GoodGang Labs said on the 26th that it operated a pop-up store with I Hate Monday where an artificial intelligence (AI) avatar staff greeted customers.
GoodGang Labs is a Start - Up that developed an "AI avatar staff solution," a browser-based ultralight AI avatar technology that renders real-time conversation, facial expressions, and motion. Its distinguishing feature is that it is a Conversational AI 3D avatar platform that runs in the browser. The company said that through this pop-up, AI staff will talk directly with customers in an offline store, introduce products, and provide customers with a new experience.
I Hate Monday is a Korean local brand founded in 2011 by designer-turned Deputy Minister Hong Jeong-mi, an inventive sock brand that interprets the feeling of "hating Mondays" with playful designs. It is drawing attention not only in Korea but also in Japan and Europe.
