LayerX Co., Ltd. will begin offering “AI Token Advisor,” which supports the management of AI service usage and costs, through its “Bakuraku Business Card.”
The use of AI is expanding to various business operations, including information organization, development support, and business process automation. AI services are also diversifying and are expanding from initiatives in specific departments or by individuals to becoming company-wide operational infrastructure.
According to the “Worldwide AI and Generative AI Spending Guide 2026V1” published by IDC Japan in March 2026, domestic AI market spending is projected to expand 2.9 times, from 2,372.5 billion yen in 2025 to 6,889.7 billion yen in 2029. As the use of AI in companies expands, the importance of properly understanding and managing AI-related spending is increasing even further.

On the other hand, as AI adoption advances, expense management within companies becomes more complex. AI services tend to spread at the departmental and individual levels, and it is an area where the simultaneous use of multiple services and fluctuations in costs based on usage are common. Therefore, it is difficult to grasp “who is using which tool and to what extent” based solely on the billing amount, and it is difficult to judge the impact on costs based only on actual usage.
Against this backdrop, the “Bakuraku Business Card” will offer an “AI Token Advisor” to help understand usage patterns, in addition to managing payments for AI services. By allowing companies to check payment information and usage status together, it will help create a situation where companies can continue to utilize AI without stopping, while properly understanding costs.
