ESTsoft (CEO Chung Sang-won), a company specializing in AI services, announced on the 14th that it has been selected as a supplier for the fifth consecutive year in the 'AI Voucher Support Program' co-organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency, and is now recruiting participating companies.
The program is one of the Digital New Deal initiatives created to accelerate AI-based digital transformation and strengthen technological competitiveness, helping companies that need AI technology make use of the products and services of competitive AI companies.
Support is worth up to KRW 200 million — meaning companies looking to adopt ESTsoft's AI solutions can use a voucher worth KRW 200 million. It is limited to small and mid-sized companies, and applications are accepted after an enquiry and consultation with ESTsoft. The deadline is 3 p.m. on the 20th.
Through the AI Voucher Support Program, ESTsoft offers its AI products and services including 'AI Studio PERSO' for AI human production and operation and 'PERSO LIVE', a conversational AI human service combined with ChatGPT.
Each product and service offers strong versatility. High-quality AI humans and LLM application services work on web and mobile and integrate easily with devices such as digital TVs and kiosks, so they can be used in a wide range of settings.
ESTsoft's AI humans are in fact being used actively across many fields — senior care at local governments and education and information delivery at public institutions and companies — including Gimhae City, the National Information Society Agency, the Korea Expressway Corporation, LG Energy Solution, DGB Daegu Bank and YBM.
For this program ESTsoft, as an AI Voucher supplier, will put the collaboration know-how it has built over many years and its strengthened AI products and services behind participating companies' service innovation and business model advancement.
Kook Young-ja, Head of ESTsoft's AI Human Business Center, said: "ESTsoft's AI products and services, proven effective for service innovation and business model advancement at Korean small and mid-sized companies, will be a great help," adding, "Having been selected as a supplier for five consecutive years, we take that as a responsibility and will do our utmost in running the program."
