Zeta, developed by Scatter Lab, an artificial intelligence start-up company in Seoul, allows the user to set the name, character and interest preferences of the AI role, thereby transforming the dialogue into a immersive, fictional and interactive narrative experience。
The application launched an open test in April 2023 after obtaining an investment of 15 billion won in South Korea's largest mobile telecommunications operator, SK Telecommunications (note: the current exchange rate is approximately 73,215,000 yuan). Within one year of going online, Zeta has a global audience of 2 million, with an average monthly dialogue exceeding 2.3 billion rounds。

In response, Scatter Lab launched a real-name age certification system in August of this year and introduced the Unlimited Model (Unlimited Mode) for adults only。
Looking ahead, companies are actively advancing the global landscape. Following a recent official visit to the Japanese market, Scatter Lab plans to further expand its English-speaking operations and work to make Zeta a global platform to reach 100 million users over the next few years。
