply this to their work. While the number of AI tools continues to increase, the hurdle for many remains the question of which one to use and when. This time, we intentionally analyzed five tools across the board rather than deep-diving into one. Many have requested deep dives into Codex or video generation next, confirming that interest is steadily shifting toward practical utilization. We will continue to create spaces where people can learn in ways that are truly useful in the field.' — Suguru Sato, Representative Director, Uravation, Inc.
