Meet Kibi: Seoul’s AI Guide That Changes Expressions with Every Answer
Meet Kibi — knewsdaily’s new AI guide for anyone living in, visiting, or curious about Seoul. She’s now live at knewsdaily.com/kibi, and she’s not your average chatbot.
She speaks your language — automatically
Ask in Korean, English, Japanese, or Chinese. Kibi detects your language and replies in kind, without any settings to switch. During our test session, she answered a Korean question about hidden spots in Seongsu, gave real-time festival info in English (Seoul Jazz Festival, PEAK Festival this weekend), and explained Hongdae café culture in Japanese — all in the same conversation.
She knows what’s actually happening right now
Kibi is connected to the knewsdaily database in real time. Ask what’s on this weekend and she’ll pull live event data — not generic Wikipedia answers. When I asked about this weekend’s festivals, she instantly flagged Seoul Jazz Festival (May 22–24) at Olympic Park and PEAK Festival (May 23–24) at Nanji Hangang Park.
Her expressions actually change
This is the part most people don’t expect. Kibi has 13 different expressions that shift based on the conversation — wave, excited, think, shy, happy, surprised, wink, confused, love, and more. Ask her something she’s enthusiastic about and she lights up. Give her a tricky geography question and she tilts her head in thought. It’s a small detail that makes the whole experience feel a lot less robotic.
Free to try
Every visitor gets 20 free messages. No account needed to start. After that, you can continue with points earned on the platform.
Try it
Go to knewsdaily.com/kibi and ask her anything about Seoul — where to go, what’s happening, what to eat. If it’s in the database, she’ll find it. If it’s not, she’ll tell you honestly.
That last part matters. She told a user asking about Hongdae cafés that the database doesn’t cover that area yet — rather than making something up. For a travel guide, that’s actually the right call.
