What happened
And-Dot's sales manager Tomoyuki Adachi conceived and led development of the card-battle disaster quiz app "Mamoruka" using the company's own AI harness, and the JC Kinki Regional Council now publishes it as part of its disaster-awareness efforts.
Why it matters
The case shows a non-engineer salesperson taking an app from concept to public release in a short cycle, suggesting AI tooling may let customer-facing staff turn frontline needs into working products.
WHO IT HITSSales and customer-facing staff at companies adopting AI tooling, and local disaster-awareness programs that may adopt such apps, are the main audiences; the case suggests roles like sales can now originate and ship software, though operation still involves engineers.

The project began with a wish to give children and families a way to treat disaster preparedness as their own concern. And-Dot's sales manager handled the concept and requirements, then used the company's in-house AI harness to lead development, compressing the path from planning to release. Adachi said that as a non-engineer he could improve functions himself while listening to users, but also found it difficult to carry the app through publication and operation with engineers and partners. And-Dot frames the case as an example of shortening the distance between sales and development, turning issues noticed in the field into social implementation in a short cycle. The finished app is a card-battle quiz on disaster themes; during play it prompts families to discuss evacuation sites and contact methods, and the answers become an FCP sheet that can be saved and shared as an image or PDF.
