– Employees participate in designing AI collaboration models through an in-house championship
– The company is accelerating its transition from simply adopting AI technology to becoming an organization that works alongside AI
Wadiz(CEO Shin Hye-seong, www.wadiz.kr) announced that it is applying its AI agent service, “WAi,” to the actual work of all employees and is further developing an organizational culture that integrates AI into the “way of working.”
While many companies view the adoption of AI as a measure of competitiveness, Wadizhas gone a step further by focusing on “how to connect AI with people to work together.” This marks a shift from being an organization that merely tests or evaluates AI to one where all members actively design how they work alongside AI.
WAi is WadizAI agent service, launched last July, which supports the entire funding process—from responding to maker inquiries to project review and translation. Wadizdesigned its AI to be used by all employees in their work, rather than limiting it to certain departments or specific roles.
To this end, Wadizlaunched the “WAi Championship,” a company-wide participatory program. The WAi Championship was designed to establish WadizAI organizational culture; it encouraged all employees—regardless of whether they were developers or non-developers—to use WAi firsthand, share their feedback, and propose ideas for improvement.
The data also confirmed a high level of employee engagement. A total of 192 employees—95% of the entire workforce—installed the WAi app, visited it daily, and actively contributed ideas for improving WAi’s features.
Of particular note is that, beyond mere participation, a total of approximately 300 improvement suggestions were submitted and incorporated into actual service enhancements. About 40% of the participants provided consistent and active feedback, yielding meaningful insights into the practical application of AI from a real-world business perspective.
WAi plans to continue working alongside Wadiz members to foster mutual complementarity and synergy, as well as to represent Wadizdirectly in communications with customers at the point of contact.
Shin Hye-sung, CEO Wadiz, said, “I believe that in the age of AI, what matters is not just who adopts the technology faster, but how that technology is connected to people.” He added,Wadizwill continue to have its employees directly participate in designing ways to work alongside AI, ensuring that the process itself becomes a source of competitive advantage for the organization.”
