JSOL Corporation has entered into the first solution partnership and reseller agreement in Japan for Replit Inc., a rapidly growing company with a vibecoding-based AI development platform. Through this partnership, JSOL will promote the spread of vibecoding in Japan and contribute to improving the competitiveness of companies by ensuring compatibility with customers’ existing systems and strengthening security.
In recent years, a serious shortage of IT personnel has been pointed out, and for many companies, the inability to quickly translate business ideas into systems has become a major management challenge. Against this backdrop, vibecoding is rapidly gaining attention.
Vibecoding is a technology that allows you to design and build software such as apps simply by giving instructions to AI in natural language such as Japanese. Even people without specialized programming knowledge can simply tell the AI in Japanese, “I want to create this kind of app,” and the AI will automatically generate and execute the program. This allows AI to take over many of the processes from design to release that were traditionally handled by developers. However, companies faced the following obstacles in introducing vibecoding into their actual operations.
Unable to integrate properly with existing internal systems
It is difficult to comply with security, internal rules, and governance requirements.
It is difficult to evaluate and judge whether the developed system can be linked to new business ventures or business improvements.

Replit is a cloud-based development platform that allows you to complete coding entirely within your browser. While existing AI coding support tools aim to improve the efficiency of engineers, Replit is fundamentally different in that it is designed to enable non-engineers to take on system development itself. It requires no installation, supports instructions in Japanese, and its AI agent provides end-to-end support from application planning, design, implementation, and publication. Its key feature is that it can be used even without specialized programming knowledge. Business personnel can simply input their ideas in Japanese, and a working prototype can be completed in a short time, significantly reducing the time from “coming up with an idea to actually seeing it in action.” Specifically, there are cases where prototype development that previously took about two weeks from requirements definition to implementation and verification was completed in as little as two days using this solution.
Companies that implement this system can expect the following changes:
Enabling on-the-ground system improvements: Business users can create and test prototypes themselves without waiting for requests from the IT department.
The idea validation cycle will dramatically accelerate: the cost of “trying it out” will decrease, creating an environment where new services can be tested without fear of failure.
Reducing outsourcing costs and increasing in-house development: By handling part of the development in-house, efficiency is improved in terms of both cost and time.
In fact, Replit is used in the actual operations of major companies such as Zillow, Atlassian, Adobe, Accenture, and Databricks, and they recently announced their high-performance development agent, “Agent 4”.
JSOL leverages its extensive system integration expertise to provide the following support and assistance to promote the adoption and utilization of Replit, a solution with robust development capabilities, within Japanese enterprise environments. This ensures that Replit’s speed is not compromised while simultaneously achieving the quality, security, and stability demanded by enterprises.
New Business Development and Support : To turn an idea into a viable business, evaluation from a business perspective is essential, not just a technical one. JSOL provides support from the planning stage, helping to ensure that the developed system translates into actual business value.
Integration with existing systems : If a system cannot connect with existing internal systems, it cannot be used in actual business operations. JSOL supports the design and implementation of connections with core systems, enabling deployment in a way that actually works in the field.
Security and Quality Assurance : JSOL provides support in accordance with the stringent standards of each industry to ensure that AI-generated code meets corporate security standards and industry regulations, raising the AI-generated code to a level where it can be used long-term as a corporate business asset.
Stable operation after implementation : JSOL provides continuous support and operational design to ensure a secure environment for continued use after implementation, while managing security risks.
This partnership was made possible through the SMFG Silicon Valley Digital Innovation Lab, which is dedicated to discovering promising startups in the United States and bridging the gap between them and Japanese companies.
Through this partnership, the two companies will jointly promote market development strategies and propose AI-driven development methods to a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, finance, and retail. They will contribute to the promotion of highly effective and secure digital transformation (DX) for client companies, enabling them to create services directly from on-site ideas without being constrained by technical limitations. JSOL aims to achieve sales of 100 million yen in this project by fiscal year 2026.
In addition, we are planning to hold “AI hackathons” in collaboration with local governments. By supporting the acquisition of IT skills, we aim to create an environment where young people and others can find highly specialized jobs while staying in their local communities. This will also contribute to job creation in rural areas through the use of digital technology.
