WRTN's webiste / Captured from wrtn.ai

Artificial intelligence (AI) agent WRTN has surpassed 5 million monthly active users (MAUs) just 22 months after its chat-based AI service launched in January last year, the company said Thursday.
This growth rate outpaces other popular platform services launched by startups in Korea. For example, financial transaction platform Toss took 39 months to reach the same milestone, and secondhand trading platform Daangn Market took two years, highlighting the rapid adoption of AI services among Koreans.
Reaching 5 million MAUs, WRTN released a user report on user interaction patterns showing popular topics, preferred formats and age-based interaction tendencies.
Among 695 million messages that users have exchanged with WRTN, teenagers frequently discussed study topics, career planning and friendships, while users in their 40s focused on subjects such as the English language, family and stock investments.
The report also found that older users tend to use honorific language in their interactions, treating the AI as if it were a person. Users aged over 60 used polite language approximately 20 percent of the time, compared to just 5 percent among users in their 20s and about 3 percent among teenagers.
“With the extensive use pattern data that we have accumulated, we will continue to provide high-quality and unlimited AI services tailored to the needs of our users, completely free of charge,” WRTN CEO Lee Se-yeong said.
“Our goal is doubling MAU to 10 million by next year, and we will employ aggressive expansion strategy to spearhead the popularization of AI services in Korea.”
