LangGenius Convenes IF Con Tokyo 2026 as Dify Users Describe Life After Adoption
The conference agenda has moved past tool selection to operational design, and the concrete numbers presented (roughly 60,000 Dify users at NTT Docomo, roughly 11,000 apps at Ricoh) show the platform question is now about governance and reconnecting workflows rather than adoption.

LangGenius, developer of the Dify Agentic AI development platform, held IF Con Tokyo 2026 on September 10 at Tokyo Convention Hall. Speakers from Upgrade Inc., ITOCHU Techno-Solutions, Internet Initiative Japan, NTT Data, NTT Docomo, Kyoshin, the City of Kobe, Japan Electronics and Computer Corporation, Yanmar Holdings, and Ricoh covered deployment and operations. LangGenius's Zhang Luyu argued that per-person AI gains do not by themselves change company-level lead times.
Panels at IF Con Tokyo 2026 listed Dify installed at scale: NTT Docomo described a platform usable by about 60,000 people, with batch and real-time processing run side by side and permissions kept intact. Ricoh reported growth to about 11,000 apps, roughly 5,000 developer users, and about 1,000 workspaces over about two years, while IIJ counted about 400 editor-role users and more than 1,000 apps as of August 2026.
The program's common thread was what happens after the tools land. NTT Data's session addressed splitting roles between Dify and existing systems rather than building everything in Dify alone.
