“Liner has been working to offer users with the search information they need for the past eight years. I imagine that the source selection ability of artificial intelligence (AI) search is by far the most effective.”
AI search services are hot today. Google released ‘AI Overview’ last May, and OpenAI recently released ‘Search GPT’ in response. As well as, Perplexity is taken into account a Google rival, and Microsoft (MS) can also be known to be preparing full-scale AI search.
There’s also a representative company in generative AI search in Korea. It’s one in every of the primary corporations in Korea and overseas to introduce generative AI to look. The primary character is Liner (CEO Jinwoo Kim), who launched an AI search service in July of last yr.
Yoon Seok-jin, Head of US Operations at Liner, is the corporate’s ‘vanguard’ because he directly experiences the most recent trends and user reactions on the local corporation positioned in San Francisco, USA.
Director Yoon first addressed the issue of AI search illusions, which recently became a hot topic in the US.
“To unravel the illusion, users must give you the chance to directly confirm whether the answers provided by AI are accurate,” he said. “It will be important to offer a reliable source with an optimized interface (UI) and user experience (UX).”
He also emphasized that “the Liner AI search service goes beyond easy answers and provides highly relevant and accurate sources for every sentence.”
‘Source selection’ is a really familiar and differentiated a part of Liner. Inspired by the indisputable fact that it was difficult to search out exactly what you wanted in Google search, we introduced an internet highlighting service that designates the parts that users responded to essentially the most since our founding in 2015. Since then, we’ve gathered data of 10 million people over the past 8 years.
The AI search service introduced in July of last yr focused on the indisputable fact that ‘people still don’t 100% trust AI’, and introduced a way of choosing and displaying the source for every sentence within the search results.
Because of this, it quickly gained a good response from users in over 220 countries all over the world.
Specifically, it ranked 4th on the planet by way of monthly web visits within the ‘Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps’ announced by Andreessen Horowitz in March. On the time, ‘ChatGPT’ ranked 1st, ‘Gemini’ ranked 2nd, and ‘Character.AI’ ranked third. Antropic’s ‘Claude’ and ‘Perplexity’, and Quora’s ‘4’ were below the liner.
“That is the results of specializing in solving the difficulties users face when looking for and acquiring information,” said CEO Yoon Seok-jin. “We’re conducting user interviews directly in the US, which accounts for 60% of paid subscription users, and are going on the market to get even yet another piece of feedback,” he explained.
It was reported that they’re aware of the needs of not only Liner users but in addition potential customers who haven’t yet used the Liner AI search service. In addition they introduced a review from a UC Berkeley PhD student who said, “I used to be surprised to see that the Liner service reflected my suggestions for improvement in lower than every week.”
Amongst Liner users, the proportion of world users is as high as 90%. “In Korea, Liner is utilized by investors who need to sustain with tech trends and office employees who’re involved in AI, and within the US, the vast majority of users are college students and students in master’s and doctoral programs,” he explained.
He continued, “As students acquire specialized knowledge and conduct in-depth research, finding information from reliable sources quickly and simply becomes competitive,” adding, “Now we have been improving our services by specializing in the essence of providing reliable information tailored to the needs of users.”
The recently launched ‘Academic Mode’ was also revealed to be the results of reflecting feedback from the primary user base.
When you select the educational mode on the primary page of the Liner AI search and enter a question, you possibly can receive in-depth answers citing academic papers and journals. It provides reliable sources and answers by linking to the ‘AI Paper Search Service’ API, which provides information on over 200 million academic papers.
CEO Yoon also cited the gradual growth because the launch of the highlighting service in 2015 as a vital driving force.
“Within the means of developing and introducing the initial web highlighter feature, we learned find out how to select essential information, and within the means of curating content to suit individual tastes, we learned the ‘importance of personalization,'” he explained.
By incorporating this into AI technology and providing an AI search service that ‘provides accurate sources and makes you completely satisfied from the primary answer,’ it was reported that a greater response was received in the worldwide market.
He also emphasized that the difference from Google, OpenAI, and Perplexity lies within the know-how gathered over eight years. Yoon Head expressed confidence, saying, “Liner is unrivaled in providing sources of superior quality and quantity.”
Liner, which has secured 10 million users, goals to proceed its growth by securing users from various industries beyond specific classes akin to college students, master’s and doctoral students, and researchers.
CEO Yoon Seok-jin emphasized, “Because the AI search market heats up, latecomer services that publicize AI search services appear to be making various attempts,” and “The essential thing is to give attention to the essence of knowledge search.”
