Jeon Hwa-sung's Startup Morning Coffee #1173: Hyperconnected Smart Work

## Startup Morning Coffee Spotlights WarpSpace's AI Creation Ecosystem 'Startup Morning Coffee', a vital force in the startup ecosystem, is a representative YouTube program hosted by CEO Jeon Hwa-sung. Broadcast live daily at 8:40 AM on the 'Jeon Hwa-sung's CNTV' channel, it deeply highlights the innovative capabilities and market potential of promising startups. Active communication with viewers through real-time comments is a key factor that positions this program as more than just information delivery, but a living startup information platform. The company that garnered attention in this 'Morning Coffee' episode is 'WarpSpace'. WarpSpace operates 'Caveduck', a global artificial intelligence (AI) character chat platform, expanding the horizons of the AI companion market. Caveduck provides an environment where users can freely communicate and interact, based on an extensive database of over 300,000 characters. In particular, it is designed to maximize immersion by enabling deep and continuous conversations with characters tailored to a specific worldview chosen by the user. WarpSpace is currently accelerating its growth with support from CNTTech's Early Startup Package. WarpSpace's key competitive strengths, which predict its potential for success, can be summarized into two main points. First, the establishment of a 'creator-centric fandom ecosystem'. By distributing profits directly to creators, it actively encourages creative activities, which in turn creates a virtuous cycle leading to the production of high-quality content and the influx of enthusiasts (fandom) onto the platform. Second, 'unique multimodal-based technology'. Caveduck offers multilingual capabilities supporting various languages, as well as multi-party interaction features and a cloud-based creation environment. This opens up endless possibilities for diverse content to interact within the platform and lead to new creations. CEO Jeon Hwa-sung evaluated WarpSpace as having explosive growth potential not only in the AI companion market but also in massive content fandom markets such as webtoons and web novels. He especially emphasized the expectation that its role as a 'creation platform' will expand, going beyond simple consumption to allow creators to exchange information within the platform and collaboratively create entirely new forms of content through dialogue.
