*～Providing the most suitable information required by those wishing to immigrate 24 hours a day. Starting from September 6th (Friday) on “Ehime Immigration Net” *
Kayak Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Representative Director and CEO: Daisuke Yanagisawa, TSE Growth: 3904, hereinafter referred to as “Kayak”) has a popular local character from Ehime Prefecture, Mican, who provides immigration consultations. We planned and developed the conversational AI service “AI Immigration Concierge.” Ehime Migration Net, a migration portal site that supports migration to Ehime Prefecture (
https://e-iju.net/
In Ehime Prefecture, where the population is rapidly declining due to a declining birthrate and young people moving out of the prefecture, we aim to further promote migration by increasing the convenience of migration consultation by introducing the 24-hour conversational AI service “AI Migration Concierge”. .
Background and purpose
Today, Ehime Prefecture, like many regions across the country, is facing the problem of serious and rapid population decline. The total population of Ehime Prefecture was around 1.53 million in 1985, but it will fall below 1.28 million in 2024 (*1), and if nothing is done, it will reach 780,000, about 60% of the current population, in 2060. It is predicted to decrease (*2). Therefore, as a measure to counter the social attrition, in which out-migration exceeds in-migration, various migration measures are being implemented under an “all-Ehime” system in which the prefecture, municipalities, and related organizations collaborate, and the number of migrants to the prefecture in 2023 is expected to be 7,254 people. This is the highest number ever (*3). However, in order to resolve social decline, it is necessary to further increase the number of immigrants, and finding potential immigrants is an issue. Therefore, Kayak has developed AI Immigration Concierge, a chat service using generative AI that allows those wishing to migrate to feel free to consult with them about migration at any time.
Since 2019 (*4), Kayak has been continuously responsible for the digital marketing business in the migration field of Ehime Prefecture, and is said to be familiar with the prefecture’s migration strategy as well as the status of digital assets such as websites and SNS. There are strengths. By leveraging this knowledge, we were able to realize a project that takes full advantage of generative AI tools, which have been evolving rapidly in recent years. Through flexible dialogue with users, the “AI Immigration Concierge” will lead to answers that match the information users seek as much as possible, and will support them in maximizing their opportunities to migrate to Ehime Prefecture.
