Retro Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Seiji Mishima) is pleased to announce that it has obtained certification for the "Claude Partner Network," an official partner program operated by Anthropic. Building on our track record of daily AI utilization in our own operations, we will advance our training and technical content through this network to enhance AI implementation support for businesses in a safer and more practical manner. About the Claude Partner Network The Claude Partner Network is an official partner program for companies that support the implementation and utilization of Anthropic's AI assistant, "Claude." Certified partners can build support systems to help companies safely and practically integrate Claude into their operations through access to training programs, technical content, and the latest product information. From "Implementation" to "Safely Achieving Results" with AI While the business use of generative AI is rapidly expanding, companies still face the following challenges: - Difficulty in determining where to start and which tasks to apply AI to for effective results. - Hesitation to fully implement due to concerns about information handling and security. - AI utilization being confined to a few individuals, not reaching a state where the organization as a whole can "use" it. In response to these challenges, we have thoroughly utilized AI in our own operations, accumulating results and operational know-how by integrating it into proposal creation, production, and operational tasks. With this Claude Partner Network certification, we will add accurate and up-to-date knowledge based on primary information to our achievements, further solidifying our support for AI implementation in businesses. Examples of In-House Implementation Achievements: Automation of Operations We have internally developed mechanisms for automating 18 types of tasks, including proposal document creation, creative production, social media managemen
