Just Type 'I Want to Open a Restaurant': Japan Subsidy Search Adds AI Natural-Language QueryA · FULL TRANSLATION

X-HACK added AI natural-language search to its free subsidy-finding service 'Hojokin Sagasu,' so users can type a plain sentence like 'I want to open a restaurant' and get matched to suitable subsidies. For those starting a business in Japan it solves a real pain point: Japan's subsidy system is vast and complex, and just understanding what you qualify for was a barrier. Using AI as the entry point lets more small operators actually access government support — part of Japan's trend of using AI to simplify administration. Details per the company.
