LG Uplus announced on the 18th that devices capable of using the AI currency agent service 'ixi-O' have been expanded to the iPhone 12 and above. Previously, only iPhone 14 and above devices could use ixi-O, but with an update, customers with iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 can also use ixi-O.
Launched on Nov. 7, ixi-O is an AI-based service that offers features such as visual calls, call answering instead, real-time voice phishing, call recording, and summarization in an on-device environment. With the recent update, all customers with iPhone models released after the iPhone 12 can download and use ixi-O without any additional expense.
Since its launch, ixi-O has surpassed 100,000 downloads in just ten days, and as of Dec. 7, one month after its release, the number of downloads is nearing 200,000, showing its popularity. With this update allowing virtually all iPhone users to access ixi-O, the number of ixi-O users and downloads is expected to increase rapidly.
In particular, it was found that two out of three overall ixi-O users are in their 20s and 30s. An analysis of the age distribution of ixi-O users showed that those in their 30s account for 32.5%, while those in their 20s account for 31.6%. This is followed by those in their 40s at 19.4%, teenagers at 8.5%, and those aged 50 and above at 8.1%.
In the future, LG Uplus plans to continuously enhance the service to enable more customers to use ixi-O. Next year, new services will be developed to allow Android device users to access ixi-O, expanding beyond just iPhones.
Choi Yoon-ho, head of the AI agent promotion group at LG Uplus, noted, "We have expanded the scope of ixi-O application to include iPhone 12 and above so that more customers can feel the benefit of AI in real life. We will continuously upgrade the ixi-O service to provide customers with a differentiated AI experience in the future."
