Kakao will provide education to help small business owners and startups nationwide use artificial intelligence (AI).

Kakao announced on the 18th that it will operate the "Kakao Class-AI Business Practical Course" with 11 Creative Economy Innovation Centers nationwide, including the Jeju Creative Economy Innovation Center.

This process is a reorganization of the 'Kakao Class' that has been going on since 2016 into an AI-centered process this year.

This course will be conducted in a step-by-step structure that leads to online lectures by level, hands-on camps, one-on-one in-depth mentoring, and awards for excellent companies.

The training consists of 10 lectures by level, including the introductory course "AX Starter Pack" and the advanced course "AX Booster Pack." The curriculum included setting targets and deriving marketing messages using AI, operating KakaoTalk channels and producing contents, producing advertisements and analyzing performance, automating counseling and messages using Kakao's AI service Canana, and verifying new businesses.

Online training will be available from October 1 to November 30 on the Kakao Class-only page in the Kakao Business Seminar, and AI guides and industry-specific templates will be provided to those who have completed the course.

Kakao will select 100 small business owners and companies that completed early in October and provide an opportunity to participate in the "AI 1-Day Practical Camp" at SVC in Seoul on November 10 and Kakao Biz Wallet of 300,000 won. In addition, five of the best companies selected will be provided with benefits worth a total of 13 million won, including advertising subsidies.

Applications for classes will be made on the application page, the website of Jeju With Kakao, and the website of 11 Creative Economy Innovation Centers nationwide until November 27.

An official from Kakao said, "We have prepared this program so that small business owners and startups across the country who want to expand their business opportunities by utilizing AI can lay the groundwork for practical growth."
