ESTsoft has substantially improved the quality and usability of its AI humans through service advances.
ESTsoft (CEO Chung Sang-won), a company specializing in AI services, announced on the 21st that it is launching a new version of Korea Investment & Securities' AI analyst Han Ji-a.
Han Ji-a is the AI human representing Korea Investment & Securities. Created in December last year with ESTsoft's AI Persona technology, which generates virtual people who do not exist in the world, she currently appears actively in two segments introducing the firm's market analysis reports: 'Show Me the Report' and 'Three-Minute Overseas Stock Fighter'.
Over the past six months AI human Han Ji-a has produced some 550 pieces of content, proving the usability of ESTsoft's AI humans. Korea Investment & Securities plans to make active use of Han Ji-a in basic investment education content as well.
The new Han Ji-a, unveiled about six months on, carries ESTsoft's further improved world-class Text to Speech (TTS) technology along with new clothing options.
In this round of work the two companies focused on refining TTS, since Han Ji-a's work spans securities, economics and industry and demands a high level of vocabulary; new voices were also added so that speech can convey a different mood from before.
Video editing features were also improved for mobile and social media. With video platforms such as YouTube Shorts and Meta Reels in mind, controls for aspect ratio and playback speed were added, making it easy to produce vertical (9:16) video and fast-paced video suited to short running times.
Through this work ESTsoft has achieved ▲stronger AI human speech quality ▲additional clothing options and ▲mobile optimization, further strengthening the competitiveness of its AI human and video production solution 'AI Studio Perso'.
Byun Kye-pung, Director of ESTsoft's AI Business Division, said: "The goal of this work was to secure a decisive competitive advantage by maximizing the practical impact of AI humans, combining our existing hyper-realistic likenesses with stronger TTS voice technology and expanded content capability," adding, "Having proved and advanced the usability of AI humans to a degree rarely seen even in global markets, we will make full use of Microsoft's multilingual speech technology, which we recently integrated successfully, and do everything necessary to take our AI human services global."
The new version of AI human analyst Han Ji-a can be seen where she already appears, in Korea Investment & Securities' 'Show Me the Report' and 'Three-Minute Overseas Stock Fighter'.
