Presentation on Cases of Internal Productivity Improvement Through AI

Woowa Brothers, the operator of Baedal Minjok (Baemin), announced on the 7th that it will hold the ‘Woowa Tech Conference 2024’ (Woocon 2024) on the 30th of this month at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Woocon is a technology conference event where Woowa Brothers share their technical achievements and experiences, and communicate about the future and vision they dream of.

Marking its fifth year, Woocon will be held under the theme ‘All the Technologies Needed for One Delivery,’ continuing from last year. The event will feature a total of about 30 presentation sessions along with various event booths and networking spaces.

In the opening note that kicks off Woocon 2024, Song Jaeha, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Woowa Brothers, and Benjamin Mann, CTO of Delivery Hero, will appear as speakers to share achievements in global talent development and technology exchange. Following this, Han Donghoon, Technical Director of Woowa Brothers’ Data Science Group, will present cases of service improvement and internal productivity enhancement using AI technology and data analysis.

Especially this year, Woocon has strengthened communication by preparing participatory sessions such as the Ignite Track and Mentoring Track to allow participants to discuss technology more closely. The Ignite Track consists of sessions with short presentations and discussions. Presenters recruited through prior applications will give approximately 5-minute presentations on topics such as career growth stories, open source participation experiences, development culture, and generative AI utilization, followed by free discussions. Anyone attending Woocon on the day can freely observe these sessions.

There is also a Mentoring Track prepared for developers working in the same industry and participants aspiring to careers in the IT industry. Experienced Woowa Brothers employees participate as mentors in this session to deeply share their insights and engage in discussions with mentees.

A booth showcasing AI technologies applied to Baedal Minjok has also been set up. At the AI booth, cases and services of AI technologies applied to Baemin, such as ‘Menu Ddukddak AI,’ which recommends menus to customers based on GPT, will be introduced.

CTO Song Jaeha said, “Woocon will be an opportunity to actively share and connect the know-how and competitiveness accumulated as a leading domestic IT company with the outside world.”
