AI firm デジライズ pays 3,000円 a week for five-day office attendance

Digirise's move runs against the grain of remote-work adoption at many technology firms, and the company frames it as a deliberate response to its own product: generative AI now handles document preparation, tallying and routine confirmation work, which it says it has redesigned its own operations around. The allowance is paired with a standard expectation of four office days, flexible hours, and individual consideration for long commutes or family circumstances, so the five-day payment works as an incentive layered on top of a hybrid baseline rather than a strict mandate.

The company says its business is expanding quickly — AI education, AI adoption support and AI system development, plus a robot and physical AI business it says it launched in October 2026 — and it argues that a widening portfolio with small teams makes face-to-face speed an advantage. Its stated reasons are raising the density of learning as new AI tools appear weekly, speeding decisions, and helping new hires learn by watching senior colleagues. CEO Masahiro Chama's comment turns the apparent contradiction into the pitch: an AI company, he says, is precisely why in-person work deserves support, with AI-created time redirected to people facing each other.
