Kiwoom Securities officially announced on the 16th the launch of its generative artificial intelligence (AI) based "AI coding assistant." This service is an AI-based coding support tool designed to help users more easily utilize the "Kiwoom REST API" that Kiwoom Securities introduced last March.
According to Kiwoom Securities, the AI coding assistant was developed by combining a generative AI model with Kiwoom Securities' Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology. Users can receive practical code that can be used with the Kiwoom REST API instantly with just simple natural language questions. Depending on the question, it generates various code examples in real-time, such as stock orders, price inquiries, and balance checks.
It also recommends API call items and, if necessary, provides specification information including the request method and input items for the relevant API. The AI coding assistant offers responses in various languages such as Python and Java, and like ChatGPT, it can be used without separate installation after applying for API usage on the Kiwoom REST API homepage.
A representative from Kiwoom Securities noted, "The AI coding assistant significantly lowers the technical barriers to entry for the Kiwoom REST API, providing an environment where individual investors can easily implement automated trading. It will likely provide practical assistance to clients looking to execute their own investment strategy ideas."
