How common is AI actually being used in your work here in Japan?

Curious to hear from people working here — how much AI is actually showing up in your workplace or industry?

I’ve been learning Claude Code and n8n lately to build automations and agents, mostly to level up my skills and hopefully improve my job situation here. But my impression so far is that Japan is still pretty much in the “ChatGPT and Copilot” phase, while in the US people are already deep into agentic workflows and automation tools. (At least according to YT)

Is that accurate or am I just in the wrong circles? Would love to know:

• Are you seeing AI used beyond the basics at your company?

• Any areas or industries here where more advanced AI skills are actually valued?

• If you were specializing right now for the Japan market, where would you focus?

Not looking to compare Japan vs. the West — just trying to understand where the real opportunities are here. Any perspective appreciated!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
