Hisense Brings AI Companion Suite to IFA 2026, Adds Alexa+ Integration

Berlin – September 10, 2026 -- Hisense showcased its AI Companion suite at IFA 2026 in Berlin, demonstrating how connected AI, powered by ConnectLife, can automate kitchen, laundry and living room tasks.

A smart fridge starts the cooking process

In the kitchen demo, asking 'What should I cook?' prompts the smart refrigerator to identify stored ingredients and suggest meal ideas based on personal preferences. Once a recipe is chosen, it syncs with the AI Companion Oven for automatic cooking, while the AI Companion Wine Cabinet recommends pairings and maintains proper storage conditions. After the meal, the AI Companion Dishwasher reads the state of the dishes and adjusts the wash cycle accordingly.

Laundry cycles adjust automatically to fabric type

The AI Companion Laundry Suite recognizes clothing characteristics and selects the appropriate wash and dry cycles, adjusting the process automatically for a hands-off laundry experience.
