[Alpha Biz= Reporter Kim Sangjin] Hana Financial Investment reported on October 23 that regarding Kakao's AI application 'Kanana,' the outlook is positive, but specific details are necessary for a comprehensive analysis. They noted that the stock price could be influenced by the initial traffic the app secures.
The report stated, "Kanana is expected to undergo internal non-public beta testing (CBT) this year, followed by a closed beta, with a formal launch anticipated in the first half of next year." The goal of providing easy AI services for everyone through interconnected relationships is seen as a favorable direction.
Hana Financial pointed out that "the generative AI app market is still in its early stages, and there is currently no dominant app." They highlighted that OpenAI's ChatGPT holds the largest user base among existing apps.
Furthermore, the analysis indicated that "Kanana plans to leverage external models, including GPT, and open-source data to provide customized results based on learned data." They believe that if quality issues are resolved, the app could differentiate itself in user and chat interactions.
The researcher also noted the high potential for expanding into other AI services, such as character chats linked to Kakao's intellectual property (IP).
