Breaking New Ground in AI Innovations by Tuya Smart
Tuya Smart, a global leader in AI cloud platforms, has made a significant stride in the field of artificial intelligence with the unveiling of its upgraded Hey Tuya during the TUYA Global Developer Summit 2026, held in Shenzhen, China. This event attracted thousands of developers, industry representatives, and tech experts eager to collaborate on creating a vibrant ecosystem for AI applications.
Introduction of the Enhanced Hey Tuya
The newly revised version of Hey Tuya marks a substantial evolution from basic AI functionalities to scenario-based intelligent experiences. This significant upgrade encompasses several key features that promise to revolutionize how users interact with their smart devices.
Integration with Third-Party Services
One of the standout features of the enhanced Hey Tuya is its seamless integration with third-party services. Users can now interact with platforms like Google Mail, Calendar, and Docs, allowing them to send emails, schedule meetings, or edit documents through simple voice commands, effectively transforming Hey Tuya from a conversational tool to an action-oriented assistant.
Expanded Hardware Ecosystem Compatibility
The hardware compatibility of Hey Tuya has also broadened, providing complete support for Matter and prominent open-source platforms such as Home Assistant. This expansion underscores Tuya’s commitment to fostering interoperability across diverse devices.
Enhanced AI Foundation
The AI foundation of Hey Tuya has undergone substantial improvements, enabling more natural conversations. Users can now engage with the assistant as they would with a friend, as Hey Tuya interprets the intentions behind requests and executes tasks proactively, enhancing the overall user experience.
Vast Libraries of Capabilities
With the upgraded Hey Tuya, users gain access to an extensive and ever-growing library of capabilities. Features now include slide creation, image recognition, and video production, catering to a myriad of user scenarios and needs.
Developer-Friendly Features
Tuya also introduced Vibe Coding, a game-changer for developers aiming to create integrated AI+IoT+web/mobile solutions. Through natural language interaction, developers can easily craft personalized dashboards and lifestyle applications, significantly lowering barriers to AI application development and enabling a wider pool of users to realize their creative visions.
Scenario-Based Intelligence
The updated Hey Tuya supports scenario-based intelligence, responding dynamically to users' habits, preferences, and real-time conditions in use cases such as morning routines, health management, and safety while away from home.
Innovations Beyond Hey Tuya
In addition to the revised Hey Tuya, Tuya introduced a suite of innovative, homegrown AI technologies specifically designed for practical applications in various environments. One noteworthy feature is the PVAD (Personal Voice Activity Detection) model, designed to enhance speaker recognition accuracy in complex acoustic settings. This model minimizes false activations, thereby improving the reliability of voice commands across real-world situations.
Major Upgrades in AI Infrastructure
Tuya announced critical upgrades and new iterations of its AI infrastructure, including Physical AI Foundation V2.8, Wukong AI 3.0, the Tuya Real-Time Communication (T-RTC) network, Physical Action Model (PAM), and OmniMem V2.0, a long-term storage system. Together, these technologies represent a comprehensive toolkit for developers creating next-generation AI applications.
Emphasizing Core AI Ecosystems
During the summit, Leo Chen, Co-Chairman and President of Tuya Smart, articulated a vision centered on three pioneering application ecosystems: AI Home, AI Robot, and AI Energy. This vision aims to harness the potential of AI and inspire developers to seize opportunities for the coming decade with a “Day One” mindset.
1. AI Home: This initiative focuses on creating a connected home environment where devices work intelligently together, executing relevant functions naively.
2. AI Robot: Tuya aims to enhance user experiences and applications in essential areas such as companionship, cleaning, healthcare, security, and robotics.
3. AI Energy: Tuya seeks to establish an AI-powered energy management system for accurate monitoring and efficient usage along with intelligent optimization of energy resources.
Through initiatives like the TUYA Global Developer Summit 2026, Tuya Smart is paving a clear path for how AI technology can transition from concept to tangible real-world applications. Looking ahead, Tuya is committed to collaborating with global developers and ecosystem partners to push the boundaries of innovation and accelerate AI integration into the physical world.
