[AI Revolution](62) Tackling Corporate AI Challenges with 'AI Store'... Dalpa

Anyone Can Implement AI in Work Without AI Technology or Experts
Easy, Fast, and Cost-Effective Advantages

We are truly in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). From large corporations to small business owners, everyone is interested in AI. However, it is not easy to find places that properly utilize AI unless they are specialized companies. Without experts, it is difficult to know which tasks AI can be introduced to, how to apply it, and how to continuously update and manage it. This is why AI remains a distant story for many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small business owners who find it hard to hire AI experts.

CEO Kim Do-gyun is explaining Dalpa's business.

Dalpa is an AI startup that has stepped up to solve this problem. It supports companies without AI experts to easily and quickly adopt AI and apply it to their business. Founded this January by graduates from Seoul Science High School and Seoul National University, Dalpa’s name comes from the phrase "Data discovers your Alpha." Alpha refers to innovative products or services, and Dalpa represents solving the difficulties companies face when adopting AI.

The first initiative was the 'AI Store.' It offers various AI solutions such as product category automation, text and image search, review analysis, and chatbot creation for customer service. It also provides AI based on large-scale models like ChatGPT. Customers can first select the needed solution from Dalpa AI Store and run a demo to see if it truly fits their business needs. Once adoption is decided, Dalpa provides optimized AI solutions using the company’s own data and data secured by Dalpa. No costs are incurred until actual use begins. By paying a monthly subscription fee, customers receive continuous updates and management. CEO Kim explained, "Many companies want to use AI but struggle because they don’t know what or how to do it. Due to these issues, although AI technology is rapidly advancing, the market has not grown much. We opened the AI Store to innovate companies’ AI experience."

The satisfaction of adopting companies is high. For example, Open Survey automated the processing of survey responses using Dalpa’s review analysis AI, reducing the time required by more than 600 times compared to manual processing. The market has already recognized Dalpa’s potential. The company raised 1.3 billion KRW in seed investment from Primer Sazze, Dunamu & Ventures, and Spring Camp, and was selected for the Deep Tech TIPS program, a private investment-led technology startup support program by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, securing up to 1.7 billion KRW in research and development funds over three years. CEO Kim said, "Companies always think about reducing costs and maximizing sales, and AI can provide an excellent solution for this. Dalpa will strive to create solutions that enable companies to adopt AI quickly, easily, and at a reasonable cost."
