On 14 October 2026, we held "Learn AI × social media with Ben Zain and Runable", a hands-on event at artia Gotanda in Tokyo. It was the first in-person event in Japan for the AI agent Runable, and S&U CEO Ben Zain took the stage.

Runable's two co-founders came from India

Runable is an AI agent that runs a small or solo business "from start to finish". It raised US$21 million in a Series A in August 2026. Co-founders Umesh Kumar (CEO) and Saksham Sarda flew in from India and showed how to use it in a live demo.

AI that delivers outcomes, not answers

In the Runable session, the team showed on screen how Runable takes a request all the way to a finished website or slide deck.

Participants handed real work to Runable

Everyone came with a laptop. In the hands-on session, all participants gave Runable the same brief and compared the results together.
