SEONIK
Research Engine 1.0

From a question to evidence. Information for your next step.

01 / RESEARCH

AI, focused on your startup

SEONIK uses Google Gemini API alongside web research and connected official information to help you investigate startup questions.

Your question

AI assistance

Sources & evidence

Your judgment

An overview of the research experience. The information used depends on your question.

Ask naturally

Bring your situation and conditions in your own words.

Inspect evidence

Distinguish web-based results and official material; follow available source links.

Continue the investigation

Ask a follow-up in the active conversation. Important conditions may need to be stated again.

02 / SOURCES

Different sources Different roles

WEB

Public web information

When needed, Google Search grounding supports investigation of web information. Associated sources and search suggestions accompany grounded results.

Google documentation

OFFICIAL

Connected official material

Official records can supplement startup research when a relevant source is available. Availability, freshness and licensing vary by source.

Source standards

Official source coverage

Startup support

K-Startup and Ministry of SMEs and Startups notices. Compare available applicant conditions, dates and original material.

Organizations, training and spaces

Startup organization, training and space records. A listing does not confirm open enrollment or vacancies.

Statistics and population

KOSIS and population observations. Periods and units matter; population is not proof of demand.

Public procurement

Public bid notices. This does not mean complete procurement coverage or guaranteed contracting opportunities.

Trade and calculations

Item, country and period trade observations. Supported calculations check units and retain source references; complete annual totals are not guaranteed.

Sources depend on your question and availability. Full current-law text is not included. Source names do not imply partnerships.

03 / EXAMPLES

Start with a real question

Illustrative examples written by SEONIK, not live responses.

I am preparing a startup in Seoul. Where should I begin with support programs and training?

SEONIK / ILLUSTRATION

Look at support programs and training separately. Eligibility can depend on registration, business age and location. Compare applicant requirements, dates and the responsible organization in each notice.

What the result can include

Relevant notices and conditions to verify
Available organization, original source and date information
Missing or unverified information

Not a live list of open programs. Results depend on the retrieval date and connected sources.

Testing an idea

I am considering a luggage storage service for travelers. What should I investigate?

Consider travel routes, storage times and the locations and prices of existing alternatives. Separate facts supported by public material from assumptions that need interviews or field research.

Not a measured market-size or viability result. Missing numbers should not be invented.

Overseas markets

I want to export cosmetics to Vietnam. How can I investigate demand and entry requirements?

Trade trends and entry requirements need different evidence. Align the product category, period and units in statistics; verify certification and import conditions in current official material.

Not a confirmed trade statistic or legal requirement. Some material may be unavailable depending on connection status.

From information to a next step

Illustrative walkthroughs, not live AI answers or customer success stories.

01Compare support options

I have not registered my business in Seoul. Should I start with training or commercialization support?

Illustrative comparison
Criterion	Training & mentoring	Commercialization
Immediate need	Customer and problem hypotheses	Execution plan and budget
Check in the notice	Pre-founder eligibility	Registration date and overlapping aid
Next action	Check training schedules	Compare requirements and documents

Training and funding serve different needs. If eligibility is unverified, the result should identify the missing conditions, not assert that you can apply.

02Validate an idea

I am considering luggage storage near a station. Is a high visitor count enough to start?

Illustrative comparison
Hypothesis	Evidence needed	Next check
Storage demand exists	Travel routes and storage times	Interview intended customers
Alternatives are limited	Competitor locations and prices	Check availability on site
Repeatable revenue is possible	Acquisition and per-order costs	Run a small paid pilot

Visitor counts are not paying-customer counts. Separate what public material supports from assumptions requiring direct validation.
