LG CNS said Wednesday it showcased groundbreaking generative artificial intelligence applications across various industries at the Microsoft AI Tour in Seoul earlier in the day.
At its showroom, the IT solutions provider showcased solutions that leverage Microsoft Copilot to enhance workplace efficiency.
The company also introduced consulting programs and shared case studies of its AI-driven intelligent search services of manufacturing enterprises using Microsoft Azure Cloud.
The Azure-based intelligent search service enables employees to input queries during work processes, with generative AI analyzing product design manuals and past cases to deliver the most optimal responses.
Among the showcased services powered by Microsoft 365 Copilot were tools for scheduling and meeting minutes management, proposal and market analysis report generation, and manual and training material development.
To strengthen collaboration with Microsoft, LG CNS recently established the MS Launch Center, a dedicated task force comprising Azure Cloud architects and AI and application experts.
Additionally, the two firms jointly operate the Innovation Journey Workshop program, which supports enterprises in exploring generative AI adoption through prototype development and preimplementation validation.
"By deepening our collaboration with Microsoft, we will continue to discover new technologies and services that drive customer value innovation. Our goal is to position ourselves as an AI transformation specialist, delivering the fastest and most relevant AI solutions,' said Kim Tae-hoon, head of the AI cloud business division at LG CNS.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's AI Tour spans 60 cities worldwide, offering key insights and technological advancements in AI innovation. The Seoul event focused on business transformation through AI and strategies for sustainable value creation.

Blackstone bolsters Korea portfolio with 2 logistics centers near Seoul

Blackstone is deepening its presence in South Korea with the acquisition of two last-mile logistics centers in the greater Seoul area. The New York-based alternative investment firm said Monday that its real estate division acquired properties totaling 1.3 million square feet in Gimpo and Namyangju, two of the most competitive infill logistics markets in Gyeonggi Province. The firm said the properties are Grade A facilities — modern, high-quality logistics centers designed for efficient supply chain operations, typically featuring large space, advanced technology and strategic transport access — and are leased to major local and global e-commerce and logistics companies. 'This is a continuation of our commitment to investing in prime Korean assets in fast-growing sectors,' said Chris Kim, Head of Blackstone Real Estate–Korea. 'Logistics is one of our highest-conviction investment themes in real estate globally, and a focus for us in Korea, particularly in Seoul, where last-mile new supply remains extremely limited and vacancy rates are in the low 4 percent range,' Kim stated. 'We are pleased to bring together our global scale and expertise, local insights and asset management capabilities to grow the platform for long-term success.' Blackstone has ramped up its real estate activity in Korea since launching the dedicated team three years ago. Last year, it completed three major transactions, including an investment in a multistory logistics facility in Gimpo and the acquisition of an office building in Seoul's Gangnam district for conversion into a select-service hotel with Travelodge Asia. The firm also finalized the landmark sale of Arc Place, following years of repositioning the asset into a premier office building in central Seoul.

New AI Automation Platform Learns Like a Human--Infofla's Selto V2 Now Available

SEOUL, South Korea, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Infofla, a fast-growing AI startup specializing in workflow automation, has launched Version 2 of its flagship product 'Selto', delivering major upgrades that dramatically improve precision, flexibility, and user control. Powered by Infofla's proprietary 'VLAgent' engine—an AI system that combines large language models with advanced image recognition—Selto V2 enables businesses to automate complex digital tasks with human-like adaptability. Unlike traditional RPA (robotic process automation) tools, which often break down when unexpected screen changes occur, Selto can visually recognize and respond to real-time UI changes like pop-ups or layout modifications. "This update focuses on making automation more intuitive and flexible," said In-mook Choi, CEO of Infofla. "With Selto V2, anyone can easily design and manage automated workflows—even across unpredictable digital environments." Selto V2 introduces a new level of intelligence and flexibility for business automation. The upgraded version can now visually confirm what it has learned from screen, making it easier for users to identify and resolve issues quickly. This improvement helps boost reliability and transparency, especially in fast-changing digital environments. The platform also adapts dynamically to conditional scenarios. For instance, Selto can now tailor workflows based on different user types or interface conditions—an essential feature for customer-facing services where one-size-fits-all automation often fails. Infofla has also enhanced Selto's ability to process and reuse external data, enabling seamless input of variable information like customer names or addresses. This makes automations more scalable and personalized without increasing human workload. To support growing enterprise demand, Infofla now provides a robust administrator dashboard and has upgraded Selto's testing environment with enterprise-grade GPUs. This ensures reliable performance during large-scale Proof of Concept trials—especially in industries with high automation complexity, such as finance and insurance. Selto has already been deployed by Korea's Ministry of the Interior and Safety and top-tier e-commerce platforms. Building on that success, Infofla is currently running PoCs with major players in the financial and insurance sectors. With Selto V2, Infofla is moving beyond the limitations of existing RPA, paving the way for broader adoption of practical, accessible AI agents and positioning itself as a next-generation leader in intelligent automation. About Infofla Infofla is a Seoul-based AI software company revolutionizing workflow automation with its Vision Language Model (VLM) technology. Its proprietary solutions—including ITOMS, VLAgent, and RPACA—combine visual recognition with natural language understanding to deliver human-like adaptability in dynamic digital environments. Infofla is also developing FLAR, a robotics control system for intelligent physical automation. Its technologies are already used by Korean government and enterprise clients, and the company is expanding globally with support from partners like AWS.

Miracell launches Korea's first generative AI voice system for hospitals

Korean stem cell research company Miracell has introduced the nation's first generative AI-powered voice consultation system designed for medical institutions. Co-developed with Europe-based Vee, a Warsaw-listed AI company, the solution marks a major shift in healthcare automation. The company said Monday it has secured exclusive distribution rights for Vee's AI solution across Asia and is working closely with Vee Korea to customize the system for local hospitals. Unlike traditional rule-based ARS systems, the new AI tool uses natural language processing to deliver 24-hour conversational support, handling appointment scheduling, billing inquiries, patient reminders and general questions. The system is particularly effective during nights and weekends, when staffing is limited. It integrates with hospital customer relationship management systems and supports both inbound and outbound calls. Hospitals can trial the solution free for one month, lowering the adoption barrier. 'Generative AI can dramatically improve service quality in medical care,' said Shin Hyun-soon, CEO of Miracell. 'This isn't just an upgrade — it's a survival strategy for the health care sector.' Vee provides the underlying large language model engine, customized for Korean language and clinical context. A future version will link with Miracell's Celldoc platform, integrating patient consultations, appointments, and treatment records into a single interface. By combining its stem cell expertise with cutting-edge AI, Miracell aims to set a new standard in the health care industry. 'We're starting with clinics already using Smart-MCell,' a Miracell spokesperson said. 'But this is just the beginning. With AI, we hope to bring patients and caregivers even closer, and open the door to a more responsive, intelligent health care experience.'
