Korea South, 24th Apr 2026 – Seoul-based AI academic collaboration platform Murple is rapidly gaining traction across the global research ecosystem, driven by strong user growth and expanding university partnerships. The company’s core product, Murfy, is positioning itself as a next-generation research operating system designed for researchers and graduate students.

Murfy integrates real-time collaborative writing with advanced AI capabilities, enabling users to streamline the entire research writing process—from literature review and drafting to citation verification and revision. Unlike conventional AI writing tools, Murfy is built to function as an intelligent research partner embedded throughout the full research lifecycle.

Backed by NAVER, Murple has been actively expanding through institutional licensing agreements with leading universities. The company recently signed partnerships with Gyeongsang National University and The Catholic University of Korea, providing faculty members, graduate students, and research labs with direct access to its AI-powered platform.

These collaborations are part of Murple’s broader strategy to secure partnerships with approximately 50 major universities across Korea between 2025 and 2026, further embedding AI tools into academic research environments.

Murple’s growth metrics highlight its strong global demand. Murfy has surpassed 150,000 cumulative registered users, with monthly new user sign-ups increasing by 50 to 100 percent month-over-month in 2026—an exceptional growth rate in the EdTech sector. Notably, approximately 95 percent of new users are from international markets.

A major product milestone is set for May 2026 with the launch of Murfy’s Agentic AI features. Designed specifically for research workflows, this system goes beyond generative AI by autonomously executing multi-step tasks such as literature synthesis, structured drafting, citation validation, and iterative revision. The goal is to allow researchers to focus on core ideas rather than time-consuming processes.

“Korean academia is at an inflection point,” said the company’s founder. “Researchers are spending enormous time on the writing process rather than on research itself. Murfy exists to change that—not by offering another AI chatbot, but by building an intelligent research partner that understands the full lifecycle of research work.”

The founder added, “The traction we are seeing from universities and individual researchers confirms that demand is real and accelerating. With the launch of Agentic AI in May, Murfy will evolve from a powerful writing tool into a true research operating system.”

Murple is also strengthening its global footprint through collaborations with international research organizations such as NAIC and CSEM. The company aims to establish itself as a leading provider of AI-driven research collaboration infrastructure worldwide.

Busan-based AI platform company InsightMatches has officially launched SENS, an AI-powered event matchmaking platform designed to transform how people connect at live events.

South Korea, 24th Apr 2026 – SENS introduces a data-driven approach to networking at conferences, festivals, and corporate gatherings, replacing traditional methods such as badge scanning and unstructured conversations. By analyzing participants’ personalities, interests, goals, and real-time availability, the platform enables precise, real-time matchmaking to create more meaningful connections.

SENS is the company’s second major product. InsightMatches previously developed a research collaboration platform that helps institutions access international grant programs such as Horizon Europe. Through attending numerous global conferences, the company identified a recurring issue: despite having the right people in the same room, meaningful connections often depended on chance. This insight led to the development of SENS.

“Networking has been inefficient for decades,” said CEO Paul Thomas Conversy. “At large conferences, people often end up speaking only with those nearby. SENS fundamentally changes that by enabling intentional, data-driven connections.”

Traditional networking methods have long been criticized for their inefficiency, with participants often interacting primarily with familiar contacts and missing opportunities to connect with new, relevant individuals. This limitation becomes more pronounced at larger events, where valuable connections are frequently left undiscovered.

SENS addresses this challenge through a proprietary matching engine that combines psychological profiling, professional background data, stated objectives, and real-time availability. The platform transforms networking from a passive, chance-based activity into a structured and purposeful experience.

The solution is fully white-label, allowing event organizers to customize branding, matching criteria, reward systems, and gamification elements. It is designed to scale seamlessly, supporting events ranging from small gatherings of 50 attendees to large-scale conferences with over 5,000 participants, all delivered through an intuitive, app-based interface.

The platform has already been validated through pilot programs at R&D conferences and university language exchange initiatives, demonstrating strong engagement and effectiveness across diverse user groups.

InsightMatches emphasized that SENS goes beyond simple matchmaking, introducing the concept of “engineered serendipity”—where meaningful connections are no longer left to chance but are intentionally designed. The company aims to help event organizers achieve higher engagement, stronger return on investment, and lasting value for participants.

InsightMatches, headquartered in Busan, operates with a mission to design human connection as a precise and scalable experience. Through its research collaboration platform and SENS, the company seeks to redefine how people connect in both academic and real-world environments.

Carrolton, GA, 23rd April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Following a landmark launch that redefined digital remembrance, Final Moment is doubling down on its mission to humanize technology. The company today announced the rollout of “Legacy Milestones,” a series of enhanced features designed to turn digital archives into living, breathing connections for families navigating life’s most important chapters. While the initial launch proved that the world was ready for a digital memorial platform, this next phase focuses on the “active” side of memory. Final Moment is no longer just a place to store the past; it is becoming a vehicle for future presence.

The Power of Being There, Even When You’re Not

The heart of the update lies in the expanded Milestone Messaging system. Users can now curate “Life Packages”—batches of videos, letters, and advice specifically triggered by their loved ones’ future life events, such as a child’s graduation, a wedding day, or even the birth of a grandchild.

We realized very quickly that our users weren’t just looking for a digital filing cabinet; they were looking for a way to still provide comfort and wisdom from the sidelines,” said Michael Avery, Founder and CEO of Final Moment. “With Legacy Milestones, we’re making it possible for a father to walk his daughter down the aisle through a video message recorded years prior, or for a grandmother to share a secret recipe on a specific holiday. It’s about being present for the moments that matter most.”

New Innovations in the Second Chapter

To support this deepened emotional connection, Final Moment has introduced several key updates:

• • The “Wisdom Well”: A dedicated space for users to record “Life Lessons” or ethical wills, categorized by topic (finances, love, resilience), ensuring their values are inherited alongside their assets.
  • Enhanced Interactive Timelines: A more intuitive interface that allows families to collaborate on a loved one’s memorial, adding their own stories and photos to create a multi-perspective history.
  • Verified Legacy Handover: A streamlined security protocol that ensures designated “Legacy Guardians” can access content seamlessly when the time comes, providing peace of mind without the technical headache.
    
    A Human Approach to a Growing Industry
    
    Co-founder Damien Hinman emphasizes that while the tech is sophisticated, the goal is simplicity. “We’ve seen a massive shift in how people view their digital footprint,” Hinman noted. “People don’t want to be remembered by a cold social media profile. They want a curated, warm, and intentional legacy. We are providing the tools to make that transition from ‘data’ to ‘heritage’.”
    
    Scaling for the Future
    
    The success of the initial launch has paved the way for Final Moment to integrate more deeply with the funeral and estate planning sectors. By offering a bridge between traditional end-of-life services and the digital age, Final Moment is quickly becoming the gold standard for how modern families manage the emotional weight of loss. “Our goal is to ensure no story is ever lost to time,” Avery added. “This update is another step toward making sure that when we say ‘goodbye,’ it doesn’t mean our story has to end.”
