Financial AI company Webcash is participating in the government's 'Independent AI Foundation Model' project to develop and validate AI agents specialized for financial tasks.


On October 28, Webcash announced its involvement in a consortium led by LG AI Research Institute to develop AI agents tailored for financial operations as part of the Independent AI Foundation Model project.


The Independent AI Foundation Model project is a national initiative promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA) to enhance the competitiveness of domestic AI models and expand the AI ecosystem. LG AI Research Institute is advancing model enhancement and industrial application based on its self-developed AI model, K-EXAONE.


Webcash will leverage its accumulated domain knowledge in corporate financial management and financial AI technology for this project. The company plans to develop AI agents specialized for corporate financial management and financial institution management information systems (MIS) by integrating its intelligent data connection solution, Operia, with K-EXAONE.


Operia is an intelligent relational database (RDB) connector that automatically converts natural language queries into SQL queries to extract necessary data. It can interface with various large language models (LLMs), enabling AI to access internal corporate data and utilize it for operations.


Building on Operia, Webcash is expanding its AI initiatives targeting financial institutions, public organizations, and corporations, including financial management agents, agent banking, AI MIS, Finance AX, and Accounting 365. Through this project, the company aims to secure technology that connects independent AI models with financial operational systems and broaden the application scope of AI agents in the financial sector.
