LG’s 2026 webOS pitch is an AI-driven home screen that can route a question to either Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini, while framing privacy and integrity under “LG Shield.” In this booth demo, the AI Magic Remote is the control surface: a mic plus an AI button for natural-language search, quick follow-up prompts, and on-screen assistance without juggling multiple menus in the UI. https://www.lg.com/
The most practical feature shown is My Page (per-profile dashboards) paired with Voice ID, so each household member can speak and land on a different mix of apps, widgets, and recommendations. Instead of only tracking watch history, the UI tries to capture intent like “I’m sad, I need comedy,” or “football playoffs,” then pulls matching titles across LG Channels and major streaming apps, with YouTube and even game discovery in the same recommendation graph there.
Midway through, the rep shows a visual “AI pipeline” view: preferences and voice inputs are processed, matched against catalogs, and synchronized back into webOS so the same profile can follow you to another TV when you sign in with an LG account. This interview was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, and it’s essentially a tour of how LG wants personalization, cloud inference, and cross-app indexing to reduce the time spent deciding what to watch in a typical living-room demo.
Rollout is described as a staged launch around April 2026 across webOS models, with the AI layer sitting alongside LG’s usual picture pipeline (alpha-series AI processing, upscaling, motion smoothing, and color tuning). A key limitation is also made clear: Copilot vs Gemini is a user choice per profile, and the system learns patterns to improve recommendations rather than automatically picking “the best model” for you from the remote.
