The Seoul Metropolitan Government is launching **generative AI service support** for Seoul Learn members. The core is simple: among Seoul Learn students in high school or older, the first 1,000 selected participants can use paid generative AI services without separate subscription costs.

AI in learning has moved beyond simple search. It can summarize writing, guide problem solving, refine English sentences, and help with career-exploration questions. Paid AI services, however, can be a cost burden for students. This Seoul Learn program focuses on lowering that barrier.

## What is Seoul Learn generative AI service support?

**Seoul Learn generative AI service support** helps students participating in Seoul Learn use the latest AI services for study. According to the promotional image, selected participants can use a total of nine paid generative AI services, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, for free.

Rather than simply handing out AI accounts, it is closer to an education-support program that reduces learning gaps and broadens AI-use experience. High-school-and-older students can use AI for assignments, admissions preparation, personal-statement drafts, career exploration, and foreign-language learning.

## Recruitment and support period

| Category | Details |
|—|—|
| Recruitment period | June 9 to June 26 |
| Support period | June 2026 to February 2027 |
| Number recruited | First 1,000 participants |
| Target | Seoul Learn participating students in high school or older |
| Application method | Online application on the Seoul Learn website or participation through the pre-diagnosis QR code |

Because the support period runs until February 2027, selected students can use AI services for a relatively long period, not just a short-term semester trial.

## Who can apply?

The target is 1,000 Seoul Learn participating students in high school or older. The important condition is Seoul Learn membership. This should be understood as an education-support program for Seoul Learn participants rather than a public event open to everyone.

The image also says, “Check eligibility requirements and application on the Seoul Learn website.” Before applying, confirm participation eligibility, grade criteria, selection method, and pre-diagnosis conditions on the Seoul Learn site.

## Which AI services can be used for free?

The guide mentions nine paid generative AI services, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Each has different strengths.

– ChatGPT: useful for writing, summarizing, organizing problem-solving approaches, and expanding ideas.
– Claude: strong for reading long text, summarizing materials, and refining sentences.
– Gemini: useful for information exploration and document support connected with the Google ecosystem.
– Perplexity: a search-style AI useful for research and checking sources.

For students, the important question is not “Which AI is best?” but “Which AI should I use for this assignment or learning situation?” For example, use explanatory AI for first understanding a concept and search-style AI for source research.

## How to apply

The image describes two routes.

– **Online application on the Seoul Learn website.** The image shows the address http://slearn.seoul.go.kr.
– **Participation through the pre-diagnosis QR code.** The guide says final selection follows review of the AI Ollie guide and participation in a pre-competency diagnosis.

This means the process may not be just pressing an application button. AI-use guide review and pre-diagnosis may be part of selection, so read the application page through the end.

## How should students use it?

If selected, use AI as a learning coach rather than an answer generator.

For a math problem, instead of immediately asking for the answer, ask, “What concept should I check first in this problem?” For English writing, ask, “Please make this sentence more natural and explain why you revised it that way.” That creates more learning value.

Recommended uses include:

– Have an unfamiliar concept explained at a level a middle-school student can understand.
– Summarize long passages or textbook content into key sentences.
– Receive English-sentence corrections and check the reasons.
– Create lists of questions about careers or majors.
– Structure presentation materials for performance assessments.
– Check sources and evidence during research.

Submitting AI-generated answers as-is is risky. The answer may contain errors or may not match school assignment rules. Use AI responses as drafts and references; final judgment and expression should be the student’s own.

## Checklist before applying

– Am I a Seoul Learn participating student?
– Am I included in the high-school-or-older criterion?
– Am I applying during June 9–June 26?
– Is a pre-diagnosis QR or AI-use guide procedure required?
– Which AI services can I use after selection, and until when?
– Do I know the rules for using AI in school assignments or test preparation?

Because recruitment is described as first-come for 1,000 students, interested students should check quickly within the application period.

## Conclusion

Seoul Learn generative AI service support is an opportunity for students to experience the latest AI tools without cost burden. The important point is not only free access, but the experience of properly connecting AI to learning.

AI is not a tool that studies instead of you. But if you ask good questions, it can be a strong assistant for concept understanding, writing, research, and career exploration. Seoul Learn students in high school or older should check the recruitment period and conditions.
