# Nagoya’s Central AX takes companies from AI training to custom development and AI search, so the tools actually stay in use - Company: Central AX Inc. - Industry: IT, AI & DX - Area: Aichi / Nagoya (Nationwide, focused on Aichi, Gifu, Mie and Shizuoka) - Representative: Jun Matsuura (CEO, Central AX Inc.) - Website: https://central-ax.co.jp/ - Published: 2026-11-08 / Updated: 2026-11-08 - URL: https://businesslife.music-japan.com/en/companies/central-ax/ ## What does Central AX do? Central AX Inc. is a Nagoya company that helps businesses adopt AI. One team handles training on ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot, custom AI development, and LLMO so companies appear in AI search. Founded in May 2026, it is led by CEO Jun Matsuura and COO Katsu Kondo. Central AX Inc. (Nakamura-ku, Nagoya; CEO Jun Matsuura) handles generative AI training, custom AI development and LLMO with a single team. Since its founding in May 2026 it had supported 20 companies by the end of August. ## Key points - Training, custom development and LLMO, usually split across vendors, are handled by one team - They visit factories and offices before proposing anything, focusing on manufacturing, construction, logistics and tourism in Tokai - Supported 20 companies between founding in May and the end of August 2026; a Claude Code demo event drew 120 sign-ups ## Training and development, not split apart AI projects tend to fail in one of two ways: training with nowhere to apply it, or systems nobody knows how to use. Central AX handles training, custom development and LLMO with one team. When the same people teach and build, that gap is less likely to open. ## First, they go to the floor Rather than sending proposals after a video call, they visit factories and offices and start by looking at paper reports and how each person actually works, focusing on manufacturing, construction, logistics and tourism in Aichi, Gifu, Mie and Shizuoka. ## Twenty clients in three months Between its founding on May 29, 2026 and the end of August, it supported 20 companies. In August it co-hosted a Claude Code demo on audit work with a certified public accountant that drew 120 sign-ups. New tools and AI search tactics are always tested in-house first. ## Problems they solve | If you are facing | What they can do | | --- | --- | | You pay for generative AI, but nobody uses it | Redesign around the work people want to make easier, and stay until it runs in-house | | You cannot decide where to start with AI | They visit the floor and find the task that eats the most time | | Daily reports and checklists are still on paper | Prototype on one workflow first, then expand what works | | ChatGPT never mentions your company for your industry | Organize and publish information in a form AI can cite (LLMO) | ## Services - **Generative AI training**: ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot, using your own documents, starting from what you will use them for (https://central-ax.co.jp/) - **Claude Code training**: Built on daily use since its release, focused on bringing it into everyday work - **Custom AI development**: Listen, map the workflow, prove it with a prototype, then go live; start small and grow - **Internal document chatbot**: A system that answers employee questions from your rules and manuals - **Tool automation**: Connect your current tools with MCP and AI agents to cut manual work - **LLMO**: Help your company come up when people ask ChatGPT or Gemini ## What sets them apart 1. **Training and development, together**: The same team teaches and builds, so people learn on the systems they will actually use. 2. **They go to the floor first**: Instead of sending proposals after a video call, they visit factories and offices to see paper reports and how work really gets done. 3. **They test it on themselves first**: New tools and AI search tactics are tried in-house first; LLMO is practiced on their own website. ## The founder: Jun Matsuura He founded Central AX in May 2026 while studying at Nagoya University, driven by the gap he felt on every trip to Tokyo: AI was becoming routine there, but not yet in Tokai. His first venture, a smartphone locker for students, did not work out. He then spent a year beside a business owner in Tokyo, asking why each decision was made, which shaped how he runs Central AX today (from SECOND TAKE ST.001). He has used Claude Code at work since release day, and in August 2026 co-hosted a demo with a certified public accountant on audit work and company analysis that drew 120 sign-ups. > Think a thousand times, so you can move ten. (From the SECOND TAKE ST.001 interview) ## A good fit for - Companies whose AI tools never caught on internally - Manufacturing, construction and logistics firms with lots of paper and manual work - Companies in Tokai looking for an AI partner they can meet in person ## Company profile - Company: Central AX Inc. - Representatives: Jun Matsuura, CEO / Katsu Kondo, COO - Founded: May 29, 2026 - Address: 401 Dai-2 Mori Bldg., 4-24-5 Meieki, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, Aichi - Business: AI implementation (AI training, custom AI development and workflow improvement, LLMO) - Service area: Nationwide (focus on Aichi, Gifu, Mie, Shizuoka) - Corporate site: central-ax.co.jp (https://central-ax.co.jp/) ## FAQ ### What can I ask Central AX to do?
