GIGABYTE, the world's leading computer brand, will put human-centered design and on-device intelligence at its core in 2026, strengthening its leadership in the next era of personal AI. As AI decisively moves from the cloud to local execution, GIGABYTE provides real-time responsiveness, full user control, and seamless accessibility to make AI more practical, intuitive, and accessible, bringing intelligent experiences closer to creators, gamers, everyday users, and more.
GIGABYTE has successfully implemented human-centered design across its consumer AI product lineup. By prioritizing switchable, mode-based, user-driven features, we enhance the AI experience without heavy automation and keep control firmly in the hands of users. GiMATE, the AI agent built into GIGABYTE AI gaming laptops, acts as a context-aware companion whose AI features are activated through intuitive “push-to-speak” controls. Additionally, GiMATE Creator and GiMATE Coder streamline content creation and programming by responding to user needs when needed, increasing productivity without disrupting established workflows.

This philosophy also applies to motherboard-level system optimization. GIGABYTE's unique hardware and software fusion technology, X3D Turbo Mode 2.0, applies AI to dynamically adjust the balance of performance, power, and heat based on actual usage without the need for manual adjustments. Meanwhile, AORUS AI BOX's GPU Selector application allows users to assign applications to specific GPUs, bringing clarity, predictability, and efficiency to local AI workloads.
GIGABYTE's unified AI ecosystem provides a consistent local AI experience across motherboards, graphics cards, AI gaming laptops, OLED gaming monitors, and AI TOP systems, and easily scales across performance tiers and use cases.
