Explore the Future of Smart Living with Hisense AI Companion at IFA 2026
At IFA 2026, Hisense is inviting guests to experience its innovative AI Companion designed to enhance everyday living. The theme, "Innovations for a Brighter Life," showcases the Hisense AI Companion Suite powered by the ConnectLife platform. This advanced suite integrates artificial intelligence into various household tasks, aiming to simplify and elevate daily routines.
Upon entering the kitchen, attendees can interact with the AI-enabled refrigerator by simply asking, "What should I cook?" The refrigerator intelligently identifies stored ingredients and suggests meal ideas tailored to personal preferences. Once a recipe is selected, it seamlessly syncs with the AI Companion Oven, facilitating automated cooking processes. Additionally, the AI Companion Wine Cooler recommends wine pairings fittingly while maintaining optimal storage conditions. The dishwasher also utilizes AI technologies to assess the state of dishes and adjusts washing accordingly, illustrating how AI can streamline everything from dinner planning to post-meal clean-up.
In the laundry area, guests can observe how the AI Companion Laundry Suite transforms routine laundering into a simpler and more automated experience. By recognizing fabric characteristics, it selects appropriate wash and dry cycles, adapting the process for maximum efficiency—allowing users to simply load the laundry and start washing while the AI does the rest.
The benefits of AI extend beyond the kitchen and laundry room. An intelligent air conditioning unit responds to indoor conditions and user presence, adjusting airflow based on people’s movements within the room. Furthermore, the AI Companion Energy System actively considers weather conditions and electricity pricing to help optimize energy consumption in homes.
Hisense is collaborating with Alexa+, bringing one of the first appliance brands to incorporate smart home devices into Amazon’s AI-supported assistant. With Alexa+ set to launch in the coming months, users will be able to control selected Hisense air conditioning units using voice commands, as Alexa+ processes the request to manage the settings accordingly.
Hisense’s commitment to innovation has earned accolades at IFA, with several products receiving awards. The Multi Function II, a comprehensive energy-saving heating and cooling solution, won the Winner Award, while the X-zone Master was recognized as an Honoree. Other awards went to products like the U8 Air Master air conditioner and the W60 3D kitchen series, showcasing Hisense's focus on merging intelligent technology with thoughtful design and everyday practicality.
Through its platform V AIOS at IFA, Hisense is animating its Smart Home Companion functionalities, allowing devices to perceive their surroundings, contemplate actions, communicate seamlessly with users and between devices, and autonomously complete tasks by coordinating multiple devices and services. These capabilities help the AI Companion Suite packages to comprehend the context and make decisions, allowing households to achieve more while requiring less from their users.
