LINE’s AI Agents Point to Messaging Apps Becoming Sales Channels with ActEngine Launch

March 14, 2026 — Seoul, South Korea LINE Plus, the Korean subsidiary of LINE Corporation, launched ActEngine AI on March 11, a B2B AI agent infrastructure platform designed to automate customer service and sales tasks directly within messaging apps.

The platform allows businesses to deploy AI agents for handling inquiries, complaints, and personalized promotions based on user behavior, order history, and price sensitivity, featuring a central dashboard and “Outbound Action” for proactive outreach, according to Marketing Tech News.

First Deployment Success

ActEngine AI’s initial real-world use is with LINE MAN Wongnai, a Thai food delivery super-app serving over 700,000 merchants, 80% of which are small businesses. The AI processes about 360,000 annual merchant inquiries, reducing support time by more than 60% and increasing response accuracy by 16% compared to human agents, per Korea Herald.

“The system now handles around 360,000 customer inquiries annually, cutting response times by 60 percent and improving accuracy by 16 percent compared with human agents.”

Platform Features and Differentiation

Described as “action-oriented” or “executive AI,” ActEngine goes beyond query-based chatbots. Korea Herald reports:

“Unlike conventional query-based chatbots, ActEngine AI uses execution-based AI agents capable of performing tasks such as customer service, complaint handling and sales proposals.”

It consolidates LINE’s tech for global B2B expansion, with plans for voice agents and sectors like finance and retail, noted in SalesTechStar and FX News Group.
