KT·Hyundai Commercial Apply Giga Genie to 'GoTruck' App

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT announced on the 14th that it will provide Giga Genie artificial intelligence (AI) voice recognition services to the mobile app ‘GoTruck’ for commercial vehicle owners, in partnership with Hyundai Commercial.

The AI voice recognition service of GoTruck is provided based on KT’s proprietary ‘Giga Genie Inside.’ Giga Genie Inside is a cloud AI platform that allows the use of Giga Genie services such as voice recognition by installing software on various devices including refrigerators, air conditioners, and automobiles.

GoTruck is a mobile app launched by Hyundai Commercial in March this year for commercial vehicle customers. It offers convenient features such as ‘Find a Job,’ which recommends customized jobs by entering experience and other information; ‘Manage,’ which guides vehicle-related stores; and ‘Drive,’ which shows traffic CCTV and nearby gas stations. Within two months of its launch, it surpassed 120,000 cumulative downloads and 60,000 registered members, receiving favorable reviews from commercial vehicle owners.

With the application of Giga Genie Inside to the GoTruck app this time, GoTruck users can check their current location and find preferred gas stations for freight trucks using voice commands while driving. It is also possible to listen to notices provided by affiliated logistics companies and associations, as well as news from commercial vehicle newspapers. In the future, functions to execute major service menus of GoTruck will be added step by step.

KT and Hyundai Commercial plan to develop and additionally apply various AI voice recognition functions for commercial vehicle owners to GoTruck. To this end, the two companies have agreed to jointly review commercial vehicle driving methods and commercial vehicle life cycles. Kim Chae-hee, Head of KT AI/Big Data Business Division (Executive Director), said, “We expect that applying Giga Genie AI to the ‘GoTruck’ app, which is loved by many commercial vehicle owners, will make its use more convenient,” and added, “KT will continue to introduce warm AI technologies for each citizen across various industries.”
