Hanyang Cyber University's AX Business Unit said on the 26th that it held an awards ceremony for the "AI-based startup project competition" and presented top prizes to three teams.
The competition was prepared to help students identify problems based on their academic knowledge and field experience and develop business models using artificial intelligence (AI). Faculty members on campus and the Career Development Center took part in judging and consulting.
At the awards ceremony on the 13th, winners were selected by evaluating the appropriateness and level of AI use, the creativity and distinctiveness of ideas, the completeness of implementation, and the feasibility of execution and commercialization. The focus was on whether the problem to be solved was clear and whether AI was used as a means of solving it, rather than on the technology or functions themselves.
The "Jeyu" team, made up of students from the Department of AI Applied Software Engineering and the Department of Management Information AI, unveiled "Rapport Note," a voice-based customer relationship management service for small business owners in the procedure industry. AI summarizes conversations that take place during procedures and stores them as records by customer, designed for use when they return. It received high marks for reducing the workload of one-person business sites that find it difficult to prepare separate customer records.
Graduate students Park Jong-beom and Lee Seong-beom of the Department of Mechanical IT developed a control-type web prototype that manages abnormal situations of vehicles and drivers on a single screen under the team name "TwoBeom Project." AI analyzes driving data to set response priorities and suggests necessary action wording to control personnel. It was recognized for practicality that lowers the burden of on-site judgment and for the completeness of the prototype.
The "AI Playground" club team from the Department of AI Applied Software Engineering presented "Ingredient Fit," which manages cosmetic ingredient information and helps compare products. The service uses AI to organize and provide related information so consumers can compare and choose product ingredients.
Min Yeon-a, head of the AX Business Unit, said, "The ability to handle AI goes beyond learning tools and depends on what problems you find and solve in the field you know well," and added, "We will continue on-campus expert consulting and startup support so the ideas discovered in this competition can develop into actual businesses."
Hanyang Cyber University's AX Business Unit plans to conduct follow-up consulting for the winning teams in connection with the Career Development Center. It also plans to expand support so students' AI utilization capabilities can lead to startups and career paths.
