AI study management for Korea's managed study halls

Saebom Study Hall (새봄면학관) runs a managed study hall in Suwon, Korea, and builds the software that runs it: attendance, focus tracking, AI planner review with Claude, and reports for parents.

The problem

A managed study hall (관리형 독서실) is a supervised self-study center where high-school students study after school. Owners promise parents discipline and progress, but most of the work is manual: checking attendance, calling parents, and reading students' handwritten study planners one by one.

Product

Student app (iOS · Android)QR check-in that works only inside the hall, a focus timer, study rankings and rewards, penalty appeals, and study-room booking.
AI planner reviewStudents submit a photo of their handwritten daily planner. Claude reads it and gives feedback on what was planned, what was completed, and 4-week study-habit patterns.
Parent reportsPush notifications for check-in, check-out and outings, and a monthly learning report drafted with Claude.
Tutor toolsOMR grading, a question bank, and math practice problems generated and checked with Claude.

Students do not chat with the AI freely. Claude's output is shown inside the app, and staff supervise it.

Next

Today the study hall is open to students of our own math academy, Saebom Math, so we can validate the system with students we already know. Next, we plan to open it to outside students, and then offer Saebom as a subscription service to other study halls. About 2,000 study halls are registered with Korean education offices.
