Glavis joins Fujieda City trial of "Sarashina" admin search

The trial sits inside the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Development and Demonstration Project for Trustworthy AI in the Public Sector." SoftBank acts as the service developer, Fujieda City serves as the user organization and demonstration field, and SB Intuitions supplies the domestic generative AI "Sarashina." Glavis Architects' role is narrower than the system-building itself: it brings the thinking of the "Public AI Knowledge Base" examined by the Public AI Knowledge Research Group, whose chairman is Osamu Sudo, professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo, and whose senior adviser is Jiro Kokuryo, professor emeritus at Keio University.

The body frames the problem as one of reference material, not model power. Counter staff must check laws, notices and manuals and make decisions suited to each case, so administrative knowledge has to be correct, current, legitimate and continuously updated for AI to use it well. Glavis says it will examine how to organize that material so generative AI can reference it properly while keeping up with institutional changes.

Looking further out, the release notes that municipalities expect falling populations and shrinking staff, and it argues that systematizing administrative knowledge and making it available to staff through generative AI could ease workload and stabilize service quality. The stated long-term goal is not a separate system per municipality but a shared way of organizing knowledge that can be used across local governments. Whether that cross-municipality idea holds up likely depends on what the Fujieda demonstration actually shows.
