On the 26th, SK Telecom’s AI service ‘A.Dot’ will transform into a personal assistant designed to assist with daily convenience through a major service overhaul.

The biggest features of this overhaul include ▲ a natural conversation experience based on LLM (Large Language Model), ▲ enhanced functions for managing the customer’s daily life, and ▲ a better experience utilizing professional services through diverse agents such as music, media, securities, and movie reservations. To achieve this, the existing structure has been greatly improved, and a new UX has been completely revamped to facilitate flexible conversations with LLM-based agents.

First, A.Dot introduces a ‘Daily’ feature that allows users to integrate management of tasks, schedules, and records. This merger simplifies the functionality spread across various features like calendars, to-do lists, routines, and sleep tracking, making it easier for customers to manage all their daily tasks and records in one place.

Furthermore, instead of manually entering information, users can simply tell A.Dot their appointments, meetings, and to-dos, which will be saved and managed seamlessly. The assistant improves the everyday ‘AI assistant’ experience by providing tailored suggestions based on various factors like weather, traffic, and the customer’s preferences and tastes when executing scheduled events and appointments.

A.Dot also offers interaction with a multi-LLM agent that combines global advanced LLMs, allowing users to experience a variety of conversational AI models such as Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude, and A.X (including Perplexity, A.X, ChatGPT 3.5 turbo, ChatGPT 4, Claude haiku, Claude opus, and Claude sonnet).

Users can select the engine according to their needs to receive answers and easily compare responses to the same question from different models.

Even though the purposes and advantages of each available large language model (LLM) differ, having to make multiple payments or switch between various services can be cumbersome. A.Dot allows users to conveniently access and compare responses from the latest seven LLMs in one place, free of charge for the time being.

Notably, the Perplexity service, first introduced through A.Dot, has been co-developed for AI search specialized in Korean, and it is expected that combining the technological expertise of both companies will provide an optimal AI search service in the future.

Additionally, specialized agent services tailored to various sectors such as music, media, securities, and T-membership movie reservations enhance the richness and completeness of the AI experience.

The music and media agents offer deep interactive dialogue in their respective fields, providing information related to music and video content. The securities agent not only delivers market information but also provides crucial details such as individual company performance, public disclosures, and stock subscription schedules quickly and easily.

In particular, the T-membership movie reservation service enables users to book tickets as if conversing with a cinema employee, recommending movies and theaters based on preferences and history, thus streamlining the booking process. A.Dot also provides reminders as the reservation time approaches, creating a complete AI assistant experience.

From August 30 to September 30, SK Telecom will conduct a marketing campaign offering a popcorn combo worth 7,000 won to customers who make CGV movie reservations through T-membership from the A.Dot App, available to the first users.

Kim Yong-hoon, head of SK Telecom’s AI Service Division, stated, “Through this overhaul of A.Dot, customers will enjoy a more convenient and natural conversation experience as if communicating with a real personal assistant. We will continue to innovate, providing AI services that save customers time and enhance convenience.”
