AG1 Residency Program is a 10-week residency in Tokyo where founders from around the world live together, build together, and focus intensely on creating great products. Applications for Batch 3 are now open! Every batch, AG1 brings founders to Tokyo from across the world, including the US, China, Korea, and many other countries. For Batch 3, there is one type of founder we’re particularly excited to meet: Founders using AI not just to build better software, but to build new infrastructure and products that make AI accessible to ordinary people. We believe the next wave of AI will not only be about better models. It will be about turning intelligence into something people can actually use in their everyday lives, across work, commerce, education, entertainment, and the physical world. And we think Japan is one of the most interesting places in the world to build this: Japan is one of the world’s most advanced economies, yet many parts of society remain surprisingly under-digitized. There is still a huge gap between what technology can do and what people actually use every day. That gap creates an unusually fertile environment for founders: strong infrastructure, sophisticated consumers, large incumbent industries, and countless workflows that AI can fundamentally reinvent. If you want to build products that bring AI out of the lab and into the real world, we want you at AG1. It’s a rare opportunity to spend 10 weeks in Tokyo living and building side by side with ambitious founders from all over the world. And most importantly, check out the new AG1 video we just made!
