[THE INVESTOR] SK Telecom on Oct. 24 showcased an open online platform that allows outside developers to create services for its artificial intelligence speaker NUGU.
The platform -- NUGU Developers -- allows anyone access to design and create AI services that would eventually bolster the company’s voice assistant NUGU without the need to know a complicated coding process.
NUGU -- the country’s first AI-based advanced voice recognition speaker -- has provided a total of 36 services since its launch two years ago, securing over 6 million active users.
SK Telecom forecasts its AI platform will open up wider applications beyond homes and advance further into users’ everyday lives, such as shopping and education.
