SEOUL, June 8 — MyRealTrip, South Korea’s leading travel "super-app," announced today that its Chief Technology Officer, Wonjin Heo, has been officially invited as a featured speaker at "Code with Claude: Extended," Anthropic’s prestigious global developer conference. The highly anticipated event is scheduled to take place on June 11, 2026, in Tokyo, Japan, marking a significant milestone for the domestic travel platform and the broader South Korean technology sector.
The upcoming Tokyo conference represents the third international installment of the "Code with Claude" global circuit this year, following successful high-profile iterations in San Francisco and London. Designed specifically to support independent developers, software engineers, and early-stage startup founders, the conference series serves as a critical forum for exploring how the advanced capabilities of Anthropic's proprietary artificial intelligence model, Claude, can be practically applied to real-world corporate environments and engineering infrastructure.
Industry analysts note that Anthropic's choice to highlight a South Korean travel platform underscores the global AI giant's growing interest in practical, high-transaction case studies. By selecting MyRealTrip as a primary operational example, Anthropic aims to showcase how a consumer-facing service can seamlessly integrate generative AI tools to enhance operational efficiency and revolutionize user experience at scale.
Bridging Prototypes and Production According to corporate sources, CTO Wonjin Heo is slated to take the center stage at the conference's premier "Founder Stage." His presentation will focus on the complex, highly demanding technical journey of transitioning raw conceptual prototypes into robust, production-ready enterprise architectures. Heo plans to share a granular breakdown of the specific AI workflows, orchestration frameworks, and continuous deployment methodology implemented within MyRealTrip’s core ecosystem.
A primary highlight of the presentation will involve granular operational challenges that frequently plague large language model (LLM) deployments in commercial settings. Heo will present concrete, empirical case studies, such as the automation of complex international flight ticket refund fee calculations. This specific operational area historically required extensive manual oversight and meticulous cross-referencing of changing airline guidelines.
To address these structural issues, MyRealTrip engineered specialized middleware pipelines and multi-agent prompting systems. These architectures significantly mitigated response latency while guaranteeing deterministic, highly consistent outputs required for strict financial transactions. The presentation will offer global developers a rare, transparent look into how these proprietary systems were designed, benchmarked, and successfully scaled.
Redefining Team Dynamics with AI Beyond pure software engineering and algorithmic adjustments, Heo’s address will dive deeply into organizational management and cultural shifts. He plans to discuss the strategic evolution of team structures when adapting to an AI-augmented workspace, drawing heavily from the practical experiences of MyRealTrip and its dedicated AI subsidiary, AICX.
Heo intends to argue that in the current technological landscape, the conventional bottlenecks of software development have completely inverted. As generative AI models drastically accelerate the speed of writing and debugging code, the primary bottleneck is no longer pure execution capacity. Instead, the ultimate organizational challenge has shifted toward high-level strategic decision-making: precisely determining what to build, diagnosing genuine consumer friction points, and prioritizing product vision.
The presentation will detail how MyRealTrip restructured its cross-functional product teams to thrive under this new paradigm. By delegating iterative coding tasks to automated agents built on Claude, the company’s human engineers and product managers were empowered to focus their efforts entirely on systemic design, user empathy, and business logic validation.
A Global Platform for Collaboration The selection of MyRealTrip highlights the deepening integration between global AI research laboratories and agile regional market leaders. As enterprise adoption of generative AI accelerates globally, the focus is rapidly shifting from foundational model training to downstream application engineering and localized operational efficiency.
"As a corporation that collaborates incredibly closely with Claude on a daily basis across our entire technical stack, it is deeply meaningful to stand on a global stage hosted directly by Anthropic," Wonjin Heo stated in an official press release ahead of the event.
Heo added, "This conference represents an unparalleled opportunity to share the deep, hard-earned operational insights and practical production experience accumulated by MyRealTrip and our subsidiary AICX. We look forward to engaging directly with international developers who are utilizing the exact same tools to build the next generation of software, ultimately fostering a collaborative global dialogue on the future of AI-driven industries."
