World’s First Multimodal AI Terminal ‘WIA SOOM’ — Now Available Worldwide for Free

SmileStory Inc. (CEO Yeon Sam-Heum) has unveiled ‘WIA SOOM’, the world’s first multimodal AI terminal, and begun worldwide free distribution.

WIA SOOM breaks the 55-year limitation of terminals that could only process text. Paste images, files, and videos directly into an SSH session and AI analyzes them instantly. Previously, describing a server error required writing lengthy text. With WIA SOOM, simply paste a screenshot into the terminal and AI diagnoses the problem and suggests a fix.

AI Arena — 4 AIs Compete Simultaneously to Find the Optimal Solution

WIA SOOM’s core feature, ‘AI Arena’, allows up to 4 AI agents (GPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) to solve the same problem simultaneously on isolated Git branches. Each slot can be controlled independently, and cross-review scoring selects the optimal solution. This is a fundamentally different approach from relying on a single AI.

254 Languages — “Every Developer Deserves Tools in Their Own Language”

WIA SOOM supports 254 languages across Asia (63), Europe (95), Africa (39), Americas (27), and Oceania (25). All UI text is translated into native languages, with full support for RTL languages like Arabic and Hebrew.

The proprietary ‘WIA Braille’ is a universal braille system based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), capable of converting over 7,000 languages to braille. Compatibility with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack) has also been secured.

Offering 517 plugins including Docker dashboard, Kubernetes management, Redis browser, PM2 monitoring, and security scanner, WIA SOOM replaces 8 paid services — Datadog, Splunk, PagerDuty, Qualys, Portainer, Teleport, Postman, and crontab.guru — with a single free tool.

Built With Itself

99% of WIA SOOM was developed inside WIA SOOM itself. CEO Yeon Sam-Heum stated, “I built this app with this app.” The project has grown to over 80,000 lines of code and 411 commits.

WIA SOOM encompasses 83+ features across 8 domains — AI, terminal, file management, infrastructure, monitoring, security, team collaboration, and platform — with 95+ built-in server roles, making it the most comprehensive server operations tool available today.

AI features include 33 free trials (including BYOK users), and connecting your own AI API key (BYOK) enables unlimited use. Paid plans start at $3/month, offering managed AI, team, and cloud features.

Product Hunt Launch — Unveiled to the Global Developer Community

WIA SOOM officially launched on Product Hunt, the global product launch platform, on March 17 (KST), with plans to sequentially release on Hacker News as well. It is available for download on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

CEO Yeon Sam-Heum shared, “WIA SOOM was built with the spirit of Hongik Ingan (弘益人間) — to acquire humanity’s most advanced technology and share it with those who need it, benefiting the world.”
