AI has slipped into our workspace and living room for a long time now, but Samsung is making sure that the technology sits right inside the kitchen. CES 2026 is just around the corner and Samsung has announced to showcase some of the best kitchen appliances under its refreshed Bespoke AI lineup. The upcoming lineup focuses on smarter automation, cleaner design, and more personalized everyday use.
Bespoke AI refrigerators are one of the highlights
In the announcement post, Samsung has confirmed that it will unveil the updated Bespoke AI refrigerators, over-the-range (OTR) microwave, and slide-in range at the annual tech show scheduled to be held in New York. Besides industrial improvements, the company is also focusing on its vision-based AI features, which aim to simplify food management and kitchen workflows.
One of the prominent additions is the new Bespoke AI Refrigerator Family Hub. Samsung says the upgraded AI Vision system significantly expands food recognition capabilities beyond previous limits. The refrigerator can now identify a wider variety of fresh and processed foods, including items that no longer require manual registration. It can also recognize user-labeled containers, making food tracking more flexible and accurate.
Thanks to updated ingredient recognition, Samsung believes users will find it easier to manage food inventories and plan meals. Samsung says that it also plans to showcase some of the use cases of new AI Vision at the CES 2026 event. In Samsung’s words, the new Bespoke AI refrigerator will be a core part of a highly-personalized AI-powered kitchen.
Wine Cellar and updated kitchen appliances like OTR microwaves
Besides refrigerators, Samsung’s CES 2026 lineup will also include the Bespoke AI Wine Cellar. One of the interesting things about this Wine Cellar is that it has a built-in camera to recognize wine labels and track bottle placement. Samsung says that the AI system automatically records shelf and compartment locations. This allows users to check their collection without searching manually. Wine details and pairing suggestions are available through Samsung’s connected management tools.
Well, Samsung has other plans too. The company is updating its appliance designs with a unified stainless-look. The new French Door refrigerators, slide-in ranges, and OTR microwaves are designed to create a more cohesive kitchen setup. Notably, the updated 3-Door French Door refrigerator supports near zero-clearance installation and reduced door depth for easier access.
Moving on, Samsung will also debut two new OTR microwave models, including a DualVent version designed to improve smoke capture with an upgraded ventilation system. Moreover, Samsung also mentions that its CES 2026 booth will let visitors get the first look at the full lineup.
Speaking of AI, a new report by app research and tech blogger suggests that Waymo is testing Gemini integration for its robotaxis. Interestingly, Gemini will work more than a simple bot, and can help you with multiple things. As of now, there’s no information on when the integration would roll out, but the presence of code references hinting such features, the rollout might be imminent.
