ROUTE06 Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takafumi Endo), provider of requirements definition AI "Acsim," announces a service integration with Supabase Inc. (Headquarters: Delaware, USA; CEO: Paul Copplestone), which offers the Postgres-based development platform "Supabase" used by over 2 million developers worldwide. This partnership enables users to leverage Supabase environments alongside Acsim.
This integration allows requirements defined in Acsim to be immediately validated in Supabase's backend environment. What traditionally took months for PoC and MVP development can now be accomplished in as little as one day, delivering a new AI-driven development experience that seamlessly connects requirements definition to backend implementation.
While recent advances in generative AI for coding assistance and test automation have steadily improved development productivity, gaps between requirements defined during the design phase and actual implementation remain common.
This stems from structural issues with traditional requirements definition being document-centric, leading to interpretation differences and insufficient sharing of implicit knowledge about requirement intentions. The manual bridging from requirements to implementation causes information loss and redundancy, while the lack of early prototypes leads to costly rework. These misalignments deteriorate project QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) and become factors in DX transformation failures.
Japan's IT system development market is valued at approximately 17 trillion yen, with upstream processes like requirements definition and business design accounting for over 5 trillion yen (*). To address challenges in this critical domain, ROUTE06's requirements definition AI "Acsim" and Supabase are partnering to provide a new AI-driven development experience that seamlessly connects requirements definition to backend implementation.

The requirements definition AI "Acsim" transforms natural language information gathered through interviews and dialogue into machine-readable requirements data, structuring business flows, functional specifications, and related data. These defined requirements can be integrated with Supabase to rapidly configure backend functions including authentication, storage, and databases according to specifications. This enables automatic backend environment construction and prototype generation based on design content, reducing PoC and MVP launch time from months to as little as one day. Early validation with near-production prototypes significantly improves decision-making accuracy and speed.
Additionally, both Acsim and Supabase easily integrate with other AI tools, serving as a foundation for AI-supported development across the entire process.

Traditional system development has always faced risks from the disconnect between requirements definition and implementation, negatively impacting quality, cost, and delivery. This partnership with Supabase provides a practical solution to this structural challenge.
Acsim structures requirements including business processes and data, while Supabase provides a reliable backend foundation, enabling definitive connection between requirements and implementation. Both platforms' high compatibility with other AI tools gives them the potential to evolve into a foundation supporting AI-driven development across all phases. Through this partnership, ROUTE06 aims to accelerate DX transformation in Japan's development landscape and establish a new development standard where AI connects every process, built on the Acsim-Supabase integration.
Supabase: DevRel Engineer Tyler Shukert
We're thrilled that the integration between ROUTE06's Acsim and Supabase will dramatically streamline the process from requirements definition to prototype development. This innovation, reducing PoC and MVP development from months to just one day, will exponentially improve developer productivity. We look forward to seeing Japanese developers focus more on value creation through these significant efficiency improvements.
Acsim is a generative AI platform that complements and enhances stakeholder thinking in requirements definition, which tends to be person-dependent, enabling anyone to define requirements effectively. It comprehensively supports the requirements definition process from current state analysis and issue extraction to improvement planning, full-scale prototype construction, approval support, and automatic design document generation. Generated design information is stored as structured data, available for subsequent phases like implementation and testing, improving overall development quality and dramatically enhancing decision-making accuracy and speed.
