Linq Wins Samsung Open Collaboration with LLM-Enhanced Underwriting AI Solution

SEOUL, South Korea, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Linq, an AI startup, won first place in the 2023 Samsung Open Collaboration, one of the most prestigious startup competitions in South Korea. Linq showcased its AI-powered underwriting solution, which was made possible by its AI risk models and an advanced vector database management platform for large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT.

On October 26, 2023, Linq (formerly known as Wecover Platforms) emerged as the winner of the 2023 Samsung Open Collaboration, held in South Korea.
On October 26, 2023, Linq (formerly known as Wecover Platforms) emerged as the winner of the 2023 Samsung Open Collaboration, held in South Korea.

Previously known as Wecover Platforms, Linq secured its win after a 4-month collaboration with Samsung Life Insurance in October. Linq was a standout among the 14 startups that advanced to the final round from an initial pool of 317 participants. This AI Underwriting chat solution, trained and embedded over tens of thousands of pieces of data, not only allows underwriters to evaluate the risk associated with insuring a potential client for cancer insurance but can also explain the reasons behind its results—a feature that was not possible in prior AI-powered underwriting solutions.

For the first time, Linq has successfully demonstrated the combination of advanced AI, including Bayesian neural networks with LLMs. Linq has taken measures to backtrack the significant factors that determine the results in AI models, addressing a notable challenge that previous AI models faced. Their method reflects which factors overcome the limitations of prior AI models that could not explain the reasons for the results by AI. Jacob Choi, Founder and CEO of Linq, stated, “Working closely with South Korea’s leading insurance company gave us access to a wealth of high-quality data. This collaboration reinforced our belief in the power of LLMs to innovate in the underwriting sector.” He continued, “Our goal at Linq is to make it simpler for businesses to integrate their own knowledge with large language models using our advanced vector database management platform.” He also highlighted plans to incorporate multimodal embedding models to deepen the understanding of corporate documents.

About Linq:

Linq is dedicated to building a vector database management platform that empowers companies to harness large language models, unlocking the full potential of their internal knowledge. Linq’s precise and user-friendly API solution is starting to be used by leading legal and insurance firms in South Korea. In addition, it provides solutions for the technical support sector within the US market.

Giulia Gartner, renowned photographer and judging panel member from SHOOTERS, remarked, “Participants interpreted RISE in a wide array of ways. Some captured the literal rising of the sun, while others portrayed the metaphorical rises in people’s lives, showcasing a diverse range of emotions and perspectives within the theme.” Submissions were not only diverse in their interpretation of the theme but also in the diversity of locations depicted. Jack Harding, a member of the judging panel and accomplished Commercial Photographer, elaborated, “The locations of the entries were also vast, with many countries and dynamic scenes. From the mountains of Scotland, cities of Japan, and rural villages of Turkey.”

With the MVP Awards, Deltek honors the most innovative among its worldwide customers and partners across nine categories:

The Marketing Agency Award recognizes an advertising or digital marketing agency using Deltek solutions to power their creative business. This year’s winner, George P. Johnson, a Project Worldwide Agency, is the world’s leading experiential marketing agency. The agency successfully implemented Deltek WorkBook in the UK, Germany, and Dubai to achieve global expansion and collaboration among its offices. With the help of Deltek and implementation partner Tangram, the agency overcame complex government tax and multi-currency reporting challenges, and increased visibility into resource management, utilization rates and job lifecycle workflows for the 1,400 employees who use WorkBook daily.   

The Consulting Award recognizes a firm that is using Deltek as a key technology to deliver successful engagements to their clients. This year’s winner, Boulay, is an accounting, audit, tax and financial consulting firm headquartered in Minneapolis. Boulay decided to upgrade its Deltek Maconomy ERP system to Maconomy in the Cloud to align with its business goals of growth, productivity and security in a cloud environment.  After the migration, Boulay saw a 50% reduction in the time needed to upgrade to Maconomy in the Cloud, expediting its timeline, streamlining user communication and allowing the company to add additional contractors to support growth.    

The Construction Award recognizes a firm in the construction industry that is utilizing Deltek to successfully execute projects. This year’s winner, Pyro-Comm Systems, Inc., a premier fire alarm and life safety contractor, has used Deltek ComputerEase as its financial backbone for over ten years.  Pyro-Comm successfully increased control of project financial performance, including consolidating two ComputerEase systems into one by leveraging Deltek’s payroll services in just two weeks.

The Professional Services Award recognizes a firm doing innovative work and succeeding with the help of Deltek solutions. This year’s winner, Englobe is a mid-market engineering and environmental services firm, with more than 3,000 employees and a well-established network of offices and facilities across Canada. Englobe uses Deltek Vantagepoint as the foundation of its daily operations across 23,000 projects annually, relying on it to help streamline financials, optimize project management, and deliver high-quality solutions to its clients. Leveraging Deltek Vantagepoint has led to improved resource utilization, efficient project management and an overall increase in profitability for Englobe.   

The Partner Award recognizes a Deltek partner and customer that together have completed an exceptional implementation of a Deltek solution. This year’s winners, Deltek Premier Partner Rhodium Digital and customer Wade Consulting, are both based in Alberta, Canada. With recent rapid growth, Wade needed a powerful and integrated ERP system to manage their entire product lifecycle and gain deeper insights into individual project health. With Rhodium Digital’s expertise as a Deltek Vantagepoint partner, Wade Consulting was able to move off QuickBooks® and time-consuming manual spreadsheet processes and go live in just two months, laying the foundation for double-digit growth for years to come. 

