AI service specialist company ESTsoft (CEO Jung Sang-won) announced on the 26th that it has launched the conversational AI service 'Alan'. Thus, ESTsoft has entered the very large language model market by introducing LLM (Large Language Model) application services.

Alan is a 'conversational AI service' developed using the existing LLM models ChatGPT and GPT-4, allowing more people to easily access AI technology and enjoy its benefits.

The development of Alan was achieved in conjunction with the corporate philosophy of ESTsoft, which led innovation in the computer usage environment with utility programs collectively referred to as ALTools, such as ALZip and ALYac, during the early days of the domestic software industry, and the coming of the generative AI era.

The service name Alan embodies respect for 'Alan Turing,' known as the father of computer science, and is expected to be used as ESTsoft's AI brand in the future.

The strength of Alan lies in overcoming the limitations inherent in existing GPT models, suppressing hallucination phenomena to an extreme degree, and providing up-to-date information. In particular, the context reasoning function of GPT-4 has been enhanced to accurately understand the intent of questions and induce natural conversations by providing answers that include the latest information.

The answer information is provided with sources, and to enable users to explore deeper information, it generates additional questions to propose. Additionally, if users present links to specific web pages, it analyzes the information from those pages and provides summaries.

Thus, Alan processes and provides the latest information necessary for everyday life such as weather, news, and movies being released, but also shows excellent performance in understanding the trends of a specific market or finding methodologies for problem-solving.

In the future, Alan will focus on the domestic usage environment while adding conversational AI assistant functions to satisfy a specific customer base. Closely followed by the early next year, a developer-exclusive mode will be made public. Through this, it will provide the latest documents or specialized knowledge from forums necessary for programming, and respond to various development tasks.

Following the successful introduction of various AI human services in many industries, ESTsoft has launched the conversational AI service Alan and is further intensifying its immersion in the generative AI industry.

ESTsoft CEO Jung Sang-won stated, "As ESTsoft's AI brand that dreams of a more convenient world with AI, we aim to grow Alan," adding, "In the future, we will make it a conversational AI assistant that's essential for the Korean market, enabling more people to experience innovative AI technology and receive assistance."
