## About

Based in Seoul, South Korea, and founded in 2020, Catius Corp. operates as a developer of chatbot to enable speaking education for kids. Its platform enables kids to learn alternative ways of saying phrases and words in Korean. In January 2024, CATIUS raised an undisclosed amount in pre-series A funding from Smilegate Investment, STIC Ventures, and Korea SMEs and Startups Agency. 

Catius Corp.  developed a product known as Kati, which is an artificial intelligence-based conversational companion for children. The company’s platform initiates conversations, recognizing and adapting to children's unique pronunciations and interests. It offers a variety of interactive experiences, including quizzes, realistic descriptions on diverse topics, nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and the innovative Avatar Talk feature.
