The New Wave of Home Tech

You don't have to be tech-savvy anymore to embrace the slew of AI technology that has entered our homes, and made them better.

With AI weaving itself into our everyday routines faster than we can keep up, the real trick isn't resisting it — it's learning how to live with it, and more importantly, how to use it well. And what better place to begin than at home? After all, it's where we spend most of our time, where comfort matters the most, and where the smallest innovations can make the biggest difference. From intelligent cleaning systems to design-forward speakers and appliances that practically think for you, a new wave of home tech is transforming our spaces.

1. Samsung Al Home

As homes become smarter, Samsung is pushing the idea of an intelligent living space with its Al Home ecosystem — a connected interface built into its latest Bespoke appliances that essentially turns everyday devices into a central command centre for the house. At the heart of the system is an intuitive touchscreen display embedded into appliances like refrigerators and washing machines, allowing users to control connected devices, monitor energy consumption and even access entertainment from one dashboard. Powered by SmartThings connectivity and an upgraded Bixby voice assistant, the platform learns usage patterns to automate routines - from optimising cooling settings to suggesting recipes based on what's inside the fridge through Al Vision recognition. With real-time insights, voice control and security powered by Samsung Knox, Al Home is here to make everyday living significantly more stylish.
