Kim Young-jin (김영진), chief technology officer at Nolyuniverse, said the company is accelerating efforts to make better use of large-scale data by adopting Databricks. He said internal challenges included difficulty finding needed data, limited trust in discovered data and complexity in integrating multiple services. Nolyuniverse built a centralized feature store called Lynx and integrated tools into Databricks to speed development. He also highlighted plans for a global data platform across Yanolja Group.

Yanolja Next, the travel tech group\'s R&D subsidiary, showcased three AI solutions at a demo event in Seoul: Tella, a voice agent for reservation confirmation; Vicker AI, which generates seasonal and time-of-day lodging images from a single photo; and EEVE ROSETTA, a travel-focused translation model supporting 32 languages. The company said it was formed in January 2025 to provide shared technology across the group and is considering external supply as early as this year or early next year.