The Small to Midsize Business Award recognizes a growing business doing innovative work and succeeding with the help of Deltek solutions. This year’s winner, Connexus Corporation, is a women-owned, Virginia-based global consulting firm that designs sustainable strategies to link developing economies with global markets that enhance the lives of the poor. Connexus implemented Deltek Costpoint to handle the complex needs of managing international development projects while maintaining its prime contractor status on the Feed the Future Senegal Nafoore Warsaaji Activity, funded through the Feed the Future initiative coordinated by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). With Costpoint, Connexus was able to streamline project management, accounting, and reporting processes, and ensure compliance with USAID regulations. Connexus also gained real-time visibility into project performance and financial status, enabling it to make informed decisions and optimize their resources. 

The Enterprise Award recognizes a large business that leverages Deltek solutions to achieve its global mission. This year’s winner, Fluor’s Mission Solutions Business Group, the government contracting division of the FORTUNE 500 company, provides nuclear engineering and facility operation services, construction management, rapid response logistics, global military base operations and maintenance, as well as humanitarian and disaster relief support.  Mission Solutions moved its entire ERP system from SAP, and now leverages several of Deltek’s industry-specific solutions, including Deltek Costpoint, Talent Management, Cobra, Acumen and GovWin IQ to power its project lifecycle. Mission Solutions migrated 1,900 employees to Deltek Costpoint in just ten months, saving six million dollars in operational expenses while remaining fully compliant with government regulations.

This year’s winner, DeSimone Consulting Engineering, provides high-quality structural engineering, façade consulting, construction consulting, forensics services (litigation support), integrated design, detailing services, and protective design for all types of buildings. The high-growth, 600-employee firm upgraded from Deltek Vision to Vantagepoint in 2023 while consolidating disparate financial systems and integrating client relationship management, corporate risk, and project data following multiple acquisitions. With Vantagepoint, DeSimone grew its revenue by 33%, increased invoice efficiency, and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in overhead costs by streamlining platforms to one integrated ERP system.  

The Government Contracting Award recognizes a firm that is using Deltek to successfully execute business with federalstate or local governments. This year’s winner, UIC Government Services and The Bowhead Family of Companies, provides various services for defense and civilian government agencies. UIC Government Services leverages Deltek Costpoint, GovWin IQ, PPM Solutions, and TIPQA to run a complex accounting and corporate structure for over 36 subsidiaries and more than 3,000 employees. UIC Government Services’ decade-long history with Deltek’s government-compliant solutions has decreased its operating support costs year over year, with more than 35% of invoices now processed by software, while also increasing project efficiencies.

Organizations including Telefónica and BNP Paribas rely on Amelia’s AI solutions for critical internal and customer-facing tasks, and today’s news closely follows the announcement that global airline Aeromexico has selected Amelia to manage its customer service channels.

This PEAK Matrix assessment is based on Everest Group’s evaluation of the Vision & Capability and Market Impact of more than two dozen global Conversational AI technology vendors. The results of the evaluation inform the classification of each vendor into one of three categories: Leaders, Major Contenders and Aspirants. Based on these criteria, Amelia has been named a Leader in Conversational AI and holds the highest overall position in the PEAK Matrix across both axes.

Among the 25 vendors evaluated, Amelia is one of only two vendors recognized as a top provider across all major industries, including Banking, Healthcare, Telecom, Insurance, Technology and Retail. Amelia is also a top provider across several major business functions, such as IT Helpdesk, Customer Support, Sales, and Finance and Accounting.

Everest Group also recognized several key strengths of Amelia’s Conversational AI platform, such as its use of Generative AI:

  • The platform automatically suggests modifications and creates new workflows based on real-time conversations, call transcripts and interactions with Generative AI Models to create fully functional prototypes and more, all without human intervention. Buyers regularly recognize Amelia’s focus on innovation as a key strength.
  • The platform offers a low-code experience for clients to build functional, multi-channel solutions that are tailored to their specific industry requirements.
  • The platform digitally orchestrates and executes end-to-end processes across IT systems and applications.

With each annual assessment, Amelia pulls further ahead of other providers in the Conversational AI vendor landscape. Notable in this report is Amelia’s leap forward in Vision & Capability, which evaluates a vendor’s ability to successfully deliver products to market.

Amelia prides itself on taking AI from experimental to exceptional for enterprises, driving measurable business outcomes. For example, Resorts World Las Vegas fully automated more than 2,500 guest check-outs in one month using Amelia’s Conversational AI platform, helping to increase guest satisfaction and offload administrative work from resort employees.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by research powerhouse Everest Group as a Leader in Conversational AI,” said Lanham Napier, President and Chairman of Amelia. “Day in and day out, our global team puts in a huge effort to better serve our customers with a powerful, intuitive platform that delivers incredible outcomes, as evidenced by improved NPS scores, increased employee and customer retention, and cost savings. This recognition of our efforts is one that we are extremely proud of, and it pushes us to continue advancing our cutting-edge platform and keep moving towards our ambitious goals.”
