About DEEPLY

Deeply is a South Korean sound AI company founded by Han Park and Suji Lee to help machines understand nonverbal sounds. Instead of focusing only on speech recognition, the company develops acoustic AI that can identify, classify, and interpret sounds from equipment, environments, and public spaces.

Its product portfolio includes Machine Solution for machine sound analysis and Safety Solution for detecting hazardous sounds and supporting safety compliance.

The company’s technology is used across city surveillance, infrastructure, military, railway, airport, and port environments. Deeply’s Listen AI Safety platform was selected by a government agency in Singapore to strengthen public safety operations through real-time emergency sound detection. According to CEO Suji Lee, Deeply was the only Asian startup chosen among 12 companies selected from seven countries for the program.
