Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is permeating everyday life. The AI technology that IT company workers knew years ago is now changing everyone's daily lives.
AI startup Upstage's 'AskUP' gained 30,000 channel friends on KakaoTalk just three days after its registration on the 9th. AskUP is a service that combines Upstage's optical character recognition (OCR) technology with ChatGPT. When users take or send a photo of a document, it reads, understands, and responds to the content, functioning as a kind of 'ChatGPT with eyes.'
The rapid increase in AskUP users is due to its accessibility. When actually used, it proved useful in various ways in daily life. For example, when asked to organize a photo of a medicine instruction leaflet, it summarized the content in sentences. It seems useful for summarizing long content or reorganizing printed material into documents. Since ChatGPT is applied, it also supports everyday conversations.
Domestic startups are leading the popularization of AI technology by launching various services.
Ryan Rocket recently released 'Spoky,' an image generation AI workflow web platform. This platform is based on image generation technology (TTI, text-to-image) that draws pictures according to the input text. One of the challenges students or office workers face when preparing presentation materials is finding images that match the content. Various AI services similar to Spoky are already being used in many fields.
Ruiten Technologies introduced 'Ruiten Document,' a sentence generation service for professional writing. It helps draft high-level business documents such as business plans and reports. In October last year, they launched 'Ruiten,' a content platform using generative AI. Ruiten, which creates drafts for advertisements, blog posts, and various writings, surpassed 100,000 monthly active users within four months of its launch.
Startups' technologies are also embedded in various AI services by Naver. Naver has invested in over 100 startups through its startup nurturing organization 'D2SF.' Many of these are AI-related companies. CrowdWorks, which developed AI training data collection and processing solutions, is collaborating with Naver's representative AI services such as Clova and Papago.
