KB Securities Launches 'Stock AI', the First AI-Based Conversational Service in Securities Industry

KB Securities announced on the 27th that it has become the first securities company to open the 'Stock AI' service to customers, which uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) in 'M-able Mini' to provide interactive, customized investment information.

Stock AI is an advanced version of the employee-only service 'Stock GPT' launched in January, released for customers. It is a conversational (chat) type service equipped with technology that explores real-time investment information in the stock market and provides it in natural sentence form.

Through this service, investors can receive personalized answers to various problems they may face during investment. While there have been services in securities companies that provide one-way investment information using generative AI technology, KB Securities' Stock AI is the first to offer a conversational service. In other words, the AI-based conversational (chat) service similar to Chat GPT can now be experienced in the stock market.

The biggest advantage of the Stock AI service is that it summarizes and provides real-time issues related to stocks that investors hold or are interested in without requiring separate searches. This allows investors to grasp the causes of stock price fluctuations at a glance and respond quickly to rapid market changes.

In addition, example questions tailored to the latest trends are provided in three categories (market trend analysis, stock discovery, stock issue search) to make it easy for beginners to ask questions. The 'My Questions' feature, which saves frequently asked questions, enables faster searching of investment information. Furthermore, related supporting news, themes, stocks, and additional questions are provided along with answers to help ensure that investment advice obtained from Stock AI can lead to actual investments.

Kim Young-il, Head of KB Securities M-able Land Tribe, said, "Over the past year, we have continuously accumulated related technological capabilities to introduce generative AI into the securities market. The Stock AI service, the first result of this effort, can change the way investment information is searched from search to conversation, enabling both novice and professional investors to easily and quickly obtain high-quality information." He added, "KB Securities plans to continue providing various investment information in new ways based on Stock AI."

To commemorate the launch of the Stock AI service, KB Securities will hold a 'Stock AI Feedback Event' for about a month starting from the 3rd of next month. Customers who ask Stock AI investment information and leave three or more feedbacks such as 'Like' on the answers will be entered into a draw to receive Starbucks gifticons for 500 people. Customers who have agreed to receive pre-marketing communications will be automatically entered without separate event applications.

Additionally, KB Securities is preparing various service upgrades for M-able Mini. The home screen will be completely revamped based on customer usage data, and the trading process is being improved considering professional investors. New services such as real-time amount orders for overseas stocks will also be launched.

The Stock AI service is available to anyone with a KB Securities account through the M-able Mini app, and customers without an account can use it after opening one. Also, in the second quarter, the same service will be launched on the web trading system (WTS) 'M-able Wide.'
