AI is no longer a distant promise – it’s a superpower woven into everyday routines. It tweaks airflow in the oven, perfects the espresso shot, translates body signals into insights or even coaches a chess match. For retailers, these products show how intelligence at a micro scale creates macro appeal: smarter living, clearer benefits and the kind of innovation consumers can feel in their hands.

THE MASTER OF MULTITASKING
Cooking five dishes at once usually ends in chaos – unless your oven has a brain for airflow. Daewoo’s built-in model uses patented Heat Wrap technology to keep flavours from mixing, while its Hot Air Shield politely blows hot air back inside instead of in your face. The result? Safer handling, faster baking and meals that keep their own character. AI-driven airflow as a quiet kitchen revolution – and a talking point for anyone upgrading their home.
THE BARISTA WHO READS THE BEANS
Forget training courses and trembling hands on the portafilter. nunc.’s espresso system scans each capsule or bean type via NFC, then automatically adjusts grind, temperature and pressure for a perfect shot. Behind it sits an ecosystem of data, farmers and curated roasters – making your morning espresso both traceable and foolproof. For consumers: café quality at home. For retailers: a product that sells the promise of consistency.
A RING FOR YOUR HEALTH
Fitness trackers deliver plenty of insights – but sometimes you just want simplicity. Time to put a ring on it: RingConn’s smart ring focuses on clarity. It monitors sleep, stress and recovery, then translates signals into simple, actionable guidance. AI in the background connects the dots so users don’t have to. A wearable that fits into a daily routine without fuss and into any retailer’s health tech portfolio with ease.
AI COMFORT FOR VR MARATHONS
VR headsets are thrilling for the first hour and torture after the third. KIWI’s K4 Duo head strap balances the weight, adds built-in audio and packs in AI-managed battery life for a couple of extra hours of play. The strap does the maths on comfort and charging so the player can stay immersed. For retailers, it is the kind of accessory that turns VR from a one-hour demo into an all-evening experience.
YOUR CHATTY CHESS MATE
Digital chess can feel sterile. SenseRobot fixes that by seeing the board in 3D, gripping pieces with near-human precision and analysing your strategy mid-match. It teaches beginners, challenges pros and chats along the way – a coach, sparring partner and commentator rolled into one robotic arm. A showcase of how AI can make even niche hobbies more engaging, and a category-expander in the smart toys segment.
