And Dot

What And Dot does

And Dot Inc. (アンドドット株式会社) is a Tokyo-headquartered (Shibuya) AI Transformation (AX) company founded in June 2023 that helps Japanese enterprises and local governments adopt generative AI through a combination of proprietary SaaS products, methodology-led consulting, and structured training programs. The company serves 350+ enterprises and 250+ local governments (18 prefectures, 122 cities, 20 towns) across Japan, with a Fukuoka branch office co-located in the Fukuoka Growth Next startup ecosystem. Its product portfolio includes QT-GenAI (a multi-LLM enterprise platform co-developed with QTnet supporting GPT, Claude, Gemini, and PaLM2 with LGWAN compatibility for government use), Ork 行政あんない (an AI-powered multilingual government website search and inquiry chatbot), Geasy (an AI meeting minutes service using speech recognition and LLM summarization), and the Ork series of workflow automation agents.

The company's underlying technology stack is built around orchestration of third-party foundation models rather than proprietary model training, combined with proprietary integration and methodology layers: the AI Skill Pyramid® training framework (4 tiers: literacy, creativity, prompt design, technical skills), the Fit Journey Method (5-stage business development framework), and the FDE (Forward Deployed Engineer) talent model that combines engineering, consulting, and product management roles. And Dot holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification (July 2025) for its SaaS generative AI operations, and operates subsidiaries And Dot Net Inc. (QT-GenAI development) and And Dot It Inc. (Geasy development).

Revenue is generated through three streams: AX transformation consulting and training services (professional services revenue, project-based and multi-session engagements), software subscriptions for QT-GenAI, Ork, and Geasy (recurring SaaS with annual subscription and per-seat pricing), and co-creation / joint development projects (licensing-style revenue sharing with strategic enterprise clients). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, direct government sales leveraging CEO advisory positions, B2B2B distribution through regional bank partners (Chugoku Bank, Kagawa Bank, Oita Bank, Kyoto Shinkin), and QTnet's Kyushu-region enterprise sales network. The company is privately held, with the only disclosed capital event being the May 2024 QTnet strategic partnership.
