Summary
Tokyo-based AI startup Sakana AI has launched its first commercial product, Sakana Marlin, an autonomous B2B research agent designed as a "Virtual CSO" (Chief Strategy Officer). Unlike typical chatbots that generate instant responses, Marlin runs continuous, self-governing reasoning loops for up to eight hours to produce deeply researched, well-cited, 100-page strategy reports. The company also states that customer data and inputs will not be used for model training without explicit opt-in consent.

· 4 pulledSakana AI has officially launched its first commercial product, Sakana Marlin.
Billed as a 'Virtual CSO' (Chief Strategy Officer), Marlin is an autonomous, B2B research agent that deliberately abandons the instantaneous text generation of modern chatbots in favor of deep, long-horizon reasoning.
What sets Marlin apart from the current ecosystem of AI tools is its temporal scale: instead of returning an answer in seconds, it runs continuous, self-governing reasoning loops for up to eight hours at a time to deliver deeply researched, well cited, 100-page strategy reports.
Neither Sakana AI nor its external AI service providers will use customer data or inputs for model training or fine-tuning unless the client provides explicit opt-in consent.
