Artificial Intelligence (AI) search specialist open research (CEO Kim Il -du) will launch its first update for ‘OO.AI’ in early June. Through this, the corporate plans to speed up growth and challenge 10 million users throughout the 12 months.
Open Research predicted a blast last month, surpassing 2 million MAUs. This was achieved inside nine weeks of launch.
Kim Il -du said, “We expect to exceed MAU 10 million this 12 months.”
The highest priority is to have a transparent performance to interchange existing search services. To begin with, we focused on improving the search speed and improving UX. Consequently, the update ‘Following query’ can be released in early June.
“The most important advantage of OAI is speed and intuitive UX and UI,” he said.
The update can be reduced from as much as 5 seconds to 1 to 2 seconds. Subsequently, the query can be tested for some users and can be distributed to the complete user inside two weeks.
It also adds a feature called ‘Reactive Table of Table of Table’, which has not been seen in other AI search or chatbots. Which means that when the conversation with AI is longer, the conversation context is organized on the left side of the screen.
While continuing to in -depth conversations with AI, it reflects feedback that the primary query may be missed. Kim said, “The AI agent era is getting closer and users are used to finding answers in depth in the shape of dialogue.”
Search accuracy and reasoning ability may even be improved.
The new edition of OAI has surpassed the performance of ‘Easy QA’ (SimpleQA), which evaluates the realities of huge language models (LLM), Search Augmentation (RAG), and reasoning ability, and ‘GPT-4O search preview’ and ‘Sona Pro’ of Percow City at ‘Frames’ benchmarks and ‘Sona Pro’ in ‘Frames’ benchmarks. I introduced it.
As such, the user expansion will begin in earnest from the June update, which has improved speed, UX and performance significantly improved.
Kim Il -du, a representative from Kakao Brain, founded Open -Rersi in July last 12 months with Baek Un -hyuk, a language model expert who oversees the event of KOGPT development. Although the AI search service, comparable to Purlex City, has been in full swing, he has been envisioning it for 4 to 5 years.
Ultimately, the corporate launched the beta service of nine team members and the beta service of ‘OO.AI’ in December 2024, and launched the official service in March 2025.
Like Purlex City, the most recent models of other corporations are optimized and used, however the core technology can also be as much as Open Research. “Pipeline engineering, which optimizes LLM decisions, comparable to reading web information, judging document priority and coordinating in context, is the important thing.” Additionally it is developing its own model, optimized for web search.
In this manner, OAII recorded a smooth start with 430,000 monthly lively users (MAU) within the fourth week.
Nonetheless, the word of mouth has grown steep growth. Two weeks later, they exceeded 1 million within the sixth week, and a couple of million within the ninth week. 10%of them are global users, including the USA and Japan. It’s because natural users have left positive comments in social media.
If enough users gather, they may consider adopting advertisements and linking shopping platforms. It is a recent concentrate on open AI and Puffllex City, which is a vital process to expand profit.
It was natural to have ads or shopping on AI searches. “You may present a classy goal commercial in consideration of user intentions, contexts, and tastes.” “In actual fact, there was an advertiser who desired to put a banner commercial on the primary screen on the day of the discharge of OAI.”
Open Research plans to introduce promoting or shopping in a way that’s different from the prevailing search. The POC was conducted by presenting user custom advertisements within the AI search answer, and in addition tested with the shopping platform.
Nonetheless, before adding promoting or payment services, he said, “The bottom line is whether AI can recommend AI quickly, the product required for consumers.”
The essential point is that it has been lower than a 12 months because the establishment of open research, and OAI is lower than half a 12 months after the service began. As Kim says, should you achieve 10 million users throughout the 12 months, it could be a typical for brand spanking new search beyond AI.
Kim also said, “AI search continues to be growing.” “For explosive growth, it’s the highest priority to point out the charm and efficacy of replacing existing search services.”
