KT to Support 'Giga Genie AI API' Service on Cloud Service 'UCloud Biz'
Planning to expand various API services starting with voice recognition, conversation, and translation APIs


KT announced on the 28th that it will launch the 'Giga Genie AI API (Application Programming Interface)' service that supports application development based on artificial intelligence (AI) 'Giga Genie' on its enterprise cloud 'UCloud Biz'.

An API refers to a collection of source code designed to enable developers to easily create desired applications without requiring specialized programming skills. Generally, developing AI-based services required IT infrastructure such as servers and storage, as well as artificial intelligence programming expertise, which consumed considerable time and cost. However, by utilizing KT's cloud platform's Giga Genie AI API, it is possible to implement AI services more easily and reliably while saving time and cost.


The Giga Genie AI API provides voice recognition, conversation, and translation services. The voice recognition function has been applied to KT's artificial intelligence service 'Giga Genie' and is characterized by high user speech recognition accuracy. The conversation function identifies the speaker's intent from natural language sentences and provides responses according to predefined dialogue models. The translation function supports Korean sentences translated into English, Japanese, and Chinese, and conversely supports translation from English, Japanese, and Chinese into Korean, enabling bidirectional translation.

Going forward, the Giga Genie AI API will expand to include additional functions such as speech synthesis and media, starting with voice recognition, conversation, and translation capabilities. Beyond artificial intelligence, KT plans to expand its own platform ecosystem by linking its major platform businesses including blockchain and IoT with cloud services.

Shin Su-jung, Senior Vice President of KT's IT Planning Division, stated, "With the launch of this 'Giga Genie AI API' product, we are now able to provide KT's excellent artificial intelligence technology to a broader user base," and added, "Going forward, KT will provide customers with an optimal AI service development environment through the integration of cloud and AI services, while expanding our service offerings by incorporating diverse platform businesses across various sectors."

    KT가 국내 개발자들을 위해 단기 수익에 관심을 기울이기 보다 개방된 생태계 조성에 관심을 가지기를 바랍니다.
