Sweetndata Inc. (CEO Jaekwan Ahn) participated in the Future Innovation Tech Expo 2024 (FIX 2024), held at EXCO from October 23 to 26, to unveil its innovative “AI Fancard” solution, designed to revolutionize fan-artist interaction through AI-powered personalized digital goods.
Sweetndata specializes in “Human Digital Twin Solutions” using generative AI, catering to entertainment companies, MCNs, and musical production agencies. Its core offerings include hyper-personalized AI digital content generation services, allowing fans to creatively recreate their favorite artists’ images and produce custom digital and physical merchandise.
The company has launched its automated image generation platform, Fancard, targeting entertainers such as idols, streamers, and content creators. It also supplies AI photocard booths to other platforms catering to fandom markets, expanding its influence across the entertainment tech landscape.
In collaboration with Show Note, a leading musical and concert planning company, Sweetndata introduced an experiential event allowing users to become musical protagonists through AI-generated characters. These custom photo cards, reflecting the user’s image, are set to expand internationally through partnerships with companies in Vietnam.
The company has also diversified its AI solutions by producing tribute videos for Incheon Landing veterans upon request from the Incheon Metropolitan City. This project showcased its integrated AI video production capabilities, from image creation to final output.
At FIX 2024, Sweetndata sought to present its AI technology globally, aiming to boost its market presence and forge strategic partnerships to explore export opportunities. The company conducted in-depth consultations with domestic and international buyers to explore potential collaborations.
Sweetndata highlighted its Fancard app service, which helps create personalized photo cards for fans by generating images of partnered artists, celebrities, and MCN creators. These hyper-personalized digital goods serve as a communication bridge between artists and their fans.
The company also introduced its AI photocard kiosk, which produces unique photo cards with just a single face image. Every output differs, even if the same photo is used multiple times. These kiosks, available for sale or rental through B2B channels, can be customized in design and concept to meet client needs, supported by Sweetndata’s in-house software development team.
A Sweetndata representative revealed plans to begin production of its flagship products within the year in collaboration with domestic manufacturers. The company also targets a formal launch of its application following continuous updates.
Looking ahead, Sweetndata intends to expand its reach into overseas entertainment markets and promotional events. By collaborating with MCNs and talent agencies abroad, it plans to enhance B2B sales and B2C marketing strategies. By automating image generation using influencers’ IPs, the company aims to strengthen its global footprint and foster partnerships to broaden its business scope.
