Jitera Inc. , which provides the development AI agent “Jitera,” has entered into a capital and business alliance agreement with Nippon Steel Solutions Co., Ltd. on November 10, 2026, and has raised funds.
Our company and NSSOL have been collaborating as technology partners since January 2025, and since July of the same year, we have been providing “Jitera,” a development AI agent , as part of the “NSDevia” family of system development solutions that utilize NSSOL’s generation AI. This partnership will strengthen the relationship between the two companies and develop “NSDevia” into a foundation that supports companies’ use of AI.
While the use of AI in businesses is expanding, two challenges are becoming apparent. First, general-purpose AI models alone cannot adequately reflect a company’s unique business knowledge and decision-making criteria, meaning that the expertise accumulated by companies is not being utilized in AI responses and decisions. There is a need to prepare and accumulate this expertise in an AI-Ready state that can be utilized by AI. Second, the management of safe and efficient AI use is becoming more complex, including the increase in token (unit of AI usage) costs due to increased usage, the selection of AI models according to the application, the design of guardrails, and ensuring security.

To address these challenges, we have developed and are providing the following two platforms:
AI Control Platform: This platform provides integrated management of the use of multiple generating AIs and AI agents, addressing challenges in AI usage management through cost visualization and access control.
Contextual Foundation: This system manages internal business knowledge and development assets in a way that AI can utilize, addressing the challenges of leveraging company-specific expertise.
Our company will combine these foundations with NSSOL’s expertise and integrate them into “NSDevia,” enabling both AI utilization management and the leverage of company-specific knowledge. In order to develop this initiative into a sustainable business, we determined that stronger collaboration between the two companies was necessary, leading us to move beyond our previous business alliance to a capital and business alliance.
