[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Cho] KT is partnering with Kwangdong Pharmaceutical to launch a simple ordering service that allows customers to purchase Jeju Samdasoo through the AI speaker Giga Genie.


On the 15th, KT announced that it signed a business agreement with Kwangdong Pharmaceutical at Kwangdong Pharmaceutical's headquarters in Seocho-gu, Seoul, to launch the 'AI Bottled Water Simple Ordering Service.'


The AI Bottled Water Simple Ordering Service utilizes KT's voice recognition, personalized AI technology, address information, and Kwangdong Pharmaceutical's distribution capabilities to enable easy ordering of Jeju Samdasoo with just voice commands through Giga Genie. It also predicts customers' consumption patterns and notifies them by voice when it is time to purchase bottled water in advance. The two companies plan to collaborate on new service marketing in the future.


Junmo Koo, Head of Bottled Water Business Division (Executive Director) at Kwangdong Pharmaceutical, explained the background of the service launch: "Bottled water is heavy, making it difficult to purchase in large quantities at once, and its large volume makes storage inconvenient, so customers have to buy it repeatedly whenever needed. To solve these inconveniences, we are strengthening simple ordering services and convenient home delivery services."



Joonki Choi, Head of AI and Big Data Business Division (Executive Director) at KT, said, "We plan to expand the AI simple ordering service in cooperation with Kwangdong Pharmaceutical, a leader in the bottled water distribution sector. We will continue to introduce services that allow customers to conveniently order through AI."
