i-Ris, AI Living @ i-City
Introducing i-Ris
Officially launched in October 2026, AI Living @ i-City is a pioneering AI- and robotics-enabled development at i-City, in the state capital of Selangor.
Its residential component, i-Ris, AI Living @ i-City, comprises 500 units and is targeted for completion in 2030.
What Is AI Living?
A conventional smart home allows you to control individual devices — the lights, air-conditioning, locks or appliances.
AI Living @ i-City goes further. At its heart is i-Ris, an AI Companion designed to progressively learn your preferences, understand your routines and assist with everyday living.
Think of i-Ris as your personal household assistant — helping to organise schedules, provide interactive information, education and entertainment, and coordinate family activities.
Beyond being a personal assistant, i-Ris is also envisioned as the intelligence connecting your smart home, domestic robots, wellness services and trusted knowledge into one integrated living experience.
Imagine arriving home to an environment prepared around your preferences. Your AI Companion helps manage everyday activities, coordinates household services and becomes increasingly responsive to your needs.
This is the vision of AI Living — a home that learns, adapts and evolves with you.
The concept will be introduced at i-Ris Residences, a 500-unit residential tower at i-City, purpose-designed to accommodate AI and robotics. While i-Ris is the AI Companion, i-Ris Residences is the residential development where the broader AI Living ecosystem is planned to come together.
Designed for completion in 2030, the development aims to accommodate advances in AI and robotics as these technologies continue to evolve.
The difference is simple:
A smart home
responds to you.
An AI Living home
can increasingly understand context, anticipate needs and adapt to you.
i-Ris, your AI Companion
Imagine waking up to a bedroom that has automatically adjusted its temperature based on insights from your wellness wearable, while your AI Companion coordinates with your household robot to prepare breakfast — all before you even get out of bed.
This is the vision behind i-Ris, the AI Companion introduced at the October 2026 launch of AI Living @ i-City.
More than a voice assistant or conventional smart-home controller, i-Ris is being developed as the intelligence behind the home. Combining AI agents with resident-specific learning and memory, it is designed to assist with daily schedules, family activities, information and entertainment while progressively understanding individual preferences.
Its distinguishing feature is the ability to coordinate different technologies through a common intelligence — from domestic robots and personalised wellness services to connected-home appliances and household systems.
How Will AI Living Make Life Better?
AI Living is not ultimately about robots, sensors or software. It is about what technology can do for people.
The AI Living experience is therefore being designed around four everyday outcomes:
Care
A safer and more supportive environment for you and your family, with the ability to introduce new wellness and assisted-living services as your needs change.
Comfort
A living environment that can increasingly understand your preferences and respond intelligently to everyday needs — making the home more comfortable without making technology more complicated.
Convenience
Less time and effort spent managing everyday household needs, accessing services and carrying out routine tasks — with the future possibility of robotics assisting with selected household activities.
Community
AI Living extends beyond the apartment. Residents are connected to building facilities, services and the wider i-City ecosystem — bringing home, building and community together.
Whether you are a young professional, raising a family or planning for the years ahead, the same home is being designed to support different stages of life.
The technology is not the end product. Better living is.
Designed For AI & Robotics
Most buildings are designed first and technology is added later.
AI Living reverses that approach. The residences are being planned from the outset to accommodate an evolving layer of AI, robotics, wellness, intelligent building systems and lifestyle technologies.
This includes considering how future domestic robots move through the home, the infrastructure required to support intelligent services, and how the home can connect with the wider building and i-City ecosystem.
But AI Living is deliberately not being built around one generation of technology. The building will last for decades. Technology will change many times during that period.
The physical and digital infrastructure is therefore being designed as a platform capable of accommodating newer technologies as they emerge.
Personal robots and selected AI, wellness and lifestyle services are intended to be optional. Residents will be able to choose the services that are relevant to them rather than being locked into technologies years before they move in.
The objective is simple: do not lock tomorrow’s home into today’s technology.

The Ecosystem Behind AI Living
No single company can build the future of living alone.
AI Living is being developed as an ecosystem, bringing together expertise across architecture, artificial intelligence, robotics, wellness, intelligent buildings and digital infrastructure.
The objective is not to fill the home with individual branded products. It is to enable different technologies and services to work together around the resident.
- At the centre of this approach is an intelligent orchestration layer designed to connect the home, building and services.
- An AI Companion provides a natural way for residents to interact with this environment.
- Robotics can progressively provide physical assistance within the home and wider development.
- Wellness technologies can help residents better understand their everyday well-being.
- Intelligent building systems can improve areas such as security, maintenance, energy management and the overall residential environment.
- Lifestyle technologies and appliances can become part of the same connected experience.
Together, these form the foundations of an intelligent living ecosystem designed to evolve over time.
One home. One ecosystem. Many possibilities.
From Experience Today To Living In 2030
AI Living is not beginning from a blank sheet of paper.
i-City has spent more than two decades evolving as Malaysia’s leading technology-driven urban development. Today, that evolution is moving from digital infrastructure towards AI and robotics.
The AI World Experience Centre at i-City provides a physical environment where the public can already experience artificial intelligence and embodied robotics.
AI Living takes the next step — using the years leading to completion to develop and progressively integrate the technologies and services that could become part of everyday residential life. This approach matters because AI and robotics are developing rapidly.
A buyer purchasing a home today should not receive today’s technology frozen into a home completed in 2030.
AI Living is being designed to receive an evolving service layer — so that the technologies available when residents move in can reflect the progress made between now and then.
A Foundation of Long-Term Commitment
i-Ris, AI Living @ i-City represents the next chapter in i-City's transformation from a digital city into an AI and robotics-enabled urban ecosystem. As a pioneering residential development targeted for completion in 2030, it requires not only technological innovation but also the long-term commitment and flexibility to adapt as technologies evolve.
This commitment is underpinned by Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong, Group Chairman and controlling shareholder, whose support for the company spans more than two decades. From the original i-City land development joint venture to providing financial assistance and subscribing to successive capital-raising exercises, his actions demonstrate a consistent commitment to i-City's long-term development.
For AI Living, this history provides an important foundation for pursuing a pioneering development whose success depends on sustained investment, execution and the ability to incorporate technological advances over the coming years.
Living At i-City
i-Ris, AI Living @ i-City combines a future-ready home with something equally important — an established place to live.
Located within the mature i-City integrated development in Shah Alam, residents will be part of an existing ecosystem of retail, hospitality, offices, leisure, residences and services.
Central i-City Shopping Mall, international hotels, corporate offices, family attractions and established residential communities are already part of the township.
Connectivity through major highways is complemented by LRT3, further connecting i-City with the wider Klang Valley.
And i-City continues to grow.
Its next phase will see the township progressively evolve into a wider AI and robotics urban ecosystem — with i-Ris, AI Living @ i-City representing one of its most important residential applications.
i-Ris, AI Living @ i-City is therefore not simply about buying a technologically advanced residence. It is about choosing a home designed to remain relevant as the world around it changes.
A home that works perfectly well as a home without optional technology subscriptions. A home that gives you the freedom to choose the AI, robotics, wellness and lifestyle services that are useful to you.
And a home designed to become more capable as technology — and your own needs — evolve.
