Organic Integration of ThinQ on Appliances with Xi Infrastructure

LG Electronics announced on July 13 that it will embark on the joint development of next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) homes with GS Construction.

The two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the joint development of next-generation AI homes on July 10 at the Grand Seoul Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul, attended by Jaecheol Ryu, President of LG Electronics, and Yoon Hong Huh, CEO of GS Construction, along with other executives.

Through this agreement, LG Electronics plans to advance its AI home by organically linking its AI home hub "ThinQ on"—which integrates appliances, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and various services—with the infrastructure of GS Construction's residential brand "Xi."

The core objective is not only to expand convenience for individual households by enabling control of home devices, lighting, heating, ventilation, power outlets, and gas valves, but also to connect community infrastructure—such as elevator calls, parking location checks, visitor history, and community facility reservations—into a single system, thereby making residents’ daily lives even more convenient.

In addition, the AI will naturally converse with users, understand the context of their daily lives, and provide a hyper-personalized residential experience by suggesting or automatically executing functions tailored to each individual's living patterns.

This agreement is an extension of the Memorandum of Understanding signed last April to establish a service model for future-ready residential robots. At that time, both companies agreed to develop design standards for robot-friendly apartments and jointly create robot service scenarios within living spaces. They are also working to implement on-site services using the home robot "LG Cloid" and autonomous serving and delivery robots within residential complexes.

President Ryu stated, "By combining LG Electronics' AI home solutions with Xi's infrastructure, we will provide a new residential experience that makes customers' daily lives more convenient and valuable. We hope that, through the collaboration between both companies, we can set a new standard for future living where AI, robotics, and space are harmoniously integrated."

CEO Huh commented, "The future of residential living does not simply come from adding more devices, but from the integration of AI and space into a single residential experience. Together with LG Electronics, our top-tier technology partner, we will create a new standard for future living that customers can truly experience and appreciate."
