POSCO DX on the 18th declared the start of the "one person, N agents era," moving beyond "one person, one agent." The plan is to accelerate the adoption and use of artificial intelligence (AI) agents to strengthen companywide AX (AI transformation) capabilities.
After declaring a shift to an "AI-native corporations" last year, POSCO DX has been supporting all employees so they can use multiple agents in their work and develop the agents they need on their own. To that end, it held "AX Hackathon 2026" to strengthen employees' AI utilization skills and create an opportunity to directly implement work automation.
A total of 75 teams and 188 people took part in "AX Hackathon 2026," which began in Apr. Six teams reached the final round after developing ▲ an AI-based screen design automation platform ▲ a recruiting agent collaboration system ▲ a framework migration agent ▲ a battery and materials AX insights portal ▲ an in-house AI workspace ▲ an adaptive multi-agent communication assistant for collaboration understanding, and they competed by demonstrating their AI models live.
The grand prize went to Team PIXEL, which implemented the "AI-based screen design automation platform." The AI agent selected as an outstanding work will be further advanced and released as an official service.
Starting this year, the company is running the "AX Academy Program" so employees can learn step by step from AI fundamentals to AI agent planning, design, and development. It focused on strengthening practical skills that can be applied immediately in industrial settings by using the latest no-code AI development tools such as Dify. POSCO DX plans to cultivate a large pool of in-house AI agent experts based on this.
A POSCO DX official said, "With the spread of AI, it has become natural to use AI agents, and going forward, using multiple agents efficiently will be the key to success or failure in AX," adding, "We will strengthen companywide AI capabilities and leap forward as a leading AX corporations."
