Korea Deep Learning, a provider of integrated visual-intelligence AI solutions for public institutions and companies, said on Wednesday it has completed a 12 billion won Series A funding round with Korea Development Bank joining as the final investor.

Translink Investment led the round and SV Investment participated as a major co-investor. Following IBK Industrial Bank, Korea Development Bank invested 5 billion won, bringing the round to a close. Korea Development Bank's investment accounts for more than 40 percent of the total.

Korea Deep Learning said Korea Development Bank decided to invest after highly evaluating its capabilities in commercialization and business development. Korea Deep Learning has secured more than 80 clients across public institutions, finance and healthcare, and has cumulative sales of 10 billion won. The company emphasized that a product strategy that can be deployed within 2 weeks without separate data collection or training was a major factor in the investment decision.

Korea Deep Learning plans to use the funding to expand beyond document automation into workflow automation in 2026. It plans to have AI agents automatically design and execute the next tasks based on data extracted from documents, while implementing them to operate reliably in real corporate environments through set rules and verification systems.

Chief Executive Kim Ji-hyun said, "This Series A closing is a turning point for Korea Deep Learning as it moves beyond 'AI that reads documents' to 'AI that finishes work with documents'." He said, "Korea Deep Learning will expand beyond document automation into workflow automation and build AI agents that operate reliably within rules and verification systems in corporate operating environments."
