Generative AI (GenAI) tools are now common learning companions for adolescents, yet how they regulate their use during authentic learning tasks remains poorly understood. Self-regulated learning (SRL) and high-level help-seeking (HS) are commonly proposed as safeguards against passive or shortcut-oriented use, but most empirical studies focus on aggregate learning outcomes rather than these moment-to-moment processes during AI-supported learning. This work-in-progress examines open-ended conversational data from 98 Grade-9 students across three German Gymnasium schools, who used a web-based Mistral-Large tutor to prepare a curriculum-aligned mathematics skill before an exam. Alongside chat logs (1,616 turns; 808 student turns), we collected pre-post domain knowledge, pre-chat learning needs, and self-reported cognitive load. We propose a turn-level codebook combining theory-driven SRL and HS constructs with two LLM-specific inductive codes (agency over the AI; epistemic vigilance), and report preliminary AI-coded results. Although students overwhelmingly selected scaffolded support before the chat, their interactions were dominated by instrumental requests with almost no explicit monitoring or evaluation. Post-test performance was significantly lower than pre-test, and higher extraneous cognitive load predicted lower post-test scores after controlling for prior knowledge. We discuss how these patterns can support hybrid human-AI analysis of interaction patterns and inform scaffolds for more agentic and epistemically proactive GenAI use.
