Seoul: a major South Korean telecom company, said Friday it has signed a strategic partnership with U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) startup CrewAI Inc. to collaborate on expanding the latter’s AI agent platform to the Asian market.
According to Yonhap News Agency, under the partnership signed last Friday, KT will have exclusive rights to provide CrewAI’s platform in South Korea and Vietnam, overseeing localization, integration and commercialization. CrewAI will be responsible for technical support and training, according to KT.
The two companies will also explore ways to link KT’s AI models and cloud services with CrewAI’s platform and expand their business across the broader Asia-Pacific region.
CrewAI offers a platform that provides a multi-agent orchestration framework to automate complex workflows and enhance decision-making and operational efficiency. The startup has partnerships with major institutions, including the U.S. Department of War.
“Building on our global collaborations with Microsoft, Palantir and others, we will strengthen the realization of agentic AI alongside CrewAI and accelerate innovation across industries,” KT Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kim Young-shub said. “We will proactively open new growth opportunities in the Asia-Pacific market.”
