Product
Problem
As product discovery shifts from search engines to AI assistants, businesses are losing visibility because AI agents cannot reliably read and extract their corporate and product information. Unstructured websites and product catalogs cause AI systems to miss, misread, or omit company names and offerings when generating answers to purchase-related queries.
Solution
Pioneerwork provides optimization support that restructures corporate websites and product data so AI agents can consistently read and surface the company's name and products in AI-generated responses. The company offers a free diagnostic report that measures how often a client's site appears in AI answers, alongside a paid consulting service for full optimization. Additionally, Pioneerwork operates a cloud service called Zag Catalog Specification Extraction, which uses AI to read product catalogs and convert them into structured specification tables by model number, with source citations and human review capabilities. The service runs on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service in the Japan region, and all extracted data rights belong to the customer.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Japanese manufacturers, distributors, and B2B businesses with complex product catalogs that need AI-readable structured product data, as well as marketing teams seeking visibility in AI-assisted product discovery.
