Problem

As the number of Gen MZ users confiding emotions to generative AI surges, AI counseling service operators are multiplying — yet most operators and product managers launch services without training in counseling ethics or crisis intervention protocols. When AI responds inappropriately to crisis signals such as suicidal ideation or self-harm expressions, operators face legal liability and brand risk, with post-incident response averaging 2-4 weeks and external consulting costs of $3,750-$15,000 (~500-2,000만원).

Solution

An online certification training Platform for AI counseling service operations teams. Features: (1) crisis intervention scenario-based practice modules (20 types including suicide, self-harm, abuse), (2) AI response quality checklist auto-generator, (3) quarterly ethics audit Report templates. Differentiated by a Korea-specific curriculum reflecting Korean Psychological Association guidelines and the Mental Health Welfare Act.

Target: PMs and CS team leaders at Startups with 5-30 employees operating AI chatbot/AI counseling services, ages 20-30s
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at $44/month (~5.9만원) per team (5 users), $7.40/month (~9,900 KRW) per additional user. Certificate issuance at $14.25 (~1.9만원) Per Transaction. 20% discount for Annual Subscription.
