Based on this, each team carried out real-world projects in four areas: △Customer support and communication automation △Work and document process automation △Data and system operation automation △AI advancement based on Woongjin industry-specific solutions (WDMS·WRMS).
In this hackathon, various ideas were proposed, such as △'AI Grievance Counseling Analysis System' that visualizes risks by having AI directly counsel and analyze data △'AI ERP Analysis Tool' that supports financial forecasting and anomaly detection by analyzing ERP data with generative AI △'Multilingual Voice of Customer (VOC) System' that serves overseas customers with a single Korean manual.
Woongjin evaluated the AI utilization, creativity, business value, and completeness of the projects to select the award-winning works. For the selected ideas, feasibility will be reviewed and further development will be pursued.
Lee Sooyoung, CEO of Woongjin, said, "I hope all employees will experience AI directly and lead business innovation and customer-centric services based on it," adding, "In an era where ideas become competitiveness beyond experience and technology, Woongjin will lead market changes through the convergence of technology and data."
