- Developing automated solutions for game production based on generative AI, automatically generating visual elements such as graphics and motion - Proven technology and business value through their own games, with a 95% reduction in production costs and 1.25 million downloads, demonstrating gameplay quality - Exploring partnerships with leading domestic and global game developers, with promising potential for expansion into virtual content beyond games. SEOUL, South Korea, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NAVER D2SF has made a new investment in "Anchor Node" (CEO Won Jae-ho), a startup developing game production solutions powered by generative AI. Anchor Node's team consists of industry veterans with over 20 years of experience in the gaming industry, possessing extensive expertise and knowledge across all aspects of game production, including producing, development, and artwork. Anchor Node's game production AI solution, "GameAIfy," streamlines the game development process by using AI to automatically generate artwork—such as images, motion, and backgrounds—from just character concepts. Built on AI models specialized in creating game artwork, it offers style-consistent outputs tailored to specific game elements and design concepts. It also includes advanced features to enhance workflow efficiency in game art creation, such as artwork editing, sharing, history management, with tools like Remix, ControlNet, and character customization, making it easy to modify artwork. Anchor Node has already validated its product value and competitiveness by developing and releasing four games in collaboration with intellectual property (IP) holders, achieving 1.25 million downloads. In terms of production efficiency, they've reduced game development time from three years to less than a year and cut production costs by approximately 95%. They also successfully launched a new game title in just two weeks by changing only the artwork within the same design structure, earning positive responses from users. Based on these achievements, Anchor Node's GameAIfy has been conducting a Closed Beta Test (CBT) since February 2025 and is discussing specific collaboration plans with renowned domestic and international game developers and publishers. The company plans to participate in the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco on March 17 to target the global market. At GDC 2025, GameAIfy will showcase its AI-driven game art solutions at Booth C1872, offering live demos, Q&A sessions, and networking opportunities. Yang Sang-hwan, Head of NAVER D2SF, stated, "While graphic art in game production is time-consuming and costly, AI has not yet been fully integrated into game production workflows." He added, "Anchor Node is a rare team with a deep understanding of the gaming industry and has demonstrated remarkable results by optimizing AI to quickly penetrate game production environments." He also expressed investment intentions by saying, "We anticipate expansion not only in games but also as a tool for virtual content production." Won Jae-ho, CEO of Anchor Node stated, "With this investment, we will accelerate the advancement of GameAIfy and expand its business." He continued, "By the second quarter of this year, we plan to add motion and NPC generation features to GameAIfy, transitioning it to OBT." He further mentioned, "We plan to establish a subsidiary in France by the end of the year and actively target global markets, including Europe." Meanwhile, NAVER D2SF has announced four new investments consecutively in 2025, accelerating its startup discovery and investment activities.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 6 March 2025 - MooneyBird, a real estate technology company focusing on property marketing and AI applications, has officially introduced Hong Kong’s first Cantonese-focused AI Voice Concierge tailored for the real estate industry. Developed in partnership with AIVOICE, a startup nurtured by the HKUST Entrepreneurship Center, this innovative solution combines Cantonese voice technology with AI agent features. By speaking Cantonese, users can instantly access up-to-date property listings, empowering real estate agents to deliver more seamless and human-centric digital interactions. The AI Voice Concierge enables consumers to instantly access the latest real estate listings via Cantonese voice-based interaction. Ensuring Digital Inclusion and a Barrier-Free Property Search Experience As Hong Kong citizens fully embrace property search habits online, real estate agents often struggle to respond to a high volume of customer inquiries, risking potential buyer loss if they fail to respond promptly. Meanwhile, to fulfill social responsibilities, many agencies have begun integrating barrier-free elements into their websites, ensuring all user segments can access property information equally. The AI Voice Concierge allows agents to interact with customers more naturally while instantly managing tasks such as property purchase inquiries, rental