Summary
A Japanese-language post on Mercari’s engineering blog (December 2025) in which the company’s CTO writes up a keynote on the company-wide move to becoming an “AI-Native Company”. It argues that high AI-tool usage alone is not AI-Native and that work must be redesigned from an AI-first rather than a human-first premise, and describes three pillars: knowledge management that makes decision history available to agents as context; Agent-Spec Driven Development (ASDD), an implementation-oriented specification template used across development processes; and an AI Task Force of about 100 people that inventoried roughly 4,000 workflows across 33 domains to plan their conversion to AI.
