It is an AI agent that negotiates prices with supplier representatives on behalf of a company's purchasing team. It analyzes the competitive landscape, purchase volume and price indices to set a target price and a strategy, then negotiates with the supplier in a conversation. Each outcome is recorded and feeds the strategy for the next negotiation.

Yes. It is in commercial use in KT Commerce's integrated purchasing (The Korea Economic Daily, September 2025). The solution was developed with KT Commerce on tens of thousands of real transactions.

Applied at a large enterprise, it handles tens of thousands of negotiations a year and improved the average margin by about 5–6% (The Korea Economic Daily, February 2026). Because the AI handles repetitive negotiations, volume is no longer capped by headcount or office hours, and every negotiation is kept as data.

It is built for purchasing and SCM teams at large and mid-sized companies, MRO and corporate welfare malls, and public-sector integrated purchasing, where price negotiations repeat at volume. At Photonics Korea 2025 in November 2025, AIO2O demonstrated raw-material purchase negotiation for photonics manufacturers.

Enter a website, Naver Map or blog URL into ADO2 and an AI agent collects and analyzes the business information. It then creates promotional images, videos and songs suited to the business type, and finished videos can be downloaded or posted straight to social media. Distribution and performance tracking follow in the same flow.

Yes. A business that is not listed on Naver Map or Naver Place can enter its name, area and street address to have lyrics, music and a video created (ADO2 service screen, September 2026).

In July 2026, AIO2O signed an MOU with the Geumnam Market merchants association in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and took on promotional video production, channel setup, uploads and operation for this market of about 135 stores with more than 60 years of history. In May 2026, an MOU with Podium & Company made the cosmetics brand Gangnam Miin the starting point for its global marketing. ADO2, co-developed with KT, was unveiled at the KT Win-Win Pavilion at MWC 2026.

It is an AI service that runs right on the device, with a lightweight LLM on the SoC. It is used to improve speech recognition and noise reduction in broadcast and telecom set-top boxes. It builds on the CEO's experience developing and commercializing KT's AI set-top box, GiGA Genie (The Korea Economic Daily, February 2026).

Set-top boxes run by broadcasters and telecom carriers are the main target, and manufacturers of set-top boxes and home appliances can adopt it too. Since its founding in 2017, AIO2O has commercialized AI voice and metadata-based services, and in November 2025 it presented its technology to Asia-Pacific broadcasters and media companies at the 2025 APAC TV Summit in Bangkok.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of organizing a web page's text and structured data so that AI assistants and search services can read its information accurately and cite it when they compose answers. AIO2O's WebforAI prepares a business's official information so that AI search can read and cite it accurately.

SEO prepares pages so they appear well in search result listings, while AEO organizes a page's text and structured data so that AI answer services can find its information accurately and cite it as a source. Both rely on the same basics: text in the HTML that crawlers can read, robots.txt, a sitemap and structured data.

Agentic AI is AI that takes a goal set by a person, gathers the information it needs, and plans and carries out multi-step tasks on its own. Unlike a typical chatbot, it does not stop at answering questions: it uses tools, checks the results and keeps the work going. AIO2O's AI negotiation agent applies this approach to negotiating prices with suppliers in conversation.

Unlike cloud AI, which sends data to remote servers for processing, on-device AI runs its computation on a chip inside the device itself, such as a smartphone or a set-top box. Because nothing has to cross the network, it responds quickly and does not need to send personal data such as voice outside the device. AIO2O's on-device AI uses this approach to handle speech recognition inside set-top boxes.

Hyperlocal marketing targets customers in a small area, such as a neighborhood or a shopping district, and tailors promotion to that area's information and channels. AIO2O signed an MOU with KT to commercialize ADO2 as an AI hyperlocal marketing platform for small businesses (December 2025).
