Cinnamon AI's mission is to "create a world full of creativity with AI," and we are working on developing advanced business AI solutions, and we have a track record of providing them to many major domestic companies. In addition, we have established artificial intelligence laboratories in Vietnam (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City) and Taiwan, and have succeeded in recruiting a large number of AI engineers. Recently, in addition to the AI OCR "Flax Scanner," we have begun commercializing the specialized voice recognition technology "Rossa Voice," and have begun selling it mainly to major companies. In addition, Cinnamon AI has many advanced AI algorithms based on three unique research areas: “Digitize,” “Structure,” and “Understand.” We are continuously developing business AI solutions that utilize unstructured data.

■Overview of AI-OCR engine “Flax Scanner”
Most of the business documents used on a daily basis are unstructured and require human effort to incorporate into business systems, resulting in a lot of waste in white-collar work. Cinnamon uses an artificial intelligence document reading engine to fundamentally reform white-collar work. A variety of documents can be supported, including PDFs, Word files, and paper documents such as printed and handwritten documents. Currently, we provide engines to many major companies, including those in the financial and insurance industries.
