Samsung showcased its AI-enabled line of home appliances during the 2026 edition of The Brief event in Hanoi, Vietnam. The appliances, part of the Bespoke AI family, are powered by artificial intelligence and utilize the SmartThings platform. These products include refrigerators and air conditioners, both of which have received updates that enhance their functionality and user experience.
The flagship products at the event were the Bespoke AI Family Hub 4-Door French Door Refrigerator and the Bespoke AI Side-by-Side Refrigerator. Although the latter model was launched last year, the former is slightly older, having debuted in 2024. However, the main attraction was the improvements made to these appliances' AI Vision capabilities.
This enhancement allows the refrigerators to recognize a wider variety of food items with greater accuracy, thereby improving the SmartThings Food feature, which recommends recipes based on the refrigerator's contents. Additionally, a new FoodNote widget has been introduced, suggesting a personalized shopping list based on frequently consumed items and consumption patterns.
The refrigerators' AI updates were demonstrated during the event, but it was noted that they do not work seamlessly with the new, LLM-powered Bixby. This limitation restricts the appliances' potential for agentic AI. Despite this limitation, Samsung assures that the appliances will receive up to seven years of software updates.
The air conditioning segment of Samsung's AI-enabled lineup also benefited from AI-driven features and the SmartThings platform. The company attributes its entry into the industrial space to the acquisition of Swedish firm FlaktGroup. A key feature of Samsung's HVAC line-up is its WindFree technology, which enables quiet, slow, and even air distribution throughout rooms without drying out skin.
The Bespoke AI WindFree Pro Air Conditioner exemplifies this technology alongside AI-powered features like AI Motion Wind, which adapts airflow to user preferences.
