OpenAI held "OpenAI DevDay Exchange: Seoul" at the Raum Art Center in Seoul on the 22nd. The event was organized as a way to extend the technologies and experiences introduced at DevDay in the United States to local developer communities.
OpenAI held DevDay Exchange events in 8 cities around the world this year, including Seoul. More than 600 people, including domestic developers and industry officials, attended the Seoul event, where the company shared ways to implement services using AI agents and apply them to corporate operations.
The Seoul event was based on technologies unveiled in San Francisco in the United States last September. It introduced ways to apply AI agents to work and services.
Kim Kyung-hoon, head of OpenAI Korea, shared the status of local users and the developer community at the event. OpenAI said that as of October 2026, Korea's weekly active users of "dots" ranked third in the world, and that the number of ChatGPT Pro users in Korea was among the top 5 globally.
OpenAI said the usage experiences of Korean developers are being reflected in product improvements. Examples included Linux support for Codex, a feature that lets one project handle multiple folders at the same time, and improvements to the mobile user experience.
Albert Yip, head of OpenAI Applied AI Architecture, delivered the keynote and introduced ways of working and building services using AI agents. Albert Yip explained a collaboration method in which tasks are continuously delegated to the AI assistant dots and materials and deliverables are shared between people and AI agents in ChatGPT Spaces.
The session for developers also covered how to use the agent API. It also presented ways to build agents based on work context and connections to external tools, as well as ways to use internal services in ChatGPT and Codex through plugin extension features.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and LG CNS took part in the company presentations. They shared real-world examples of applying AI technology to business operations and operating strategies, and AWS introduced ways to use OpenAI models and development tools in existing cloud environments, as well as methods for developing and operating agents.
AWS suggested starting with small-scale tasks rather than expanding AI adoption all at once, connecting the necessary data, and then broadening the scope after confirming results. AWS described access control, usage management, cost management, linkage with existing security systems, and linkage with existing governance systems as key elements in the process.
LG CNS emphasized that the scope of enterprise AI transformation goes beyond model adoption to include changes in existing work methods and in the value chain. LG CNS said the necessary conditions for this include AI's understanding of an enterprise's unique business context, compatibility with existing systems, building access control, building security systems, and building operating systems.
The venue featured demo booths from OpenAI and participating companies, topic-based networking tables, and networking programs. Participants shared problems encountered in the process of implementing projects and services, and discussed possibilities for collaboration with technical staff and other developers.
Kim said the DevDay Exchange was a place for Korean developers to explore how to apply the latest AI technologies to projects and share development experiences, it was reported. Kim also expressed his intention to continue communicating with the Korean developer community and support the implementation of ideas into actual products and services, it was reported.
