Hisense Launches AI Companion Suite at IFA 2026

At the 2026 IFA trade show in Berlin, Hisense, a leading global consumer electronics brand, introduces its AI Companion Suite, a revolutionary set of solutions designed to enhance daily living through artificial intelligence. The company emphasizes a commitment to innovation focused on making life simpler and more intuitive with smart home devices.

A Kitchen Revolution

The journey begins in the kitchen, where the AI Companion Refrigerator takes center stage. This innovative appliance recognizes stored items and suggests meal ideas tailored to individual preferences. After selecting a recipe, it seamlessly syncs with the AI Companion Oven, which automatically adjusts cooking settings for optimal results. Meanwhile, the AI Companion Wine Cabinet recommends suitable wine pairings and ensures proper storage conditions.

The journey does not end once the meal is over. The AI Companion Dishwasher uses advanced dirt recognition technology to determine the cleanliness of dishes and adjusts its wash cycle accordingly, demonstrating how AI can assist from meal planning to cleanup.

Transforming Laundry Tasks

Moving into the laundry room, the AI Companion Laundry Suite simplifies and automates laundry processes beyond expectations. By recognizing fabric features, the system selects the ideal washing and drying programs, essentially managing the laundry cycle autonomously. Users only need to load their clothes and start the machine.

Intelligent Air Conditioning and Energy Management

Hisense's smart solutions extend into the living space as well. The AI Companion Air Conditioner adapts airflow based on room conditions and user presence, ensuring comfort while optimizing energy use. In tandem, the AI Companion Energy Management System considers weather patterns and fluctuating electricity prices, helping households minimize energy expenditures.

Integrating Smart Home Devices with Alexa+

Riding on the capabilities of the ConnectLife platform, Hisense collaborates with Alexa+ to be among the first brands to integrate home appliances with Amazon's AI assistant using the new Amazon Smart Home AI Toolkit. In the coming months, Alexa+ users will be able to control select Hisense air conditioners with simple voice commands, allowing for effortless adjustments based on user needs.

Recognition and Awards

Hisense's innovative approach has not gone unnoticed at the IFA show, where several products received accolades. The Multi Function II HVAC series was awarded winner in its category, while the X-zone Master model received the Honoree title. Additional products like the U8 Air Master Air Conditioner and innovative 60cm integrated wine cooler were applauded, showcasing Hisense's commitment to combining smart technology with thoughtful design and everyday convenience.

The Future is Here with Smart Home Companion

During the show, Hisense also highlighted its Smart Home Companion powered by the V AIOS system, a cutting-edge technology that enables devices to detect environmental changes, analyze situations, and take appropriate actions, all while maintaining natural communication with users and other devices. Together, the features of the AI Companion Suite allow for contextual understanding, decision-making, and execution of tasks, enabling the smart home to do more while requiring less effort from users.
