TDSE Corporation and Mitsubishi Research Institute have confirmed that PC Operation Agent Technology can function effectively in Japanese language business environments. This technology allows AI to operate a PC using a mouse and keyboard based on human instructions. With the validation complete, both companies plan to move into consulting and business implementation support to help clients apply the agent in real operations.
PC operation agents, also known as GUI agents, have already appeared in commercial and open source forms. Expectations for business use are rising. The gap was verification in Japanese environments. There was limited data. Quality had not been fully tested. TDSE’s Data Technology Lab and MRI’s AI Consulting Division addressed that gap through joint verification.
They created test data and environments simulating common business system settings and administrative procedures. Representative commercial and open source tools were evaluated. Results showed that practical application is possible depending on use case and screen configuration. If screen elements and button names clearly indicate function and instructions are specific, correct execution can be achieved. Open source tools also demonstrated capability under certain business flows. With proper environments, use in handling highly confidential information may be feasible.

Unlike traditional RPA, this approach can automate system tasks without special prior configuration. The teams also built business focused benchmarks and gained evaluation know how covering environment setup, task design, methodology, and reproducibility.
Going forward, MRI will integrate these insights into its generative AI consulting, while TDSE plans to develop tailored AI agent services to support digital transformation and productivity gains.
