LazyAI, a Tokyo-based startup, raised ¥100 million (about US$631,000) in early-stage funding from JAFCO. The company builds AI agents for enterprise IT service management. It will use the funds for platform development and SOC 2 certification.
Funding and patent filing
The startup also filed a patent application for its core technology under number 2026-236817. The application covers technology that checks an organization's state against its rules. The filing is still under review.
Early enterprise projects
LazyAI was founded in September 2024 and is based in Tokyo. It has started projects with several large Japanese companies, including one with about 10,000 employees. Customer names and measurable results have not been disclosed.
What the platform does
LazyAI for IT connects with tools such as Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Entra ID. It automates account creation, permission changes, and device management while checking requests against company policies. The platform also keeps records of requests, approvals, and actions for audits.
LazyAI plans to expand from IT operations into human resources, general affairs, and accounting. It is also hiring additional engineers and business development professionals. The startup will first prove safety in IT departments before those broader uses.
