Company profile
researched Aug 2026インターセクト株式会社 (INTERSECT INC.) is a Tokyo-based software company founded in April 2023 that develops and operates generative-AI applications and provides digital transformation support. Its principal product is Askhub, a SaaS knowledge management AI platform focused on internal information search, built on a proprietary search system called XAG. Askhub lets companies stand up an environment for business use of generative AI in one place, with templates and prompts for staff without generative-AI expertise, creation of company-specific chatbots, external integrations, and customization and security options; a plan allowing deployment within a customer's own cloud environment (including AWS and Azure) is also offered.
Alongside the platform, the company provides professional services: design, construction and operation of AI assistants optimized to customer business processes, generative-AI AI-agent build support, cloud-based AI deployment and operational support, and a DX support business for corporates and government bodies branded "DX Partners". It also carries out contract software and system development and maintenance, and UX/UI design work. The company states a mission of "AIで日本をDX先進国に。" (making Japan a DX-advanced nation with AI) and a vision of creating companies operated autonomously by AI agents.
