─ Why you don't have to give up
A human dedicated DX consultant
Millions of yen／year and up
When the contract ends, no one is left on the frontline
IPRO-kun
Dedicated-consultant caliber,at a monthly price within reach
Because it stays on-site, the "playbook" remains inside your company
Does this sound familiar?
Are you stuck right before "we want DX"?
DX at a small or mid-sized business isn't a matter of motivation. Consultants are expensive, and there's no dedicated person in-house—you simply lack someone to watch over it and keep it going. With IPRO-kun on-site, here's how "your current work" changes.
Consultants are expensive—and temporary
A company-wide engagement runs into millions of yen. And when the contract ends, no one is left on the frontline.
We brought in AI tools, but…
In the end, no one could really use them, and before long nobody touched them at all.
We want DX—but where do we start?
There's a mountain of things to do. But without knowing where to start for real impact, everything stalls.
We can't afford a dedicated person
IT and planning are both side jobs. There's simply no time to even think about improvement.
─ WHAT IS IPRO
An AI consultant that sees, thinks,and rolls up its sleeves.
IPRO-kun is an AI agent that has fully internalized the methodology IPLoT actually uses in the field—its 36 courses of in-house training. It stays on-site in your team's Slack, Teams, and meetings, watches the frontline, gets hands-on to produce deliverables, and walks alongside you—explaining "why we do it this way," too.
Consultant mode
Engineer modeFrom the "consultant" who organizes workflows and requirements to the "engineer" who gets hands-on—a dependable side for every scene.
─ WHAT IT DOES
What this agent does for you on the frontline
We translated the entire IPLoT consulting process into "seven moves." While on-site, it moves the frontline forward in this order.
Notice
- Detects waste, person-dependent work, and pain points from Slack, Teams, and meeting conversations
- Picks up on a single comment like "I do this by hand every time…" and proposes a fix on the spot
Organize
- Discovery design and current-state assessment
- Breaks issues down MECE with an issue tree
- Keeps the logic sound with hypothesis thinking, big-picture thinking, and analysis
Map
- Draws AS-IS (current) and TO-BE (target) business workflow diagrams
- Infers how work actually runs from the data, and verifies it
Decide
- Requirements definition and gap-checking for frontline rollout
- Scoping which parts should move to AI
- Good/better/best estimates, backed by effort rationale
Run it
- Auto-generates meeting minutes, to-dos, proposals, and slides
- Project management (WBS, issues, risks)
- Sets up operational testing and acceptance checks
Diagnose & support
- DX / AI Adoption Diagnosis (6 axes, 20 questions) plus the order that delivers impact
- Advice on management and building systems that get people moving
─ ALWAYS ON
That's what works best.
─ WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE
With IPRO-kun, here's what changes
Right after "you mention it once," the next move is already in motion.

I retype these purchase orders by hand for five companies every time—it's quietly exhausting…
IPRO-kun 14:32
I drew the current flow for that task 👇 Approval and retyping are the manual bottlenecks. Automating this frees up20 hours a month. Want me to put together a TO-BE plan and a rough estimate?
─ WHY IPRO
Different from hiring a person or buying a tool
IPRO-kun stays in your Slack and meetings to follow what's happening on the ground, and actually produces deliverables like workflow diagrams and requirements docs. It doesn't stop at rollout—the more you use it, the better it fits your operations. What sets it apart from either hiring someone or adding a tool is that it handles all of this together.
| IPRO-kun | Human DX consultant | General-purpose AI chat | Typical automation tool | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | The whole company, every step (thinking → design → execution) | Only the area you commissioned | Only what you asked about | Only the process you wired up |
| When it works | On-site 24/7/365, proactively | Only during the contract (temporary) | Only when you ask | Only the process you configured (passive) |
| Frontline context | Retains and understands the context of Slack, Teams, and meetings | Needs discovery every time | Explain from zero every time | Holds no context |
| What you get | Real deliverables: workflow diagrams, requirements, estimates, and more | High quality, but high cost | Mostly written answers | Only the fixed output |
| Cost | A level a small or mid-sized business can actually afford | Hundreds of thousands to millions of yen per month | Cheap, but doesn't last | Tool fees plus the people to run it |
| Does it take root | Hands-on support leaves the "playbook" inside your company | Person-dependent, siloed in one owner | Nothing stays in the company | Needs people who can master it |
Substance that "AI that just looks the part" can't copy.
