WHAT

What is inline AI?

inline AI is a Windows AI assistant from Korean company Elements. It opens and edits Hangul (HWP), Excel, Word, and PowerPoint files directly on your computer. It is used where official documents and reports circulate as HWP files.

  • 1Edit Hangul (HWP) files directly, with no copy and paste
  • 2It works with files staying on your computer
  • 3Start free, and upgrade when you run out of credits

WHY

What sets it apart

These are the differences we found by running the same material through several tools in our training sessions.

📄

Works directly with Hangul files

There is no pasting into a chat window and copying results back. It opens and edits the document directly inside the Hangul (HWP) program. Formatting stays intact, which matters more than any feature list when you handle documents for submission to public institutions.

🗂️

Hand over a whole folder

It reads Excel files, PDFs, and images scattered across a folder, not just a single file, and combines them into one deliverable. Copying figures from file to file becomes a single instruction. It suits labor-intensive work such as settlements and performance roll-ups.

💻

It runs on your own computer

You don’t upload files somewhere to work on them. The installed program handles files right where they sit on your machine. That is why organizations that can’t send files outside evaluate it first. You still need to confirm separately what data gets processed.

⚖️ The weaknesses are clear, too

The installer on the official page is for Windows, so Mac users can’t use it out of the box. It runs on credits, so handing over a large folder uses them up quickly. Above all, it is a tool that edits files directly, so if you don’t keep a copy of the original, undoing changes is a hassle.

💡 In plain English

It is less a ghostwriter who takes your materials and writes for you, and more a colleague at the next desk who sits at your seat and edits your files directly.

🏢 Why it matters for organizations

Public institutions, associations, and the companies that work with them still exchange documents in Hangul (HWP). This tool earns its place wherever pasting into a chatbot keeps breaking the formatting.

SCENE

Same job, different approach

Friday afternoon, and a Hangul (HWP) performance report for an institution is still due

The old way

  1. Open several Excel files and check the numbers
  2. Retype it into the Hangul (HWP) table cell by cell
  3. Formatting breaks every time you paste, so you fix it again
  4. The totals don’t add up, so you re-check everything from the start

With inline AI

  1. Keep a Hangul (HWP) template file open
  2. Tell it, 'Look at the files in the folder and fill in this table.'
  3. See what will change on the confirmation screen before fixing
  4. Have it check the totals, then submit
USE

Common uses

01

Filling in official documents and report templates

Open your standard Hangul (HWP) template and tell it, 'Fill in the table using the materials in the folder.' The template stays as is, and only the content goes in.

02

Merging scattered files into one table

Hand over a whole folder mixing Excel files, PDFs, and receipt photos, and have it combine them into one organized Excel file. Tell it to filter out duplicate entries as well.

03

Pre-submission document check

Keep your finished document open and have the tool check totals and missing items. You still make the final call, but it flags what you may have missed by eye.

FIT

Who it’s for

Best for

  • ✓People who submit Hangul (HWP) documents to public institutions or associations
  • ✓People who pull numbers from multiple files into one table
  • ✓Anyone at an organization that can’t upload files to outside services

Better served by other tools

  • –People who work only on a Mac or tablet
  • –People who mainly want to talk through ideas rather than work on documents
  • –People whose main job is image or video production
SECURITY

Can we use it at work?

The questions that adoption leads and security teams ask first.

Is my input used for training?The official introduction describes it as a 'local AI agent' that handles files on your own computer. However, you need to check separately what content leaves your machine when the AI model is called.
Business and team plansA Team plan is available for team use. Organization-wide adoption is offered through a separate enterprise product made up of a data platform, AI agents, and App Builder.
In every caseRunning on your computer is not the same as nothing leaving it. Get the data-processing scope in writing before adopting it.

Verify before adopting: check the 'Data Security' section of the official page and the full terms of service to see which data is sent to external AI models and whether it is used for training.

START

10-minute quick start

  1. 1

    Download the Windows installer from the official page and install it.

  2. 2

    Log in with the Free plan, then open a Hangul (HWP) document you were working on today.

  3. 3

    Start with small, easy-to-check tasks, such as 'Check whether the totals in this table are correct.'

  4. 4

    A confirmation screen shows what will change before you apply any fix.

PROMPT

Copy-and-paste prompts

Replace only the [bracketed] parts, then paste it in.

Fill a table from folder files
Look at the files in [folder name] and fill in the [table name] table in the Hangul (HWP) document that is open now. Next to each row, leave a note with the name of the file the data came from. Leave any cell with no value blank and tell me which ones.
Organize scattered expenses
Read all the Excel files, PDF invoices, and receipt photos in [folder name] and consolidate them into one Excel file. Use these columns: date, vendor, expense category, amount, source file. Flag any entries that look like duplicates.
Draft an official letter
Using the Hangul (HWP) official-letter template that is open now, write a draft about [subject]. Use the tone of an official letter sent to an agency, keep the template and fonts as they are, and fill in only the body text.
Pre-submission check
Check this document before I submit it. In order, verify that the table totals are correct, that the numbers in the body match the numbers in the table, and that no fields are blank, then list only the places that need fixing. Do not fix anything yet.
Unify formatting across multiple files
Open the Hangul files in [folder name] and match the title font and table formatting to [reference file name]. Don’t change the body text; only touch the formatting.
RECIPE

Using it with other tools

Linking two or three tools changes your work more than any single tool does.

From research to submitting official documents

1Use Perplexity to gather policies and supporting sources, with citations
2Use Claude to polish the body text of an official letter
3Use inline AI to drop it into the Hangul (HWP) template and check the totals

From meeting minutes to performance reports

1Use Galaxy AI to turn the meeting recording into text and get a summary
2Use Claude to organize decisions and figures into a table
3Use inline AI to fill tables in a Hangul (HWP) performance report template
CAUTION

Before you start

  • The installer on the official page is for Windows. If you use a Mac, check compatibility first.
  • Running on your computer is not the same as nothing leaving it.
  • It is a tool that edits files directly. Always make a copy of the original before giving it instructions.
  • It runs on credits, so handing over a large folder all at once drains your limit quickly.

HONEST

Drawbacks of inline AI

We don’t just list the positives. Here is what fell short when we used it.

  • The free 500 credits are just a taste

    The Free plan’s 500 monthly credits run out after polishing just a few documents. You hit the limit before you can really try it on your work, so the decision ends up being made on a paid plan.

  • Few examples to learn from yet

    As a new Korean tool, it still has few hands-on examples or screen videos you can search for and follow. You will need some time to experiment on your own to get a sense of how much you can ask of it.

  • Team use requires a large upfront payment

    The Team plan starts at KRW 600,000, (≈ US$450) paid once for a year of use. For a few people who just want to try sharing it casually, that is a heavy commitment. There is no easy way to test it month by month.

COMPARE

Tools to compare

FAQ

Yes. The official pricing page lists a Free plan at KRW 0 (≈ US$1) with 500 credits per month. It includes Excel and Hangul (HWP) document editing, plus reading of PDF, Word, and PPT files. For more usage, Pro is KRW 29,900 (≈ US$22) per month.
Yes. It is a Korean-language tool built by a Korean company, and working directly with Hangul (HWP) files is its core strength. You notice it most when dealing with official-document phrasing or the formats institutions require for submissions.
A team plan exists, and a separate enterprise product is listed for organizations. However, handling files on your own computer is a separate matter from what content leaves during calls to the AI model. Confirm the data-processing scope in writing before adopting it.
