About BYZ — Concierge Platform for Foreign Residents in Korea
BYZ Co., Ltd. (byourz.com) is a South Korea–based startup whose name stands for “By Your Side.”
For the era of the global citizen, BYZ operates Howto, a platform that helps foreign residents in Korea settle and live — resolving visa, labor, legal, and administrative challenges — powered by an AI real-time interpretation and transcription engine at its core.
Our interpretation technology originates from a disaster-prevention application program by Korea’s Ministry of Employment and Labor and KOSHA (Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency).
We build domain-specific interpretation engines that go beyond general translation to accurately convey professional terminology in medical and industrial settings.

Our Mission
Always by your side.
BYZ helps foreign residents live conveniently and with their rights protected in a new country, and supports the small businesses and institutions that host them.
- For foreign residents (Howto) — visa rights analysis, labor·legal·administrative help, and medical, finance, and everyday-life support, with real-time domain-specific interpretation.
- For small businesses (Howto: Works) — an all-in-one labor & attendance membership: two expert consultations per month included, members-only legal fees, and foreign-employee support (visa, interpretation).
- As a public good — free interpretation for language-vulnerable groups: migrant workers, single-nurse rural health posts, and multicultural patients who otherwise cannot access professional interpretation.