IPRO-kun's strength isn't apparent cleverness. It's that the methodology IPLoT built up in real consulting fields has beensystematized as 36 in-house training courses, and that educational asset is exactly what's inside IPRO-kun. So instead of an answer that "looks the part," it gets hands-on following the"playbook"actually used in the field. This backbone can't be copied overnight.

─ THE FOUNDATION
The foundation: a 22-course consulting methodology
From thinking patterns to running engagements, system design, and managing people. IPRO-kun holds the "entire process."
Work philosophy
The value of work and taking ownership—the foundation of "why we do this."
Core thinking
Hypothesis, big-picture, ideation, analysis, issue trees. Thinking patterns that apply across industries.
Consulting craft
Discovery → AS-IS/TO-BE → requirements definition → estimates → PM. The hands-on work that moves a project forward.
System design
Status design, operational testing, optimizing with AI, and the full picture of an enterprise system.
Management
What it takes to get people moving, and systems that endure. Support for life after rollout.
IPLoT METHOD
From finding the problem to running it—one continuous flow.
While other firms take on just “development” or just “maintenance,” IPLoT delivers all three as one: (1) problem discovery & consulting, (2) development powered by generative AI, and (3) post-launch operations. The map below shows where each of our services sits across these three pillars.
Three parts, one offering: Discover → Build → Operate
Problem discovery & consulting
Before “what to build,” we ask “what is the real problem.” A standardized method distilled from our 36 in-house courses structures the issues on the ground.
Development
We make the most of generative AI to go from requirements to implementation fast and at lower cost.
Operations & maintenance
We don’t just ship and leave. We keep watching the live system through its operation logs and keep improving it.
Every phase does not have to be ours. We agree the split of responsibilities—and how records are shared—with you and your existing vendors, and keep the information connected.
How we differ from a typical dev firm
| Aspect | A typical dev firm | IPLoT |
|---|---|---|
| Entry point | Builds what it’s told (spec-first) | Starts from problem discovery & consulting |
| Consulting | Relies on the individual’s experience | Repeatable via a standard method (36 courses) + Brain Pro |
| Development | Cost piles up with man-hours | Compresses build cost with generative AI |
| Operations | Passive—fixes things once they break | Menta-kun watches and proposes improvements proactively |
| Delivery | Split by phase, with gaps at the seams | One team, from discovery through operations |
“A typical dev firm” describes what commonly happens when phases are split between parties; it does not refer to any specific company.
─ FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Once you connect it so it can see your Slack or Microsoft Teams channels and meeting records, IPRO-kun grasps conversations as context, spots pain points and waste, and acts ahead of time. Of course, you decide "what it may see" and "what it may touch."
It's actually built for small and mid-sized businesses. The idea is to put the kind of dedicated DX consultant only large companies could afford on-site, at a level a smaller company can actually carry. You can start small, with a single team and a single task.
General-purpose AI has to be explained from scratch every time and holds no context or "playbook." IPRO-kun retains your frontline context (Slack, Teams, meetings), works in line with the methodology IPLoT actually uses in the field (36 in-house training courses), and produces real deliverables like workflow diagrams, requirements, and estimates.
You can finely control what it can access and what it can do, on your side. We design the handling of sensitive information in consultation with you. We recommend starting with a limited set of channels and a limited task.
That's exactly where it shines. First it visualizes the AS-IS (current state), uses a DX diagnosis to pinpoint the order that delivers impact, then runs small improvements. Nothing needs to be tidy from the start.
A phased rollout: free consultation → decide the scope it can see and connect → try it on a single task first → confirm the results and expand. Get in touch and we'll tailor a proposal to your situation.
