Igniss Inc. (Headquarters: Kanagawa Prefecture, Yokohama City, CEO: Takuma Ogura, hereinafter "Igniss"), which promotes AI nativization for businesses, will begin offering a "Japan-Region-Only Mode" for its AI agent "Blaze," which automates the construction and operation of business systems through conversation. This mode will limit all AI processing to within Japan.

Blaze has already adopted an architecture where it operates as a desktop application in the user's local environment, preventing authentication credentials and business data from being stored by the vendor.