queries, and listings. It delivers personalized recommendations, mortgage calculations, analyses estate and neighborhood advantage, and information about nearby transportation or facility, all via voice-based interactions that transcend traditional text-based limitations. Empowering Real Estate Agent for Professional Customer Support The AI Voice Concierge leverages a multimodal AI model developed by AIVOICE. By integrating Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text-To-Speech (TTS), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), it seamlessly processes Cantonese or mixed Chinese-English queries. Additionally, the solution connects to MooneyBird’s industry-specific database and large language models to generate more specialized, human-like responses. At its core, the system employs an Agentic AI infrastructure to support multi-turn, context-aware conversations. By learning user data and predictive analytics, it delivers highly precise property suggestions based on past interactions, helping agents effectively target potential buyers. Accelerating Customer Interactions by 30% with Voice AI Century 21 Property Agency (Pak Shek Kok) in Tai Po has implemented the AI Voice Concierge into its website to streamline its customer service. According to the branch manager, client engagement rates have increased by 30% within three months, enabling more precise outreach to potential buyers and boosting sales opportunities. For more information, please visit: https://c21psk.com.hk/ Furthermore, based on practical needs, the AI Voice Concierge can integrate seamlessly with CRM systems and can incorporate AI voice-cloning technology. Agents only need to record around one minute of audio to create a custom AI voice model that delivers personal responses, enhancing brand image and reinforcing customer relationships. Pioneering Smart Property Technology, Redefining the User Experience Eddie Lee, Founder of Synergy Marketing Technology and CEO of MooneyBird, shared, “The AI Voice Concierge helps agents quickly identify potential clients. Once customers obtain initial property insights, they can engage in deeper discussions with agents, fostering mutual trust. We’re excited to see the real estate sector advancing into a new era of smart solutions, and we believe this technology will empower agents to reach broader audiences while strengthening their brand equity.” AIVOICE was founded by students from HKUST. Wilson Wong, Co-founder of AIVOICE, said, “As Cantonese voice-over tools are in short supply, we developed our own AI technology to capture nuances like tone, diction, and accent. After 20,000 hours of Cantonese voice-data training, our model achieves a 95% accuracy rate. Through the AI Voice Concierge, we aim to showcase the adaptability of Cantonese AI and expand its use across multiple industries.” Looking ahead, Lee added, “We plan to roll out the AI Voice Concierge to more than 50 real estate agencies and are currently exploring additional collaborations with developers. We are also working on interactive virtual avatars and other innovations to continuously enhance the digital property experience.” Hashtag: #MooneyBird #Proptech #AI #CSR #Tech #Propertyhttps://synergymar.tech/https://mooneybird.com.hk/The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.About Synergy Marketing Technology LimitedFounded in 2021, Synergy Marketing Technology is dedicated to enhance marketing performance by fusing the power of cutting-edge technology for big data analytics with AI to produce a synergy impact for companies.

This initiative aims to introduce GCS's business and the vision of "F2SU" (A Friend to Startups), a dedicated platform designed to support startup growth. Innovative Marketing Strategy to Empower Startups In today's highly competitive startup landscape, establishing a strong brand presence and market influence is essential. Recognizing this, GCS has adopted a creative and startup-friendly approach with the "Pizza Blitz" campaign—leveraging one of the world's most beloved foods to break through traditional marketing conventions.

"Startup founders face countless challenges every day, and we want to provide them with real, actionable solutions—delivered in a way that's both engaging, practical and impactful."

This campaign serves as a gateway to deeper discussions on how F2SU can drive tangible business success. Redefining Traditional Business Approaches with Authentic, Impactful Engagement Rather than relying on conventional business meetings or standard marketing promotions, GCS has chosen a direct, effective, and personal approach to engaging with the startup community—using pizza as a bridge to foster meaningful conversations. "Huge thanks to GCS for the unexpected pizza drop-off - it was both thoughtful and delicious! There's something about sharing a few slices that helps everyone relax and jump into more candid and fruitful discussions on how our we can mutually thrive with our ecosystem partners", says Hoo Yuanyang, CEO of Paywho.
