Keynote & Workshop
Speaking Requests
As a peer role model, I articulate what companies and universities want to convey: 'effort, persistence, and how to engage with AI.' Drawing from the real experience of developing apps for 100 consecutive days and insights from AI implementation support, I inspire motivation to 'practice and master generative AI.'
We will respond within 2 business days.

Voice
What Organizers Say
Comments received from the companies that hosted these lectures, quoted verbatim.
The lecture was packed with eye-opening content that made me realize what it truly means to get results by making full use of AI. I was reminded that how you give instructions and how you think matter more than the technology itself. I am going to try 'managing AI as my team' right away.
Challenges
Challenges Companies Face—'Hard to Convey Even When You Want To'
Many companies today struggle with these genuine concerns. In my lectures, I address these challenges head-on and boldly articulate them so attendees can accept and act on the message.
- Young employees have short-term career perspectives, making it difficult to recoup training investments
- Growing number of young employees with mismatched skills and expectations, leading to self-assessment gaps
- The message 'effort = value' doesn't resonate well
- Managers find it difficult to speak firmly, making training communication challenging
- Want to advance AI adoption but it doesn't translate to results in the field
Key Messages
What This Lecture Conveys
I convey the direction of effort that directly leads to results and winning strategies unique to the generative AI era, through both stories and data.
Not AI 'Illusions' but Realistic Success Patterns
Generative AI is not a 'magic solution.' I organize patterns that do and don't lead to results in the field, drawing from over 100 personal development projects and corporate support, distilling them into best practices you'll want to try tomorrow.
Redefining the Value of Effort and Persistence for the 'AI Era'
I present 'the direction of effort that directly leads to results' through stories and numbers, not 'effort = spiritualism.' Through the process proven in #100DayChallenge, I lower barriers to challenge while encouraging self-directed habit formation.
Messages That Reach Because They Come from Outside
The importance of 'effort, persistence, and initiative'—which can cause friction internally—doesn't sound preachy when conveyed by an external role model. I create an atmosphere for honest engagement by adding 'stories' that attendees can emotionally connect with.
Themes
Lecture Themes
The content centers on delivering the process of '#100DayChallenge' and approaches to generative AI to young researchers and employees. Incorporating generative AI use cases, I create a state where employees and students 'want to practice and master generative AI.'
- Presenting AI-era career design through the content and philosophy of '#100DayChallenge.'
- Sharing success and failure cases of generative AI, turning 'mastery' in the field into stories.
Learning from '#100DayChallenge': How to Pioneer the Future in the Generative AI Era
Explaining habits for making generative AI 'an ally' and project design that individuals can implement. A session aimed at transforming the mindset of young researchers and new employees.
'From Being Replaced by AI to Mastering AI!' Generative AI Techniques from #100DayChallenge
Introducing training methods for 'practicing and mastering' AI. Ideal for corporate training aimed at raising AI literacy.
1-Hour Hands-On Workshop: Game Development Using Generative AI
A practical lecture where participants experience AI-powered output on the spot. Understand the potential of generative AI as a 'companion' while getting hands-on.
Why Choose
7 Reasons Why My Lectures Are Chosen
An Extremely Rare Speaker with Three Axes: Writer × Research × Practice (App Development)
Many speakers tend to lean toward either 'researcher type,' 'practitioner type,' or 'influencer type.' Ami Otsuka's lectures combine all three: bestselling books = storytelling and structuring power, developer = practical AI and product skills, researcher = academic background.
- Researcher type: Strong in theory but weak in practice
- Practitioner type: Has experience but weak in articulation
- Influencer type: Has promotional power but shallow content
Speakers combining all three perspectives are virtually nonexistent, and this irreplaceable rarity is highly valued.
Speaks in Ways That Young People Overwhelmingly Connect With and That Help Managers
As an external speaker, I give voice to the genuine concerns companies face: 'young employee turnover,' 'discomfort with AI,' 'mental exhaustion,' and 'career confusion.'
- Want to reduce young employee turnover risk
- Want to eliminate AI anxiety and encourage self-direction
- Want to address mental exhaustion
- Want to support those lost in their careers
Because it's a success story from their own generation, resonance is high, and messages that managers find hard to convey are delivered smoothly.
I serve as a bridge between attendees and supervisors as someone who can be an 'internal spokesperson' from the company's perspective.
A Speaker Who Enables Immediate AI Proficiency
I thoroughly avoid failures common in AI training.
- Content too difficult, leaving people behind
- Ending with just tool explanations without leading to action
- No pathway to habit formation, so nothing sticks
On top of that, I provide 'habit formation for incorporating AI into daily life,' 'immediately usable tips and pathway design,' and 'fundamental thinking about AI × operational efficiency,' directly connecting to practice from tomorrow.
Because I accompany people until they reach a state of 'practicing and mastering,' post-training utilization rates are characteristically high.
Strong Storytelling Makes It A Lecture People Want to Hear
A movie-like story of transformation from ordinary economics student → major company software engineer → writer, with SNS, note, and products growing in tandem. I have also spoken at venues where engineers and executives gather, including the PyCon JP 2025 keynote, Dell Technologies Forum 2025, and the Beppu Bay Conference 2025.
A Rare Position: Influencer × Practitioner
Almost no speakers satisfy both strong influence in promotion and communication AND content backed by practice and research. Because I've experienced planning, implementation, and PR end-to-end, I can show realistic winning strategies while ensuring topicality.
Delivering Results: Young People Moving Forward Positively
I commit to having young people take action after lectures. Results like these have actually emerged:
- Young employees starting to study, share, and use AI on their own
- High evaluations in training surveys
- Messages that resonate with SNS generation values, drawing out initiative
- Repeat invitations keep coming (three engagements across the Hitachi Group, two at Hitachi, Ltd. itself)
Showing a World at Scale
I achieve both 'igniting motivation' and 'showing future possibilities' that corporate training requires.
- Challenging at the forefront of generative AI × individuals
- Track record of own business / apps / books
- Real cases of team development operations and RAG SaaS
- Presenting clear success stories
By discussing grand future visions with concrete examples, I create a space where attendees can excitedly imagine their next step.
