AI Lab for Everyone Vibe Coding, 40,000 free points per person

Free limit: Up to 40,000 vibe-coding points per person. The official promotional notice describes these as vibe-coding tokens worth 40,000 won per person. Each task deducts 500~1,000 points depending on complexity, with no deduction during onboarding, when the project’s basic structure is established.

Eligibility: Any citizen interested in developing AI services can use it for free. Sign in with Government Integrated Authentication (Any-ID), a mobile ID, simple authentication, a financial certificate, or a Naver, Kakao, or Payco account. After signing in, go to [Apply to Use] > [Apply for Vibe Coding], watch all 3 steps of the training videos, and enter your project name and purpose of use. Your application will be automatically approved immediately.

If you exceed the limit: Once you have used all your points, you cannot create new projects, enter prompts in AI chat, or generate or edit code. You can only view existing source code and outputs. No additional points or separate top-ups are available.

Not included: API keys for external AI models such as Claude, Gemini, and GPT, and individual GPUs are not provided. To connect an external model, you must register an API key that you have obtained yourself. Unlike vibe coding, cloud (CPU-based) resources and development support tools are assigned after an administrator reviews the purpose and plan of use. The review takes up to 3 business days.

Usage period: When the program ends on December 31, 2026, all cloud and development support tool resources will be reclaimed and the data will be deleted, so you must back it up beforehand. The Vibe Coding application deadline, point expiration date, and whether card registration is required need to be confirmed.
