We’re a data and AI company in Pangyo, the tech hub just south of Seoul, and we’ve run on grit from day one.
We kept our job titles. With AI, we outgrew them.
We paired each kind of grit with one role. Flip the switch to see how far that role reaches with AI.
GGrowth
Grow toward one goal
Growth only counts if we’re all headed the same way. So we agree on where we’re going first, then move together.
Developer+ AI
Coding
Testing
Out of reach without AI
Problem definition
Product planning
User flows
When the people who build the product also plan it, nothing gets lost between the idea and the launch.
RResilience
Fail fast, bounce back
Test fast, fail fast, fix fast. Then we share what we learned with the whole team.
AI developer+ AI
Building AI
Out of reach without AI
AI that builds AI
And the AI that builds that one
We build the AI that builds our AI, so experiments are quick. We can build a demo over a weekend.
We launched three new products this year alone.
IIntrepid
Move without fear
Nobody has to push us, and fear doesn’t hold us back.

Pilots
We don’t hesitate, even on work we’ve never done before. That’s how our product planners ended up building AI agents themselves.
Our CEO, TJ Park, left a 13-year career at Naver, the South Korean internet giant, to start 4GRIT. We then expanded into Japan with Dentsu as our partner.
TTenacity
Own it until it’s solved
There’s no “not my job” here. Every problem we find is ours.

Problems outside their role

Other teams’ work
We share the work with AI. We never share the responsibility.
Our team names just tell you who owns what.

Our goal since 2015
Our methods have changed many times since then. Our goal hasn’t.
A world where data is second nature to everyone
AI, our products, the way we work: they’re all just ways to get there.
Products we run today
So we build our own products and run them ourselves
Most analytics tools need a tag for every event and a developer for every change. Beusable needs neither. It records every on-screen interaction, then shows where customers look, click, and leave in heatmaps and journey maps.
Tracks how eight AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, describe your brand, then automatically optimizes your content so those answers get better. It measures again to prove the gains, and the cycle starts over.
All the friction of traditional BI, gone. No setup, no tool to learn. Just ask, and AI analyzes your data and builds the dashboard or report on the spot.

Manifesto
Grit means finishing the job,even when no one is watching.We go by our own standards,not other people’s judgment.When people say it can’t be done,we try it and judge for ourselves.When we’re wrong, we’re the first to admit it.Even when no one asks,we move first and own the result.If you want to make the call and own it, we should talk.
