November 11, 2026 · 2 min read
LazyAI, a company developing artificial intelligence agent software for information technology service management, has completed a funding round of 100 million yen led by JAFCO. The company will use the capital to obtain SOC 2 certification, develop its core technology, and hire engineers and business development staff.
LazyAI has also filed a patent application for the core technology underlying LazyAI for IT, its platform that deploys artificial intelligence agents to manage corporate IT operations. The patent application number is 2026-236817.
LazyAI for IT allows artificial intelligence agents to execute IT tasks using system administrator permissions. The platform integrates information scattered across multiple internal systems and verifies artificial intelligence behavior against organizational rules before execution. Operations that violate rules require confirmation before proceeding. The system automatically records evidence logs at each stage of request, judgment, and execution to support audit requirements.
The platform connects with Microsoft 365, Entra ID, asset management tools, and human resources systems to handle account provisioning, permission changes, device management, and software management. It features guardrail functionality, currently under patent application, that determines who holds what permissions and at what authorization level. The platform also provides unified management of accounts, devices, software licenses, and incident response histories.
Workflows can be created and modified in natural language by staff without specialized technical knowledge, allowing organizations to adapt to business changes without vendor modification fees. LazyAI offers both a software-as-a-service model and a private cloud plan that runs within customer cloud environments, allowing organizations to avoid storing operational and personal data with the company.
Since launch, LazyAI has begun projects with major domestic enterprises, including a customer with approximately 10,000 employees. The company's security foundation based on ISMS standards and design premised on control requirements have been recognized by customers. LazyAI plans to expand the application of its artificial intelligence agent platform from IT operations to routine tasks across corporate departments including human resources, general affairs, and accounting.
