Samsung’s Bespoke AI appliances can now make it feel easy and seamless – from cooling the room before arrival to arranging game-night food, keeping the living room comfortable, and even taking care of the cleanup afterwards. For you, no matter what happens on the scoreboard, the experience at home can be a winning one.

Walk Into a Cooler Welcome

When all you want to do is get home and enjoy the game, opening the door to warm, still air can take the energy out of the evening before it even properly starts. Through SmartThings* you can remotely turn on your Bespoke AI Windfree Air Conditioner before you arrive. With Welcome Cooling**, the room can begin cooling while you are still on your way home, helping create a more comfortable space before anyone takes a seat.

By the time the door opens, the night already feels more settled. All you have to do is take your shoes off, take the cold drinks out and settle down on the couch.

Decide What to Serve With Ease

A perfect game-night would not be complete without good food that is tasty, easy to share, quick to prepare, and simple enough to enjoy without missing the action. For that reason, the hardest part is often deciding what to make.

Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub helps make that first decision easier with AI Food Manager***. You can check and manage the ingredients registered in your Food List, then receive recipe ideas based on what is in the fridge. A few vegetables can become a refreshing side dish, cheese and leftovers can turn into a snack board, and then just one or two extra ingredients can bring it all together.

That quick check can also make the grocery run smarter. Chips, beer, ice cream, or celery; you can worry less about buying too much or forgetting the one thing that matters with the SmartThings app. Just pick up what you need and head home with a clearer plan for the night.

The goal is not complex, elaborate dishes. It’s to make it easier to prepare food that fits the rhythm of a summer match – quick bites, cold sides and shareable plates that keep everyone close to the screen.

Keep Cool When the Room Heats Up

Then the game begins.

A sudden counterattack, a shot off the post, a tense save; the room can warm up fast when everyone is moving around and getting excited.

Samsung’s Bespoke AI WindFree Air Conditioner helps make comfort one less thing to think about. It is the kind of comfort that stays in the background. The snacks stay within reach, eyes stay on the screen, and the living room stays ready for every pass, save and cheer through the final result.

Let the Dishwasher Take the Late Shift

The excitement may be over, but the dishes usually are not.

Snack plates, cups, sauce bowls, and cutlery can quickly pile up across the kitchen. After a late match, standing at the sink can feel like going into extra time.

That is where Samsung’s Freestanding Dishwasher with Auto Open Door becomes your hero. With Flex Load, you can adjust middle rack space more easily to fit different types of dishes after game night — from plates and bowls to glasses, pots, and pans. And even when the match ends late, cleanup does not have to keep the house awake. With the Extra Quiet Program****, you can run the dishwasher with less noise and leave the kitchen to reset while you wind down.

The highlight of the night will always be the match itself. But the difference between a good night and an effortless one often comes down to everything around it – the cool room waiting at home, the food that comes together quickly, the comfort that lasts through every cheer, and the cleanup that does not need to become tomorrow’s problem.

In these ways and more, Samsung home appliances help make summer sports nights at home feel smarter, smoother and easier to enjoy.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it will update its voice assistant Bixby[1] with enhanced AI in home appliances.[2] Bixby will have a comprehension ability that better understands complex commands based on natural language[3], providing easy device control for users.

“At Samsung, we believe that the power of a connected home goes beyond convenience – it’s about creating meaningful experiences that enhance the quality of everyday life for Australians. With the enhanced AI capabilities of Bixby in our home appliances, we’re making it easier for consumers to interact with their devices, allowing them to control their home environment with personalised commands. This advancement underscores our commitment to innovation that truly resonates with consumers, enabling them to live smarter, more efficient lives.” said Jeremy Senior, Vice President, Consumer Electronics at Samsung Australia.

Samsung launched multiple home appliances with AI features earlier this year, such as the AI Family Hub French Door Refrigerator featuring AI Vision Inside,[4] Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI with upgraded AI Object Recognition,[5] and Bespoke AI Laundry Combo with AI Home.[6] Taking another step forward, Samsung aims to create an even richer consumer experience by introducing new features.

Bixby: Better Voice Control for Appliances

The upgraded Bixby enables better voice control through three main capabilities[7] — understanding complex commands (Multi-Intent), recalling previous conversations (Multi-Turn) and responding to product-related questions (Device Q&A).[8] Samsung is providing the update to five products launched in 2024 first: the AI Family Hub French Door Refrigerator; Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo; Bespoke Slide-in Range[9]; Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI; and Bespoke AI WindFree Gallery Freestanding Air Conditioner.[10]

The upgraded Bixby can understand commands that consist of multiple or unrelated requests in one sentence. Consumers can control other devices connected by SmartThings[11] with the upgraded Bixby as well, so they can express their needs more naturally than before. For example, consumers can ask the Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo, “Hi Bixby, set the wash cycle to Super Speed” and Bixby will process the command. [12]

Bixby is also capable of remembering contexts of past conversations,[13] allowing users to engage in ongoing dialogues with devices rather than issuing isolated commands. If consumers say to the AI Family Hub French Door Refrigerator, “Hi Bixby, tell me what time the family dinner is today” and Bixby responds to it, users can follow up and say, “Then set the washing machine to finish one hour before that.”[14]

Lastly, it can provide assistance to users when they encounter problems while using compatible appliances or become curious about certain cycles or features. When the screen on the appliance shows an error code, users can turn to Bixby to ask what it means instead of searching through the user manual or contacting the call center. They can ask questions like, “Hi Bixby, I can hear clicking noises in the fridge, why is that?”, and Bixby will provide several answers. Appliances with screens, such as refrigerators with AI Family Hub or the Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo, will display the response on the screen, while appliances without screens will provide audio responses.

Samsung plans to exhibit the Bespoke AI appliances featuring the upgraded Bixby at IFA 2024, allowing more people to experience and understand how it will enhance the user experience.
