A space for hands-on experience has been prepared at the Best Shop Gangnam Main Branch.

LG Electronics continues to expand opportunities for customers to experience its artificial intelligence 'ThinQ'.

LG Electronics recently set up a space where visitors can experience its artificial intelligence 'ThinQ' at the Best Shop Gangnam Main Branch in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

Here, customers can experience the AI lifestyle provided by LG 'ThinQ' through various AI products and IoT home appliances and devices, including LG Electronics' AI speaker 'ThinQ Hub', Whisen ThinQ air conditioners, and LG OLED TV AI ThinQ.

In particular, customers can conveniently monitor the status and control the operation of LG home appliances, such as air purifiers, washing machines, and refrigerators, using only their voice through LG Electronics' AI speaker, 'ThinQ Hub'. For example, if a visitor says, "Hi LG, turn on the air purifier," the air purifier connected to the 'ThinQ Hub' starts operating.

Through 'ThinQ Hub,' customers can also access a variety of lifestyle-oriented content provided by Naver's AI platform 'Clova,' such as music, traffic, local, and lifestyle information, translation, English conversation, news, search, and podcasts. When a visitor says, “Hi LG, find me a good restaurant nearby,” the ThinQ Hub provides the names and contact information of nearby restaurants via screen and voice.

In particular, 'ThinQ Hub' tells you if the refrigerator door is open, and automatically notifies you of the time to replace filters for air conditioners or air purifiers, or to clean the washing machine drum.

In addition to the Best Shop Gangnam Main Branch, customers can experience 'ThinQ' on the 5th floor of the 'Signature Kitchen Suite' showroom in Nonhyeon-dong. There are also 'ThinQ' experience spaces for key business partners at the LG Electronics Seocho R&D Campus and LG Science Park. LG Electronics plans to continuously expand the number of experience spaces for its artificial intelligence 'ThinQ' in the future.

'ThinQ' is an artificial intelligence brand launched by LG Electronics late last year, encompassing LG Electronics' products and services equipped with various AI technologies. At 'CES 2018' held in Las Vegas, USA in January of this year, LG Electronics created a large-scale 'ThinQ' experience space, presenting visitors with a differentiated and integrated AI experience unique to LG Electronics.

An official from LG Electronics emphasized, “We plan to continuously build LG’s unique and differentiated artificial intelligence image that encompasses home appliances and mobile through ‘ThinQ’.”
