Samsung is taking its high-end kitchen appliances to the next level. The company announced that it is bringing Google’s Gemini AI chatbot to its Bespoke AI refrigerators. This integration is set to enhance food recognition, streamline kitchen management, and give users smarter options for meal planning.
Expanded AI Capabilities for Bespoke AI Series
The upcoming Bespoke AI series includes
-
Bespoke AI Hybrid Refrigerators with 9-inch AI Home screens
-
Bespoke AI Family Hub Refrigerators
-
Infinite AI Wine Refrigerators
All these models will now feature Bixby and Google Gemini AI, along with a built-in camera. Previous models could identify up to 37 types of fresh foods and 50 types of packaged items. With Gemini, the refrigerators can recognize a broader range of fresh and packaged foods, enhancing grocery tracking and meal planning.
AI-Powered Food Management
Samsung is introducing AI Food Manager, a feature designed to make refrigerators smarter and more interactive:
-
Automatically identifies and registers food items stored inside
-
Reads handwritten labels on containers and adds the info to your grocery list
-
Suggests recipes based on what’s available in the fridge
-
Alerts users to expired or soon-to-expire items
This means users can reduce food waste while making grocery shopping and meal prep much easier.
Gemini AI Comes to Wine Storage
Samsung isn’t stopping with food. Wine Cellar and Wine Cooler refrigerators will also feature Google Gemini AI. These devices will include AI Wine Manager, which helps users manage their wine collections efficiently:
-
Captures detailed wine information (name, classification, variety, vintage)
-
Organizes wines in a virtual list and tracks their storage location
-
Supports long-term and strategic wine storage planning
Enhanced User Experience With AI Vision
Moon Jong-seung, vice president of Samsung’s Digital Appliances division, said:
“Samsung Electronics has been leading the innovation of kitchen appliances with its ‘AI Vision’ technology. Through this collaboration with Google, we will provide Samsung’s own differentiated food experience through the further evolved AI Vision.”
This collaboration highlights Samsung’s push to blend AI with everyday home life, turning refrigerators into smart assistants that actively manage food, beverages, and household efficiency.
Future of Smart Kitchens
With the integration of Gemini AI, Samsung aims to set a new benchmark for smart appliances. These refrigerators not only help track food but also assist with
- Meal planning

- Beverage management
By leveraging advanced AI, Samsung is redefining what a kitchen appliance can do, making it a central hub of smart home innovation.
