SEOUL, August 26, 2024 – SK Telecom, announced a complete overhaul of its innovative artificial intelligence (AI) service, ‘A.’ (A-DoT). The revamp aims to transform the A. app into an AI personal assistant focused on enhancing daily convenience for customers.

The most significant feature of this revamp is the enhancement of natural conversation experience based on a large language model (LLM) and the strengthening of daily management functions through multi-agents. The entire user experience (UX) has been overhauled to enable flexible conversations with an LLM-based agent.

A. has integrated all essential functions into the new ‘Daily’ feature, including calendar, tasks, schedules, routines and sleep. This enables comprehensive management of all aspects of a user’s daily routines.

Users can save and manage appointments, meetings, to-dos and more through voice commands, reducing the need for conventional, tedious typing. Moreover, the new service greatly enhances the daily AI personal assistant experience by providing customized suggestions tailored to the user’s personal situation, preferences and other factors, such as alerting the user to weather or traffic conditions before their appointments.

In the updated A. app, users can access an array of seven multi-LLM agents. These include Perplexity, A.X, ChatGPT 3.5 turbo, ChatGPT 4o, Claude Haiku, Claude Opus and Claude Sonnet. Each agent offers unique conversational AI capabilities tailored to the user’s specific needs. Users can select an LLM engine that aligns with objectives, enabling them to compare responses from various models for the same query. These features will be provided free of charge for the time being.

In addition, the app provides specialized agent services across various fields, including music, media and stocks, ensuring a comprehensive and immersive user experience.

“The A. overhaul ensures a more natural and convenient conversational experience as if the users are interacting with a real personal assistant,” said Kim Yonghun, Vice President and Head of the AI Service Business Division at SKT. “We will continue to innovate to provide AI services that save our customers’ precious time and enhance convenience and quality of life.”

SEOUL, South Korea, July 9, 2024– THINKFREE, a subsidiary of the world-class AI technology company HANCOM, has launched the beta version of Refinder AI, an AI search and Q&A solution targeting the global corporate market.

Refinder AI is an AI service that enables integrated searches of massive data scattered across numerous business platforms used by an enterprise, regardless of the data sources and relations. Linking all productivity and collaboration platforms such as Gmail, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, Slack and Notion, it provides an all-in-one service for finding web content, office documents, PDF files, emails, messages, etc., saved in the platforms. It is characterized by fast and accurate answers provided on the basis of verified data within the boundaries of the respective enterprise.

Notably, in addition to simple data searches, Refinder AI also plays the role of an assistant. When a user enters a query or a search word, the AI understands the meaning of the query and the user’s intention, and provides an answer in natural language by combining information with the highest accuracy and relevance from the data scattered across the enterprise. It provides results by accessing all platforms through a single search so the user doesn’t have to search every platform or memorize where information is saved.

As the service handles corporate data saved in various platforms, the level of security has been reinforced. Refinder AI is designed to not search critical data for unauthorized users. The AI provides answers by referring only to data that have been authorized by the company that introduced the solution. In particular, unlike other corporate search solutions, it does not require a separate development process. And various applications used by an enterprise can be conveniently loaded.

“While the amount of data generated and retained each year by enterprises across the world is increasing at an exponential rate, the rate of effective data use in business is very low,” said THINKFREE CEO Kim Du-yeong. “THINKFREE will target the global cloud market with Refinder AI, and grow into a company that draws the world’s attention by combining HANCOM’s world-class document technology with advanced AI technologies.”
