Unlike traditional interactive kiosks that rely on fixed menus and touchscreens, LiveX's human-sized avatar kiosks provide natural conversation, personalized guidance and real-time assistance through multimodal interaction1

. "We believe intelligence of this nature should meet people wherever they are, live and in person, where life happens," said Jia Li, Cofounder, President and Chief AI Officer at LiveX. "AI should be greeting travelers at the airport, guiding a grandmother through the hospital, helping every shopper like the best employee in the building or answering sixty thousand fans at once"1

Filling the Gap Until General-Purpose Robots Arrive

While general-purpose robots that may one day provide similar assistance are still years away from widespread deployment, LiveX is putting Physical AI to work as a deployed reality1

The deployment addresses a critical need as many businesses and public venues lack sufficient staff to offer personalized help, while static 2D maps show visitors where they are but don't help with real-time navigation and discovery1

. "In an AI City, this intelligence is available to everyone, in every language, with no learning curve at all," Li emphasized1
