Naver has added an AI chatbot to its advertiser centre. Advertisers can ask questions and get answers without waiting for a human agent, around the clock.
What it does
The chatbot answers immediately inside the advertiser centre chat window, grounded in help documentation and ad registration standards.
- Answers come with navigation buttons that lead straight to the relevant action
- When escalation is needed, the conversation transfers automatically to a human agent
The second point is what practitioners will feel. You do not have to re-explain from the beginning after handing off.

The caveat that matters
Naver explicitly states that AI answers may lag behind the latest policy, and advises checking the original help documentation and ad registration standards for anything important.
That is not boilerplate. Rejections of creative and account-level enforcement are judged against the policy text. If you run based on a chatbot answer and get rejected, the consequence stays with the advertiser.
A working rule
- Routine questions — use the chatbot, including nights and weekends
- Questions with delivery consequences — check the source text or escalate
- Right after a policy change — do not take chatbot answers at face value
One more date to note
Ad system maintenance is also scheduled for late July, which freezes product data and creative edits during specific windows — worth checking alongside this rollout.
