What is Naver Cue?

Cue is Naver’s AI-powered search service, representing a significant leap in online search technology.

Designed to move beyond traditional keyword-based searches, Cue utilizes generative AI to understand and respond to complex, sentence-based queries with high precision and contextual relevance.

What Makes Naver Cue Stand Out?

  1. Advanced Query Processing: Cue integrates reasoning, search planning, tool usage, and retrieval-augmented generation technologies. This allows it to deliver accurate, context-aware responses to user queries, summarizing vast amounts of information from Naver’s extensive content ecosystem, including blogs, shopping, news, and more.
  2. Enhanced User Experience: Unlike traditional search engines that require users to refine queries multiple times to get the desired result, Cue processes complex queries in one go. It recognizes the intent and context behind each query, providing users with the most relevant information instantly. This shift is aimed at making searches more intuitive and efficient.
  3. Integration with Naver’s Ecosystem: Cue is seamlessly integrated with other Naver services like Naver Shopping, Naver Place, and Naver Blog. For example, a search for a recipe might not only provide the recipe but also link to Naver’s grocery shopping service for purchasing ingredients. This integration enhances user convenience and engagement.
  4. Adaptive and Personalized Responses: Cue tailors its responses based on user behavior and query patterns. It learns from each interaction, making the search experience more personalized over time. This adaptability is particularly useful in providing recommendations and detailed guidance on various topics.

Currently only available on PC, Naver plans to expand Cue to mobile platforms, further broadening its accessibility. This expansion is part of Naver’s broader strategy to leverage generative AI in enhancing its search services, positioning itself as a leader in the global tech landscape.

With Cue, Naver not only strengthens its dominance in South Korea’s highly competitive search market but also sets a new standard for what AI-driven search engines can achieve globally.
