What Linkbricks does

Linkbricks is a Seoul-based AI and big data analytics company founded in February 2017 that builds and deploys business intelligence and large language model solutions for global retail, e-commerce, beauty, and automotive enterprises. The company's core product is BricksCube™, a Single Stack Business Intelligence™ platform built on the Sisense BI engine and featuring proprietary In-chip™ high-speed processing technology. In March 2023, Linkbricks launched what it describes as the world's first integration of ChatGPT and multiple LLMs into a BI solution (marketed as "BI 2.0"), enabling natural-language querying of enterprise data and automated report summarization. The company also operates the Horizon-Ai sLLM full-stack platform, which supports development, fine-tuning, and deployment of specialized language models ranging from 8B to 64B parameters; models built on this platform achieved #1-2 rankings on the Korean LLM leaderboard in November 2024 and #1-5 on the Japanese LLM leaderboard in December 2024.

The company monetizes through subscription/recurring revenue from AI-ML-LLM solutions, BI-CRM-GPT implementations, and cloud-based contact center solutions built on Infobip messaging technology. Go-to-market is enterprise sales-led, with named deployments at Amore Pacific, COSRX, Toyota, L'Oréal (all 24 brands), StyleNanda, and Hyundai. Linkbricks serves as a Sisense AP implementation partner and NVIDIA Inception member, distributing solutions directly and through technology partner channels. The company operates six wholly-owned subsidiaries spanning AI/LLM R&D (Linkbricks Horizon AI, established January 2025), venture acceleration (Linkbricks Ventures, government-approved), M.I.C.E. events (Linkbricks Comms), Japan market analysis (Linkbricks Japan), HR analytics (OKTRee), and construction systems (Koireo Systems). It maintains ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, and HIPAA certifications, and is recognized by the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT as a national innovation representative enterprise.

As of 2024, Linkbricks employs 48 staff, co-founded by CEO Kim Sang-gyu, CSO Ji Yoon-seong, CTO Park Jong-hee, and CIO Hwang Gyu-hwa, each with 15+ years of machine learning and AI experience at firms including Cyworld, Naver, Yahoo, Hancom, and XL Games. The company positions itself as Korea's counterpart to Palantir, combining proprietary AI capabilities with vertical-specific solutions for market intelligence, customer intelligence, sales intelligence, social intelligence, lead intelligence, and crisis risk assessment.

Emerging players

• Yellow.ai: Enterprise conversational AI / contact center automation platform with LLM-backed chatbots. Comparable to Linkbricks' AI Contact Center Solution built on Infobip for omni-channel customer engagement.

Direct peers

• Palantir Technologies: Enterprise data analytics and AI platform company that Linkbricks explicitly benchmarks itself against ('Korea's Palantir'). Both sell integrated AI/data platforms to large enterprise and government customers with multi-source data fusion and decision intelligence.
• Sisense: Global AI-driven BI platform that is both Linkbricks' technology partner (powering BricksCube™) and a comparable BI vendor competing for augmented analytics enterprise deals.
• Upstage: Korean AI company building foundation models (Solar LLM) and enterprise AI document/intelligence solutions. Direct Korean sLLM competitor appearing on the same Korean LLM leaderboard that Linkbricks tops.
• Kakao Brain: Korean AI subsidiary building large language models (KoGPT, KoALLa) and image generation. Directly competes in Korean-language LLM rankings and enterprise AI services.
• LG AI Research: Korean foundation model lab behind Exaone. Competes with Linkbricks Horizon-Ai on Korean-language LLM leaderboards and pursues on-premise LLM deployments for Korean enterprise/government clients.
• Sprinklr: Enterprise social media intelligence and customer experience platform with AI-driven analytics. Closely comparable to Linkbricks' Social Intelligence Platform used by L'Oréal and similar brand-side deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Salesforce (Tableau + Einstein): Global BI/CRM incumbent combining Tableau with Einstein AI for conversational analytics. Competes head-on for enterprise augmented analytics deployments.
• Microsoft (Power BI + Copilot): Global augmented BI incumbent pairing Power BI with Microsoft Copilot for natural language enterprise analytics. A dominant enterprise competitor Linkbricks must differentiate against.
• Naver (HyperCLOVA / Naver Cloud): Korean tech incumbent offering HyperCLOVA LLM and D2C/retail cloud analytics through Naver Cloud. Competes as a broader Korean big-tech incumbent for enterprise AI and analytics spend, including beauty and retail verticals.
