It serves as a demonstration of a new knowledge provision model where users can directly ask an AI avatar about a book written by AI.AI Avatar Q&A Service (Free, Beta)■ Key Points of This ReleaseAn AI avatar answers questions about a supply chain book written by AI – a dual-layer AI configuration of AI author "Satoru Matsumiya" x AI avatar "June."Real-time voice answers to the content of "Kakugo no SCM" simply by asking questions in Japanese into the microphone.A new entry point to books for management and supply chain leaders, allowing them to "listen before reading and deepen understanding after reading."The answers are based on over 20 years of practical SCM consulting experience accumulated by the Company.Released as a free beta version. A "Free SCM Management Diagnosis" is also under preparation.■ Background of Development | Delivering Supply Chain Reform Expertise to "Executives with No Time to Read" Supply Chain Management (SCM) has been attempted by numerous companies over the past 30 years.However, in practice, questions such as "Profits don't change even with DX," "Departments conflict, halting supply chain reform," and "Competitiveness in the AI era is unclear" are still repeatedly asked.As a solution to these structural challenges, the Company has systematized its unique "Three-Tier Model" framework, which connects the shop floor (PSI), finance (cash), and management (ROIC). This framework was published as the Kindle book "Kakugo no SCM" by AI author "Satoru Matsumiya" (First Edition: April 3, 2026 / Second Edition: May 18, 2026).On the other hand, for busy executives and practical leaders, there is a time hurdle in fully reading a book and understanding it in the context of their own company's supply chain."If only I could ask the author directly the moment a question arises" – inspired by this idea, we developed an AI avatar Q&A service that answers in a conversational format based on the book's content.This service is positioned to handle the "dialogue" aspect of a three-layer structure: knowledge written by generative AI delivered through dialogue by an AI avatar, and ultimately, human consultants providing support through implementation.■ Service Overview | AI Avatar "June" Answers Supply Chain Questions by Voice (Free, Beta)When a user asks a question in Japanese into the microphone, the AI avatar "June" provides real-time voice answers based on the content of "Kakugo no SCM."Examples of questions you can ask the AI avatar:Why has the supply chain failed to produce results for 30 years?
What specifically does "management resolve" refer to? What is the fundamental cause of inter-departmental conflict halting supply chain reform? How should supply chain competitiveness be built in the AI era?

"Now, AI avatar June will deliver the content I wrote through dialogue with you.Please ask your questions by voice the moment they arise.I hope you will use this dialogue as an entry point for discussions that reframe supply chain as "management resolve."– Satoru Matsumiya (AI Author)*This message was created by the Company based on the concept of the AI author "Satoru Matsumiya."■ Linkage with Supply Chain Consulting Services | From Dialogue to ImplementationThe concepts presented in the book and the AI avatar Q&A are applied to actual corporate reforms through the Company's SCM consulting services.This involves SCM reform support that connects shop floor operational indicators such as PSI (Production, Sales, Inventory) to management indicators like ROIC and corporate value through cash flow, and implements the "Three-Tier Model."We have established a system that allows individuals who develop an awareness of SCM issues through dialogue with the AI avatar to seamlessly proceed to diagnosis and consulting.▶ Supply Chain & Management Reform Consulting - Connecting PSI, Profits, and ROICService Introduction Page:https://atstreamconsulting.co.jp/services/sc/psi-roic.html■ Future Outlook | "Management Advisory x AI Technology"This initiative is a demonstration of our new knowledge provision and customer touchpoint model, linking three layers:A book written by generative AIAn AI avatar that answers its content through dialogueConsulting where human experts provide supportIn the future, we plan to release a "Free SCM Management Diagnosis" that diagnoses a company's current supply chain status across seven domains with 10 questions, and we will continuously improve the AI avatar's answer quality and dialogue experience based on user feedback.We will continue to advance the creation of an environment where management and practical leaders can always access SCM and management expertise by integrating our management consulting expertise with AI technology."Free SCM Management Diagnosis" Diagnosing Your SCM Status Across 7 Domains with 10 Questions: Sample Results■ Service InformationService Name: Q&A Regarding "Kakugo no SCM" (Beta)Release Date: July 9, 2026Usage Fee: Free (No registration required)Usage Environment: Web browser (Microphone access permission required)Supported Language: JapaneseURL: https://scm.atstreamconsulting.co.jp/■ Related Media Expansionnote Series "Kakugo no SCM": https://note.com/atstream/m/mf23754851335Official X Account @kakugo_scm: https://x.com/kakugo_scmService Introduction Page: https://atstreamconsulting.co.jp/services/sc/psi-roic.html■ Company OverviewCompany Name: Atstream Consulting Inc.Locations:7F, Burex Kyobashi, 2-7-14 Kyobashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-003112F, Yotsuya Center Building, 3-4-10 Koraibashi, Chuo-ku, Osaka 541-00437F, Nishiki Park Building, 2-4-3 Nishiki, Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 460-0003Representative: Wataru Watanabe, President and CEOFounded: July 30, 2001 (Heisei 13)Established: April 24, 2018 (Heisei 30)Business Activities: Management Consulting (SCM, Management Control, DX, etc.)URL: https://atstreamconsulting.co.jp/■ Inquiries Regarding This ReleaseAtstream Consulting Inc.
