Kyobo Bookstore Signs Business Agreement with MS... Utilizing AI in Creative Platform

Kyobo Book Centre announced on the 18th that it has signed a business agreement with Keytalk AI and Microsoft to revitalize a literature and creative creator platform utilizing generative AI (artificial intelligence). The plan is to apply Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service and Keytalk AI's natural language recommendation function to Kyobo Book Centre's creator support platform, 'Changjak-ui Nalssi' (Creative Weather).

According to Kyobo Book Centre, Microsoft will focus on the domestic service of 'Lewis' in collaboration with prompt engineering company Keytalk AI, and Kyobo Book Centre plans to link 'Lewis' to 'Changjak-ui Nalssi.' Keytalk AI provides various natural language expression recommendations. For example, 'time' can be expressed as 'transcending time,' and 'injustice' as 'standing against injustice.'

Launched officially in August 2022, 'Changjak-ui Nalssi' is a platform specialized for creation. It offers a writer community and expert one-on-one mentoring services. It is specialized in the mystery/thriller genre and is currently expanding into areas such as poetry and essays.

Kyobo Book Centre stated, "Through this collaboration, we aim to broaden the gateway for domestic creators and actively support creators," adding, "We hope that the application of AI technology to the K-content industry will evolve further and become an opportunity to gain global attention."

Microsoft Korea said, "We are honored to lower the entry barriers for domestic creators to generative AI and support their creative activities," and added, "Microsoft Korea will continue to actively support their activities and work together to develop the domestic creative ecosystem."
