In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant strides, evolving from simple task-oriented assistants to more advanced agents capable of making decisions and providing support in everyday life. A notable example is the introduction of AI agents designed specifically for parenting, such as the 'Rivol' by Bosch, which monitors infants' health and alerts parents to potential dangers based on the baby's cries. This innovation represents a shift towards more interactive and responsive AI technologies that can enhance daily living.

South Korean companies are also joining the trend, with Naver planning to launch a specialized AI agent for the commerce sector. This new AI will assist users throughout their shopping experience, from product searches to reviews, aiming to create a more personalized and efficient shopping environment. The CEO of Naver has expressed a commitment to integrating AI across all services, particularly in commerce, to leverage existing data for innovative solutions.

Moreover, startups are exploring niche markets with their own AI agents. For instance, the app 'Cleppy' connects individuals at risk of suicide with counselors, using AI to initiate conversations and provide support. This approach aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and make access to help more straightforward. As AI technology continues to develop, its applications in various aspects of life are expected to grow, indicating a promising future for AI agents.
