Kakao unveils Canana Space, Canvas and AI Crew: bringing AI agents into KakaoTalk's 50 million users
According to MoneyToday, on the earnings call on Nov 5, 2026, Kakao CEO Chung Shin-a said the relationship network built through conversations among 50 million users is a competitive advantage that is hard to acquire in the short term. Kakao presented three agent technologies. Canana Space is an AI layer opened by lightly swiping with two fingers anywhere in KakaoTalk, where tasks are handled by voice or text within the Space; user requests are routed to ChatGPT for Kakao, Canana in KakaoTalk or other services depending on complexity. Canvas is an AI productivity tool that controls a local browser inside the user's own PC environment (rather than running a browser on a separate virtual computer) to automate searching, organising data and repetitive tasks; it integrates with KakaoTalk so users can assign tasks from a familiar chat window and receive the results. AI Crew is an agent that helps advertisers run and manage campaigns: after entering business goals in a conversational interface, the AI suggests ad products and operating strategies, supporting the process from set-up to performance analysis. Kakao also sees KakaoTalk expanding from human-to-human communication to communication and collaboration between AI agents.
