27 Aug 2025
  • Integration of NC AI’s VARCO technology into Sandoll Cloud to drive next-generation AI business expansion
  • Broadening applications from gaming to advertising, commerce, education, and media

Sandoll, a leading content creator platform company, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with NC AI, the artificial intelligence subsidiary of NCSOFT. The agreement was formalized at a signing ceremony held at Sandoll headquarters, attended by Youngho Yun, CEO of Sandoll, and Yeonsoo Lee, CEO of NC AI.


Under the partnership, the two companies will jointly develop next-generation AI-based content creation technologies with the shared objective of accelerating the global reach of K-content. NC AI’s large language model (LLM) VARCO series and its video and conversational automation model VARCO Vision will be sequentially integrated into Sandoll Cloud, Sandoll’s flagship font platform, as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings.


NC AI was recently designated by the Korean government as one of the top five “National Representative AI Companies” under its Independent AI Project. By joining forces with Sandoll—recognized for its technological expertise and a user base of over two million—the collaboration is expected to deliver significant impact across industries.


The integration of VARCO will substantially enhance the capabilities of Sandoll Cloud. Already proven in areas such as game design, quest dialogue generation, and animation production, VARCO will now be extended to support advertising, commerce, education, media, and other creative fields. Leveraging Sandoll’s extensive font assets, the companies plan to introduce automated font and text application features, multilingual support, and advanced content quality tools within Sandoll Cloud. These enhancements will empower creators to reduce production time while preserving unique brand styles, and enable enterprises to produce high-quality multimedia content spanning text, images, video, and audio.


This initiative builds on Sandoll’s previous collaborations with LG CNS and ESTsoft, marking a decisive step in expanding its AI-driven business portfolio and diversifying revenue models. A beta program will be launched to gather feedback from early adopters ahead of the official release. The companies also plan to co-develop integrated AI-based content creation technologies to further accelerate the global growth of K-content.


Yeonsoo Lee, CEO of NC AI, stated:“As one of the government’s designated National Representative AI Companies, we are pleased to collaborate with Sandoll to extend the applications of VARCO across the creative industries. By combining NC AI’s advanced AI technology with Sandoll’s extensive font assets, we will drive innovation in content creation and strengthen the global competitiveness of K-content.”


Youngho Yun, CEO of Sandoll, added:“This partnership represents a pivotal milestone for Sandoll Cloud as it evolves into an AI-powered multimedia creation hub across diverse industries including gaming, advertising, commerce, education, and media. By advancing commercialization based on real-world usage data, we will deliver the competitive edge required by both creators and enterprise customers.”
