Kakao said Tuesday it will join World IT Show 2026 under the theme, “A Day with Kanana, Agentic AI woven into the daily lives of 50 million.” Hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, the event runs from Tuesday through Thursday at COEX in Seoul under the slogan, “Beyond thought to action: AI moves reality.”
Kakao said its exhibit is designed as an experience space where visitors can try agentic AI services tailored to everyday routines. The company said it presents, in a story-based format, how AI operates across a full day from morning to evening.
The booth is divided into hands-on and video demonstration areas. In the “Kanana in KakaoTalk Experience Zone,” visitors can try features such as schedule briefings and personalized recommendations for places and gifts. The “Kanana Summarize Video Zone” introduces functions that automatically organize chat messages and call content.
In the “Kanana in KakaoTalk Video Zone,” Kakao demonstrates on-device AI that understands conversation context in real time and acts after recognizing situations without a user request. The “Kakao Tools Video Zone” shows how requests are carried out through connections between Kakao services and external partner services.
An “AI National Secretary Experience Zone” highlights AI use cases expanded into public services. In the final area, Kakao is also running an event using its in-house image generation model, “Kanana Collage,” to analyze visitors’ photos, generate the Kakao Friends character “Jjorudi,” and print the result on the spot.
A Kakao official said the company aimed to show how AI can blend naturally into daily life through an integrated AI ecosystem linking services, platforms and technology. The official said the exhibit will offer a direct look at the direction of Kakao AI as it evolves toward agentic AI.
