Kakao will take part in the World IT Show 2026, held at Seoul COEX from the 22nd to the 24th, and unveil agentic AI services centered on its unified AI brand "Kanana."
The theme of the exhibit is "A day with Kanana, agentic AI woven into the daily lives of 50 million." This year's World IT Show, hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, carries the slogan "From thought to action, moving the reality of AI."
Kakao prepared a story-style booth where visitors can experience AI use cases aligned with daily routines from morning to night. In the "Kanana in KakaoTalk experience zone," it will introduce schedule briefings and personalized place and gift recommendations, and in the video zone it will demonstrate summary of chats and calls, On-device AI that understands conversational context and acts proactively, and the execution process of "Kakao Tools," which links with external partner services.
There will also be a public-service "AI National Secretary" experience zone and an event that uses the image generation model "Kanana Collage" to create and print "Jjoerdy" from Kakao Friends resembling visitors' faces.
This year's World IT Show is Korea's largest AI and ICT exhibition, with 460 companies from 17 countries participating across 1,400 booths. "Kanana in KakaoTalk," which Kakao is highlighting, finished CBT in March and has entered full operation; it is an On-device AI that reads conversational context and proactively proposes schedule briefings and information and place recommendations.
