Refine ideas through dialogue with multiple AIs, then carry through to implementation with a coding agent — student teams complete their development entirely within a salon.
"miraipage," the content publishing platform operated by Walker Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuho Ito), has been adopted as the development environment for "DigiTech Quest," an experiential DX contest in which students and companies tackle real-world DX challenges together. Participating student teams can engage in dialogue with multiple AIs on miraipage's online salon to refine their ideas, then proceed all the way to implementation using a coding agent resident in the salon. Usage begins with the event held in Gifu from August 8–29, 2026.
Until now, miraipage has primarily been an online platform for publishing articles, fiction, manga, slides, and more. This adoption represents a case where its features are being used in an educational and talent-development setting as "a development environment for teams to think, build, and create."
When students take on a DX challenge as a team over the course of several weeks, there are two major hurdles.
The first is the lack of a sparring partner for bouncing ideas around. The second is the wall of implementation — turning a solidified idea into something that actually works. In most cases, these two phases take place in separate locations with separate tools, and both time and momentum are lost in the gap between "thinking" and "building."
miraipage bridges these two phases seamlessly within a single salon. DigiTech Quest has adopted this approach as the development environment for participating teams.
Teams converse with multiple AIs in the salon chat to sharpen their understanding of the challenge and develop solution ideas. By comparing the perspectives of different AIs, they can break free of assumptions and refine their proposals. Angles that wouldn't emerge from human-only discussion are introduced on the spot.
Once an idea has been refined, it can be handed off to the coding agent resident in the salon, which proceeds directly to implementation (code generation and prototyping). The journey from "thinking" to "making it work" unfolds seamlessly within the same chat. There is no need to set up a separate development environment.
Mentors and company representatives join the same salon, where they can consult on works-in-progress — code and conversations alike. The entire exchange from idea to implementation is preserved chronologically in the salon, forming the foundation for presentations and retrospectives.
The first event to introduce this system is the 3rd tournament, hosted by Gifu University and sponsored by NTT DOCOMO, INC., held August 8–29, 2026. Teams of high school and university students (4–6 members) will spend approximately three weeks tackling real-world DX challenges presented by companies, competing on originality, problem-solving ability, feasibility, design, and presentation. The inaugural event (2024) drew more than 50 student participants.
miraipage intends to expand this style of use in educational and talent-development settings to other educational programs, corporate training, and hackathons. Inquiries from contest organizers, educational institutions, and corporate training coordinators are welcome.
"What we want students to gain from a DX contest isn't tool proficiency — it's the experience of 'thinking together with AI and turning ideas directly into something real.' In practice, however, the space for refining ideas and the space for implementation have always been separate. If students can bounce ideas off multiple AIs, sharpen their proposals, and then immediately bring them to life with a coding agent, they can focus entirely on 'what to build.' The decision-making stays with the humans, right to the end. We chose to use miraipage in order to maximize that time."
"For a team to deliver results in a short period, it matters enormously to have the thinking space and the building space unified in one place. Being able to engage in dialogue with multiple AIs to sharpen thinking, then proceed straight through to implementation — that was the deciding factor. It allows students to naturally accumulate the experience of 'mastering AI' within the contest itself."
miraipage ( https://www.miraipage.net ) is a creator platform for the AI era, enabling users to publish and sell diverse forms of expression including articles, fiction, manga, slides, and 3D/AR content. Its online salon feature organizes conversations into topic-specific threads, and salon administrators can configure AI assistants and coding agents to be resident in the salon. From within the chat, users can carry out everything from dialogue with multiple AIs to code generation and prototyping in one seamless flow. A dedicated iOS app, "MirAIPage salon," is also available. Developed and operated by Walker Co., Ltd.
DigiTech Quest ( https://www.digitech.quest ) is an experiential DX contest in which students and companies tackle real-world DX challenges together. Over an approximately five-week program, teams plan and prototype solutions to company challenges and compete in a final presentation. Hosted by Gifu University and sponsored by NTT DOCOMO, INC. Since its inaugural event in 2024, the contest has continued to grow with each successive round.
