Company Overview
AKA is developing A.I. engines and robots to help improve communication among objects.
Currently, we are focusing on applying Musio and Muse to the English education field, using in-house developed education functions, contents, education-oriented data, and various cross-collaboration with other content providers.
We believe that Musio can be the best solution for educating non-English speaking students in learning English with our A.I. education tool (Grammar Checkups, Pronunciation, Conversation Skills, etc.). The other reason is that Musio is not only an “Educational Robot”, but could also be your “First Robot Friend” with Artificial Intelligence.
