KT plans an October test for its everyday AI assistant

South Korean telecom company KT plans a closed beta of Everyone’s AI in October and public access in December. The service would select domestic models and connect everyday services through one interface. A Seoul demonstration already showed housing recommendations linked to Zigbang. The first test focuses on understanding questions and answering them, with bookings, purchases and wider account connections planned for later stages.

An October beta precedes planned December access

South Korean telecom company KT presented Everyone’s AI at AI Festa in Seoul on October 7. It plans a closed beta during October and a public service in December. The initial test focuses on understanding users’ questions and supplying answers about everyday information. Booking, buying and taking actions in connected services are functions the company intends to expand after that first testing stage.[1], [2]

Housing recommendations connect to Zigbang

At the Seoul demonstration, Bizwatch’s reporter tried housing recommendations and comparisons connected to Zigbang, a housing service. The system brought apartment suggestions and information about their differences into the same interaction.[1]

KT’s broader plan connects South Korean models with search, shopping, finance, housing and education. It proposes selecting a model according to the request, so a user can reach several services through one interface.[2]

Account linking and authentication remain part of the rollout

KT outlined login through Daum, a South Korean portal, with partner accounts to be connected in the first half of next year. Authentication and protection of personal information are also to be tested as outside services join the system. The housing demonstration showed recommendations; the account-linking timetable and wider execution features remain announced plans. December is the company’s target for opening the service to the public.[1], [2]
