Create Custom AI Wallpapers with Samsung's Smart Refrigerators

Samsung Enhances Smart Appliances with AI Features

Samsung is taking a leap into the future with the recent announcement of advanced AI capabilities for its smart appliances. This innovation is set to redefine user interaction and personalization in kitchen and home care products. Two significant upgrades are at the forefront: AI-generated wallpapers for Family Hub refrigerators and an enhanced version of the Bixby voice assistant.

AI-Generated Wallpapers: A New Wave of Personalization

One of the standout features is the introduction of AI-generated wallpapers available for Samsung Family Hub refrigerators. This feature will be available for models released in the US and Korea after 2022. Users can select from a variety of themes across seven categories and choose from six different art styles to create custom wallpapers for their fridge.

  • Customization Options: Users can personalize their refrigerator's cover screen or whiteboard with unique designs.
  • Album Feature: Created wallpapers can also be saved in an album for future reference.
  • Usage Limitations: A Wi-Fi connection is required, and users can create a maximum of five wallpapers per day.

Enhanced Bixby: The Smart Assistant Redefined

In addition to the wallpaper feature, Samsung is also upgrading its Bixby voice assistant, enhancing its functionality within five of its Bespoke appliances starting August 27th. This improved version of Bixby offers the following capabilities:

  • Complex Command Understanding: Bixby can now comprehend intricate commands and contexts.
  • Memory of Interactions: It retains previous conversations, allowing for a more fluid user experience.
  • Troubleshooting Assistance: Users can inquire about appliance issues, such as asking why the refrigerator is making noises.

For instance, users can ask their smart washing machine about the dinner time, and seamlessly follow up with a command to time the laundry to finish beforehand. This interactivity enhances the ease and efficiency of managing household tasks.

Availability and Compatibility

It’s important to note that not all Samsung appliances will receive the Bixby upgrade. Only select models launched in 2024 will feature this enhanced Bixby capability. Key appliances set to receive the update include:

  • Bespoke 4-Door Refrigerator with AI Family Hub
  • Bespoke AI Laundry Combo
  • AI WindFree Gallery Freestanding Air Conditioner

Conclusion

With these innovative features, Samsung is expanding the realm of smart home technology, making appliances not only more efficient but also more personalized. As these updates roll out, users can look forward to a more engaging and intuitive experience with their smart appliances.
