SORACOM Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Ken Tamagawa) will launch "SORACOM Agent," a managed AI agent service that enables automation of business operations, on-site improvements, and product development using IoT, even without specialized IT knowledge, starting July 7, 2026. This service will be released as a Technology Preview version (*1). SORACOM Agent is a managed AI agent that accompanies users throughout all stages of an IoT project, from planning and prototyping to development and operation. Automation of on-site processes and product development using AI are important themes for many companies, not only for cost reduction but also as opportunities for new business creation. However, IoT spans a wide range of technical areas, including devices, communications, cloud, AI, and security, requiring specialized knowledge for implementation. Furthermore, operational staff who possess on-site know-how and engineers who build systems are often in different departments. Even if there are ideas for utilization, securing specialized knowledge and coordinating between departments takes time and cost to actually implement and achieve results. SORACOM Agent, equipped with IoT knowledge, provides solutions by simply communicating problems or, by stating a goal, independently devises methods and procedures for IoT implementation and autonomously executes tasks while operating multiple tools. Simply giving instructions in natural language, such as "When an abnormal detection alert comes from the sensor, understand the content and notify me with a countermeasure," SORACOM combines its rich suite of IoT services, including device management, data collection, image analysis, and automatic notifications, to build the system. Users do not need to instruct each step individually. Staff with business knowledge and know-how can solve problems through consultation. Furthermore, it is equipped with "Project Memory," which stores past user interactions, on-site
