Stamen Inc. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi; President and CEO: Taihei Onishi; hereinafter "the Company"), developer and provider of the employee experience enhancement platform "TUNAG," announces the launch of its AI platform for enterprises, "TUNAG AX (Tunag A.X.) https://ax.tunag.ai/", starting July 1, 2026.
