EdTech company Creverse (CEO Lee Dong-hoon) held an event to review and commemorate the achievements of two years following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Microsoft for AI platform technology cooperation in September 2023.

The meeting was attended by Vincent Wong, Head of Sales for Microsoft ASEAN & Korea SME&C, Song Joo-hyun, Head of Azure Business for Microsoft ASEAN & Korea SME&C, Kim Kwan, Executive Director of Creverse's AX Business Division, and Kang Sang-woo, Executive Director of Strategic Planning Division. They shared the achievements of the past collaboration and discussed the global growth strategy for the AI-based learning assessment platform 'HUMMINGo'.

HUMMINGo is an AI English automated assessment engine that provides real-time personalized feedback by precisely analyzing and evaluating learners' writing and speaking data. Designed by Creverse, this AI-based platform organically connects classroom and online learning to maximize learning effectiveness.

As a result, the grading time for assignments, which used to take an average of 3.5 days, has been reduced to just 7 seconds, allowing learners to receive real-time feedback. The AI provides standardized and objective assessments based on accumulated learning data and accurately diagnoses learners' weak areas to offer personalized feedback at the level of a personal tutor. Additionally, operational efficiency has been significantly improved, reducing operational costs by approximately 85%.

Microsoft highly evaluated HUMMINGo's potential in the B2C market and its global scalability. It particularly noted that HUMMINGo is likely to lead global educational demand in markets where the trend of self-directed learning is spreading.

The two companies shared a phased expansion strategy from 'Korea → Singapore → Global'. Vincent Wong emphasized, "Singapore is a strategic hub for entering the APAC market with its English-based digital affinity and educational innovation environment. The certification from the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) is a key factor in determining market credibility, and based on this, expansion into Southeast Asia, including Thailand and Vietnam, is fully feasible."

Microsoft assessed that HUMMINGo's technology is easily integrated with educational solutions such as Microsoft Teams and Copilot, providing a guide for technology integration and collaboration direction. Additionally, they proposed the possibility of co-producing case studies and collaborating on global promotion based on HUMMINGo's initial AI adoption cases.

Through this meeting, the two companies reaffirmed their direction to build a sustainable learning ecosystem that connects classroom, home, and digital environments based on AI technology.

A Creverse representative stated, "We will create a new standard for global AI education together with Microsoft."
