Japanese startup Luna Tech announced its establishment on September 25, 2026, coinciding with the traditional moon-viewing festival, and opened a limited beta of its AI business support service, Luna AI, to 100 users. The company is based in Tokyo's Chiyoda ward and led by President Haruya Iio. The launch introduces a corporate AI designed to preserve institutional knowledge and turn daily operations into reusable work patterns.
Company Launch and Service Vision
Luna Tech was founded on August 13, 2026 with initial capital of one million yen and a mission to raise productivity across Japan one company at a time. Luna AI is built as a company-specific assistant that can retain customer histories, past decisions, and internal expertise. The service aims to support smaller and regional enterprises that often operate with limited staff while relying on accumulated knowledge.
According to the company, many businesses struggle because information is scattered across systems and employees must re-explain context every time they use AI. Other obstacles include a lack of AI specialists, limited time for implementation, and knowledge loss when staff transfer or retire. Luna Tech argues that the core challenge is not only model performance but also connecting corporate information and working methods to AI.
How Luna AI Works
Users can instruct Luna AI in everyday Japanese without writing complex prompts or code. Requests such as summarizing monthly reports, creating meeting minutes, or preparing proposals based on past documents are processed by referencing company memory and established workflows. Completed outputs are reviewed and corrected by people, and those corrections feed into future work.
The service is organized around four capabilities. It uses company information as long-term memory, develops reusable work patterns instead of stopping at a single deliverable, accepts natural Japanese instructions, and requires human approval for important external actions such as sending or publishing. This design is intended to balance automation with oversight for sensitive company operations.
Integration and Early Pilot Results
Luna AI is designed to connect with external services used in sales, accounting, billing, communication, ecommerce, payments, human resources, and CRM depending on contracts and available APIs. Integration availability depends on each service's terms, contract status, and API offerings. Luna Tech will assess each case individually and notes that all named services and products belong to their respective trademark holders.
In pilot testing, one real estate firm used Luna AI for 30 days and logged 25 tasks totaling about 50 hours of work. The tool supported follow-up notifications, property viewing preparation, and meeting minute creation. A separate one-week pilot with an accounting and business support provider increased documented work patterns from one to eleven and added fourteen recorded memories.
Luna Tech cautions that these results come from a small validation group and do not guarantee outcomes. Results may vary depending on task type and usage conditions, and external submissions are still reviewed by people. These early findings will be used to refine the product through the limited beta.
Pricing and Leadership Perspective
Luna AI is offered at a base price of 5,500 yen including tax per user per month. The subscription includes company memory accumulation, workflow organization, and support for research and document creation. Fees for compatible AI services such as Claude and Codex are billed separately, and customers receive one free month.
President Haruya Iio stated that many Japanese companies possess excellent technology and years of knowledge but cannot fully use them because of labor shortages and overreliance on individual employees. He emphasized that better AI performance alone will not change how work is done. AI becomes useful only when connected to customer history, past decisions, and the reasoning behind established methods.
The launch of Luna AI signals a focus on practical AI tools that embed organizational context rather than offering generic chatbot experiences. With a modest monthly fee and a beta limited to 100 users, Luna Tech is taking an incremental approach to validation. The company plans to support integration through individual estimates while aiming to contribute to broader productivity gains in Japan.
