At the age of 16, Naoki began programming, and by 17, he had already launched his first business. He later enrolled in a Canadian university but chose to leave after two years, returning to Japan
to pursue entrepreneurship.
In 2014, he founded Incubit Inc., driving innovation in AI-driven solutions. He later launched a surgical support AI startup, successfully leading its spin-out through an MBO. Additionally, he oversaw the sale of a subsidiary specializing in infrastructure inspection AI to a major publicly traded company.
In 2023, Naoki founded Tektome Inc., where he currently serves as president, continuing to push the boundaries of AI technology.
Today, we stand at the edge of a transformation in the AEC industry – one driven by the rise of AI Swarm architectures. In traditional construction design workflows, knowledge is fragmented and dependent on personal expertise. AI Swarm changes this by enabling a network of highly specialized agents to autonomously perform individual tasks while coordinating as a collective. However, to realize this future, all agents must access a unified knowledge base that AI can reliably build upon.
At Tektome, we position ourselves as a knowledge agent – one critical piece of the broader AI Swarm ecosystem. Our mission is to ensure that information is structured, valuable, and primed for action, empowering other agents and stakeholders alike to operate with consistency and precision.
To support this vision, we introduce ReqManager, a key pillar of the Tektome Platform. ReqManager is a solution designed to manage the complex web of regulations, internal standards, and client requirements that all projects face. It automatically structures unorganized information, identifies relevant requirements based on project attributes, and supports real-time collaboration among team members. By streamlining compliance workflows, ReqManager helps ensure that early design phases are more accurate, coordinated, and resilient – paving the way for a true AI-driven future in the built environment.
At Tektome, we see knowledge not just as a resource, but as the catalyst for a new era of intelligent collaboration – and we are excited to build that future together.
