[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Polaris Office, a specialist in office software, announced on the 18th that it has signed a strategic business agreement with Allganize, a natural language understanding AI solution company, to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) services into the knowledge management solution Confluence.


The two companies plan to introduce an AI answer bot service to Atlassian's knowledge management solution Confluence, provided by Polaris Office, and enhance the search service to explore joint marketing and business expansion strategies.


They plan to integrate Allganize's natural language understanding AI solution ‘Alli’ into Confluence to provide accurate and fast search results. Allganize will research and develop the AI answer bot service based on Confluence, while Polaris Office will provide technical consulting, development, distribution, and customer customization.


A Polaris Office representative said, “By integrating Alli into Confluence, which accumulates vast data and numerous pages, we will provide fast and accurate information search services,” adding, “We plan to enhance the search function so that information from posts written in Confluence, attached document files uploaded to Confluence, and even complex table formats created in Confluence can be extracted as answers.”


Polaris Office is an official platinum partner of Atlassian, the global leader in collaboration services. It provides implementation, consulting, technical support, and training services for various Atlassian solutions including Confluence, project management solution Jira, IT service management solution Jira Service Management, code management collaboration solution Bitbucket, and build automation solution Bamboo. Recently, with the strengthening of internal accounting management issues and the expansion of the application scope of the new external audit law, the importance of corporate IT system operation and management has been highlighted, leading to increased demand for Atlassian.


Allganize is an AI startup founded by Lee Changsoo, a well-known entrepreneur in the AI industry, and develops and supplies the AI answer bot ‘Alli’ and cognitive search solutions based on natural language understanding AI. The AI startup Five Rocks, established in 2010, was acquired 100% by the US mobile advertising company Tapjoy in 2014 for 40 billion KRW. Allganize currently provides services to more than 1,800 clients in the US, Japan, and Korea, aiming to provide its AI solutions to the management infrastructure of all companies.



Alli is an AI solution that requires no prior data tagging work. It automatically finds answers to questions from unstructured text documents such as internal Q&A (FAQ), MS Office, PDF, and various attached files. It can accurately derive answers to everyday sentences (natural language) questions and is characterized by its compatibility with business software.
