Oasis Co., Ltd., a fast-growing leader in the Korean delivery market, has established itself at the forefront of voice commerce with the launch of the Oasis Giga Genie Service in August 2022. This innovative service leverages KT’s Giga Genie, the AI speaker with the largest market share in Korea, to provide a seamless grocery shopping experience powered by voice recognition technology. Known as the Oasis Market Voice Shopping Service, it allows users to order fresh produce from local farms simply by speaking. Combining its expertise in dawn delivery and IT development as a food-tech innovator, Oasis was honored with the prestigious Food & Food Tech Award in October 2024, further solidifying its status as an industry pioneer.

In its promotional video, a famous Korean actress in an apron looks busy cooking in the kitchen. As she cooks, she effortlessly orders ingredients in real time using voice commands. By saying, “Genie, Oasis Market,” she activates the Oasis Market Voice Shopping Service. The process is simple: with just three basic voice commands - “Add to cart,” “Buy,” and “Pay” - fresh groceries are delivered right to her doorstep by 7 a.m. the next morning. This system allows her to replenish items instantly without interrupting her routine. For example, if she runs out of milk, she can simply say, “Genie, add milk to the cart.” Similarly, if she runs out of eggs while cooking, a quick command like, “Genie, add eggs to cart,” ensures a seamless replenishment experience.

Many people find it inconvenient to leave their homes and visit physical stores for grocery shopping. This is especially true for busy homemakers, seniors living alone, people with disabilities, and those with limited mobility. For these groups, Oasis’ voice-activated AI grocery shopping service offers a highly practical solution. While online shopping has become commonplace, it can still pose challenges for those who find it difficult to navigate computer systems or access online platforms. The Oasis service fills this gap by providing an easy-to-use and accessible alternative. In addition, KT Giga Genie subscribers in Korea can use the service without additional membership registration. Delivery information is seamlessly pre-populated using the subscriber’s Giga Genie account details, and payments can be conveniently added to the user’s KT bill or processed through Genie Pay for a quick and hassle-free transaction.
