Lezhin Entertainment is launching Teaz, an artificial intelligence character chat service, in South Korea on October 19. The platform enables users to converse with characters from original series published on Lezhin Comics and Bomtoon.

Responses adapt based on user choices, and the service incorporates collection mechanics for hidden illustrations by original artists. The web service debuts first, with a mobile application scheduled for release later.
