Asking "What should I cook?" triggers the system: an AI-equipped refrigerator scans stored ingredients and proposes recipes based on personal preferences. Selected recipes can sync automatically with the AI Companion Oven, while the AI Companion Wine cellar recommends food pairings and maintains optimal storage conditions. After the meal, an AI dishwasher detects dish soiling levels and adjusts its wash cycle accordingly.
