What TouchSpot does

TouchSpot Inc. (タッチスポット株式会社) is a Tokyo-based marketing and creative company founded on September 28, 2015, by Representative Director and President Mizushima Taiichi. The firm originated as a content production studio creating movies and web content for marketing clients, and has since pivoted toward technology-enabled sales solutions. As of the latest available data, the company operates with 22 employees from its headquarters in Shinagawa, Tokyo, with registered capital of 100 million yen. No external parent company or majority PE/VC control is disclosed, though DBJ Capital provided investment in January 2018.

The company's core product is CEO Clone (CEOクローン), an AI-powered business negotiation platform that creates virtual clones of company CEOs or top sales representatives to conduct meetings and interactive Q&A sessions on behalf of executives. The platform includes a management dashboard for data analysis of negotiation activity and is positioned to reduce sales costs, filter out low-value meetings, and enable use cases such as recruitment company briefings, fundraising presentations, and earnings explanations. The underlying technology relies on text-based conversational AI described as autonomous agents, though no proprietary models, patents, or technical documentation are publicly disclosed.

TouchSpot generates revenue through two streams: professional services for marketing and creative work (movies, web content, interactive experience design), and what appears to be a subscription or recurring model for the CEO Clone platform access. Distribution is direct and domestic, centered on the company's corporate website and dedicated showcase sites for the CEO Clone product. Geographic operations are limited to the Tokyo Metropolitan Area in Japan, with no claimed international footprint. No customer logos, pricing details, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and the company has no mobile app, public API, or SDK.

Broad incumbents

• Salesloft: Sales engagement platform with AI-driven cadence, conversation intelligence, and now Drift's chatbot. Comparable for the overlapping goal of automating and analyzing B2B sales interactions, though primarily US-focused.
• Salesforce: Global CRM and sales automation incumbent with Einstein GPT AI agents for sales. Comparable because both serve enterprise sales teams with AI-augmented selling workflows, though Salesforce operates at massive scale across the full sales stack.
• Microsoft Copilot Studio: Microsoft's low-code platform for building enterprise AI agents across sales, service, and operations. Comparable because it directly competes with CEO Clone's autonomous-agent positioning for executive-facing business workflows within the Microsoft enterprise stack.
• HubSpot: All-in-one marketing, sales, and CRM platform with AI-powered prospecting and conversation tools. Comparable for its horizontal sales/marketing automation positioning overlapping with TouchSpot's CEO Clone use cases in B2B pipeline acceleration.
• marketo (Adobe Marketo Engage): Marketing automation platform within Adobe that handles lead nurturing, drip campaigns, and CRM-driven sales workflows. Comparable to TouchSpot's marketing-automation positioning for enterprise sales-cost reduction and pipeline management.

Direct peers

• Drift: Conversational AI platform (now part of Salesloft) that deploys AI chatbots to qualify leads and book meetings for B2B sales teams. Comparable to CEO Clone as both automate early-stage sales conversations with AI to reduce manual sales-rep effort.
• Conversica: AI sales-assistant vendor whose Revenue Digital Agents autonomously engage leads via email/SMS to qualify opportunities and drive revenue. Closest direct peer to CEO Clone because both deploy autonomous AI agents representing companies in sales conversations.

Emerging players

• Synthesia: AI video avatar platform producing synthetic spokespeople for corporate communications, training, and marketing. Comparable because the underlying technology — high-fidelity AI avatars of executives — overlaps with TouchSpot's CEO Clone avatar infrastructure.
• Tavus: AI platform that generates personalized video clones of sales reps for outreach at scale. Comparable as a direct conceptual cousin of CEO Clone — both clone an individual to automate business communications, with Tavus focused on video and TouchSpot on interactive dialogue.
• Qualified: B2B pipeline-generation platform with Piper the AI Sales Agent engaging visitors in real time on enterprise websites. Comparable because it sells to enterprise sales teams seeking to automate top-of-funnel buyer conversations with AI.
