Samsung's Bespoke Family Hub Plus smart fridges are about to get even smarter. The South Korean tech giant has announced a multi-year partnership with Instacart, bringing grocery shopping directly to your fridge's touchscreen.
How it Works:
- AI-Powered Vision: A new camera above the fridge door utilizes Samsung Vision AI to recognize up to 37 food items as you add or remove them.
- Instacart Integration: Leveraging Instacart's product matching API, the fridge's AI analyzes your food inventory and suggests items you might be running low on.
- Effortless Ordering: With a few taps on the fridge's touchscreen, you can easily add the suggested items to your Instacart cart and have them delivered right to your doorstep.
Beyond Grocery Shopping:
This integration goes beyond simple ordering.
Samsung Food App Synergy: The fridge seamlessly integrates with the Samsung Food app, allowing you to:
- Create shopping lists based on your recipes.
- Automatically remove ingredients used in recipes from your food inventory.
- Add those used ingredients to your shopping list.
Enhanced Food Management: The AI-powered camera and food recognition technology provide a more accurate and automated way to track your food inventory, reducing food waste and ensuring you always have the essentials on hand.
Availability:
The Instacart integration will be available later this year via a firmware update for Samsung smart fridges equipped with AI Vision Inside, introduced in 2024.
The Verdict:
While the full extent of this integration's capabilities remains to be seen, it promises to revolutionize the way we shop for groceries. By seamlessly combining AI, smart home technology, and a popular grocery delivery service, Samsung aims to make meal planning and grocery shopping more convenient and efficient than ever before.
