The rapid evolution and dissemination of generative AI in recent years have substantially transformed the information-seeking behavior and corporate brand awareness patterns of sei-katsu-sha.^*1 As AI-powered information retrieval and recommendation become mainstream, businesses are now required to innovate the design and operation of their websites and owned media to be “selected” by AI.

In order to be the first to respond to the changing times, Hakuhodo DY ONE and HAKUHODO I-STUDIO have been offering AI-friendly owned media-building solutions in support of communication optimized for the age of AI-powered search.^*2 In this context, we are now joined by AI Hack, a new partner with leading expertise and proprietary tools in the area of AI Optimization (AIO), to launch AIO Web Experience Consortium as part of the Hakuhodo DY Group’s cross-Group AI expert initiative HCAI Professionals. By leveraging the strengths of the three companies, we are ready to move forward in broad areas ranging from AI-friendly website building to the development of owned media for the next generation, and the creation of new services.
