Kanana Space

Kanana Space is a personal AI agent from Kakao that lives inside KakaoTalk. Swipe two fingers on most KakaoTalk screens and the Ryan character appears; by voice or text you can ask it to reply to a friend, brief your day and add plans to your calendar, summarize unread messages, find an old conversation or search the web. Kakao announced it on October 13, 2026 and opened pre-registration the same day. Selected users get access in stages from December 2026, and no prices are published. This is an early profile based on the official page, not hands-on testing; we will update it when the service opens.

FAQ

How do I get Kanana Space?

Pre-register on space.kakao.com from your phone. Before the full opening, Kakao lets in selected users in stages. Pre-registering does not guarantee access, and people who did not pre-register can also be selected. From December 2026, selected users get a message from the Kanana Tips channel with a button to finish setup.

How do I use it?

After setup, place two fingers on a KakaoTalk screen such as the Friends tab or a chat room and swipe. Ryan appears, and you can ask by voice or text. Some screens do not support the gesture yet; Kakao says more screens will be added during the early-access period. You can turn the gesture off under Settings > Kanana > Kanana Space.

What can Kanana Space do?

Kakao's examples include replying to a friend from one spoken sentence, briefing today's schedule and adding new plans to your calendar, summarizing unread messages, finding a past conversation from words you remember, searching the web and looking up digital cards.

How much does Kanana Space cost?
