How will "calendars" and "events" change in the age of AI? Jorte's Shimohana discusses the future of time-based businesses.
We spoke with Jorte’s Mr. Shimohana about the calendar app "Jorte" and the event platform "Eventia." We discussed how digitizing diverse events—from major festivals to small local gatherings—transforms our daily lives. He also shared his vision of redefining the calendar in the AI era, shifting it from a simple scheduling tool to a time-axis foundation that supports human behavior, health, and experiences.
