KT said on the 3rd it will launch Sajang-easy, a platform dedicated to small business owners. Sajang-easy is a small-business growth full-care platform service that integrates and provides business operations information and services. KT's table order service Hi-Order, GiGAeyes (CCTV), and KT serving robots can be managed in a single app. Sajang-easy is available for download in all app markets.
KT introduced small-business-only AI to Sajang-easy. The representative services are AI agent, AI image creation, AI call, AI in-store music, AI robot, and business growth report.
First, Sajang-easy's AI agent learns small-business expertise to help solve owners' real concerns. For example, if a user asks about the expected expense and average sales for opening a cafe in Seongsu-dong, the AI agent provides specific and practical help by reflecting local and industry information such as the average sales of cafes in Seongsu-dong, the number of establishments, and month-over-month sales changes.
The AI image creation feature helps make everything from menu images to social media promotional posters more easily. With AI, users can remove photo backgrounds or apply appropriate filters for easier image editing, and create video-like effects from photos with moving effects.
The business growth report compares sales and key customer groups of my store and nearby stores to provide essential information needed for starting and running a business. It also offers analysis of customer and menu trends. For prospective owners considering starting a business, it even calculates startup expense and expected revenue by region and industry.
For the AI call service, if you save the information you want to announce—such as store promotions or closed days—as text, the AI delivers it to customers in a natural voice. You can set different announcements by date and time, and the AI summarizes missed calls. Stores can respond without losing customers who showed interest and inquired. AI calls will be applied to Sajang-easy in Nov.
To let small business owners experience these AI services firsthand, KT will offer the AI call and AI in-store music services free for three months. AI image creation can also be used 100 times for free.
To mark the launch of Sajang-easy and Small Business Owners Day (Nov. 5), KT is also running the "So, Happy Together" campaign. Small Business Owners Day was designated as a statutory anniversary to raise public awareness of small business owners, improve their social and economic status, and enhance relations with local residents. As part of the campaign, the company will provide win-win coupons worth 10,000 won for small business owners to KT customers, 150,000 per month for two months. Customers can use these coupons at participating Hi-Order stores until Jan. 14, 2026. The win-win coupons can be downloaded from the KT Membership app starting Nov. 14.
With this campaign, KT is also enhancing benefits for small business owners. For those operating late into the night, it will extend hours of its dedicated customer center and Hi-Order support center until 2 a.m. Consultations are available for internet, TV, phone, and Hi-Order.
In addition, KT will hold events for small business owners every Wednesday. Essentials such as aprons and airtight containers will be given free to the first 300 people. Monthly prize benefits are also prepared. In Nov., refrigerators and stylers, and in Dec., massage chairs and water purifiers will be offered by lottery to small business owners who have verified their business. Small business customers will receive a 10GB data coupon each month for three months when visiting a KT store. KT has also launched a small-business-only co-branded card in collaboration with Shinhan Card.
