South Korea ranks third globally in weekly active users of OpenAI's "Dots", while its number of ChatGPT Pro users is in the global top five, the company said.

OpenAI said on Oct. 23 it held "OpenAI DevDay Exchange: Seoul" at Raum Art Center in Seoul on Oct. 22. More than 600 local developers and industry participants attended.

At the event, OpenAI Korea Country Manager Kyung-hoon Kim (김경훈) introduced the figures as of October this year. He also explained that feedback from local developers is being reflected in product development, including Linux support for Codex and improvements to the mobile user environment.

DevDay Exchange is an event where OpenAI introduces technologies announced in the United States to developer communities in each country. It will be held this year in eight cities worldwide, including Seoul.

At the event, OpenAI highlighted "Dots", an AI agent that carries out real work based on user instructions. Dots uses its own cloud computer to continue tasks while users are away and can process multi-step work by linking with external services.

At a media briefing held ahead of the event, OpenAI demonstrated Dots changing a meeting schedule in Google Calendar and sending a message to the other party via Slack. It also showcased a function that searches for related materials to produce presentation slides and a demonstration program.

In a keynote speech, Albert Ip introduced ways to automate work and develop services using Dots. He explained how people and AI agents collaborate in ChatGPT Space and how the Agent API connects external tools with work data.

AWS then introduced how to build and run AI agents using OpenAI models and development tools in existing cloud environments. LG CNS explained ways to apply AI to real work, including connecting AI with a company's existing systems and establishing a security and permissions management framework.

Kim said, "OpenAI will continue to communicate with the Korean developer community and support developers so they can turn ideas into real products and services and deliver value to more users."
