Samsung AI TalkSpot Arrives in KL: A Conversational Revolution at Your Fingertips

 

If there’s one place in Kuala Lumpur right now where tech feels exciting, practical, and just plain fun, it’s the Samsung AI TalkSpot at The Starhill, Bukit Bintang. We had the privilege to get a sneak peek ahead of its public opening on 21 May 2025 — and let me tell you, this wasn’t just another product launch. It was an experience.



At the heart of the showcase was Gemini Live, the new voice-first AI experience integrated into the Samsung Galaxy S25 Series. Unlike yesterday’s AI assistants that simply answered commands, Gemini Live thinks, adapts, and converses — turning your phone into an intelligent partner that works across apps, interprets the world around you, and helps you navigate daily life in ways you didn’t know you needed.


The event’s theme was crystal clear: #TalkNotType. And across eight interactive zones, Samsung brought that vision to lif


 Station 1: Locker Search — Visual Search, Smarter Than Ever

We began by asking Gemini to find a blue pen inside a locker, using the phone camera. Gemini’s visual overlay scanned the objects and nailed it in seconds, even when the item was partially hidden. It’s like having a live, smarter Google Lens — only now, you can just talk to it.

Station 2: Marketplace — Your Personal Wellness Coach

At the grocery-themed zone, we scanned items and asked Gemini: “Is this halal?”, “What can I cook with this?”, or “Is this low-sugar?” The AI not only gave instant answers but also suggested healthier alternatives and even provided simple recipes. For Malaysian shoppers balancing health and cultural needs, this was a game changer.

 Station 3: Concert Booth — Event Planning, Hands-Free

We told Gemini: “Find a concert on 24 May and send the details to my friend.” The AI pulled up a show at Zepp KL, added it to the calendar, drafted the message, and prepped it for sharing — all by voice command. No more app switching, no more typing.

Station 4: The Exhibit — Learn On the Go

Pointing the Galaxy S25 at a painting, we asked Gemini: “Who’s the artist?” Not only did it identify the creator, it gave us a quick backstory and even offered to save the info in Samsung Notes. It’s like carrying a pocket art historian wherever you go.



Station 5: Travel Hub — Your AI Itinerary Planner

We showed Gemini a photo of a hidden KL gem and asked how to get there. It mapped the route, recommended places to visit nearby, and crafted a day-long itinerary with food stops. It felt like having a personal local guide — minus the tour fees.


 Station 6: Style Lab — AI-Enhanced Fashion Advice

Curious if an outfit suited us, we asked: “Does this flatter my skin tone?” Gemini gave personalised styling tips, accessory suggestions, and even helped locate affordable alternatives online. With Galaxy AI’s Photo Assist, we could also try out virtual edits on our selfies. Future dressing rooms? They’re already here.

Station 7: Creators Lab — AI-Driven Personalisation

In this creative zone, we typed: “Turn my name ‘Nicole’ into bright coffee beans with coffee cups in the background.” Gemini transformed it into a stunning visual in seconds, which we then printed onto a custom tote bag. Personalised merch powered by AI? Yes, please.

Station 8: Tonic Station — AI-Powered Wellness

Feeling drained, we told Gemini: “I’m tired. What juice can re-energise me?” It suggested a green apple, carrot, and celery combo, explained the health benefits, and tailored the mix to suit our low-sugar preference. Best part? They made the juice on the spot — and it was delicious.


 Final Takeaway: A Hands-Free, Heads-Up Lifestyle

The Samsung Galaxy AI TalkSpot wasn’t just a demo. It was a living showcase of how Gemini Live and the Galaxy S25 Series can embed AI into real, everyday moments — from shopping and planning to creativity and wellness.


If you’re in Kuala Lumpur from 21–27 May, make sure to drop by The Starhill (10am–10pm) to experience it yourself. Plus, if you grab the new Galaxy S25, you’ll enjoy 6 months of Gemini Advanced for free.


The future of smartphones isn’t just about screens and specs — it’s about conversation. And with Samsung, the conversation has officially begun.
