CEO Message

Daichi Nozaki

The evolution of AI is no longer simply an extension of operational efficiency. What we are witnessing now is a fundamental shift in which every aspect of the enterprise, from executive decision-making to frontline operations, is being rebuilt around AI.

To leverage this shift for business growth and competitive advantage, strong leadership commitment and a company-wide perspective are more important than ever.

At SB OAI Japan, we combine OpenAI's frontier technology with SoftBank's practical expertise to make AI a driver of enterprise transformation. As “Customer Zero”, we ourselves will continue to take on new challenges, and we look forward to shaping the future together with our customers.

CTO Message

Colin Jarvis

AI is moving quickly, but real enterprise transformation does not happen in a demo. It happens when frontier models are connected to real business and operational problems, real users, real data, and the systems companies depend on every day.

At SB OAI Japan, our role is to turn OpenAI’s frontier technology and SoftBank’s market experience into AI that drives real business outcomes. We start with high-value customer problems, iterate directly with users, harden integrations, measure what works, and turn the patterns we discover into repeatable products and deployment playbooks.

Our customer connection is our superpower. By working side by side with Japanese enterprises, we can build a tight loop from the field back to OpenAI Product and Research - helping customers create real outcomes today, while shaping better agents, better models, and better enterprise platforms for the future.
