‘Iljaller’ Essential Work Apps Popular Among MZ Generation Employees

Improving Work Efficiency and Skills with AI Phone, Schedule, and Business Card Management

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Apps that help improve work efficiency are gaining popularity mainly among MZ generation office workers.

According to industry sources on the 28th, a variety of work efficiency support apps have become essential tools for young office workers, ranging from ‘AI Phone’ for workers who handle many phone calls, ‘schedule management’, ‘business card management’, ‘lecture platforms’ for career advancement, to ‘video production’ for marketers.

Converting Call Content into Text for Management

Bito, an Android-only app, automatically saves call recordings as text in real time. There is no need to remember phone conversations one by one or set aside separate time to organize them. Users can easily check call recordings through search and replay desired calls. It features various functions such as partial playback, editing, exporting, and note-taking, allowing flexible use.

Not only office workers who want to record and manage call content but also the general public use the service, increasing the cumulative downloads from 91,000 in July last year to 380,000 recently. The cumulative voice recognition processing time also grew from 130,000 hours in July last year to 2.1 million hours as of the same month this year, showing more than 16 times growth compared to the previous year.

A Bito representative said, "We recently succeeded in developing technology that detects not only human voices but also ARS (Automated Response System) voices and completed a service update. We also significantly improved spelling and spacing functions." He added, "We are expanding our service globally beyond Korea by launching the Chinese version of Bito called ‘Sujibao’ on Tencent’s app market in China."

Efficient Schedule Management on PC and Mobile

For office workers who often forget their schedules, schedule management is essential. ‘Google Calendar’, which can be used with just a Google account, is available not only on PC but also on mobile. Its intuitive interface allows even first-time users to easily use the schedule management features. It supports schedule management by month, week, and day units, and users can enter related details as well as add attachments and locations. Additionally, different colors can be assigned to each schedule, allowing important events to be highlighted with eye-catching colors.

Another advantage is that users can share their schedules with others and synchronize calendars with colleagues. Furthermore, with the normalization of remote work and widespread video meetings, users can select the desired date for a meeting in Google Calendar and click the ‘Add video meeting’ button to easily schedule online meetings using ‘Google Meet’.

Basic Networking, Apps That Easily Help Organize Business Cards

It is now an era where managing numerous business cards from business encounters is done through apps. ‘Remember’ is a leading domestic business card management app service that accurately inputs business card information by combining OCR technology and human handwriting verification when a business card received for work is photographed.

When a business card is registered in Remember, there is no need to separately save the contact on the phone; the caller’s business card information is automatically displayed when receiving a call. The registered business card information can be saved to the phone’s Google contacts or stored as an Excel file. Users can easily search business card information anytime and anywhere using keywords such as name, company, department, and position. Additionally, among members, the latest business card information such as job changes, promotions, and birthdays is automatically updated, making it easier to manage networks meticulously.

An industry official explained, "Many office workers aspire to be ‘Iljaller’ (a term for a highly competent worker), but it is not easy to achieve. In this situation, the need for various apps that assist with work processing is increasing." He added, "Various apps that enhance work efficiency are fulfilling the role of personal assistants for office workers and faithfully acting as supporters for Iljaller."
