Your kitchen is about to get a lot smarter thanks to Eggspert and Hello Egg

Add as a preferred source on Google

You first said hello to Hello Egg back in October, but just three months later, this smart kitchen assistant is ready to impress you further. Complete with egg-related puns and AI-enabled capabilities is the new Eggspert, described as “a web and mobile application that integrates with smart kitchen assistant Hello Egg to fully automate users’ food-related routines.”

Whereas Hello Egg may have been helpful before, it may now features the addition of Eggspert. This virtual assistant will help you take the thought out of both meal planning and cooking, and will take your dietary restrictions and preferences into consideration when setting a menu for the week ahead. But don’t worry — Eggspert is an expert in spontaneity as well. If you need to make a sudden change (having vegan friends over for dinner?), Eggspert will help you adjust.

As per parent company RnD64’s release, Eggspert will do everything from organize your pantry to order your grocery delivery. And combined with Hello Egg’s step-by-step voice-navigated video recipes and its ability to answer cooking questions either by AI or a 24/7 support team of cooking experts, you’ll never feel alone in the kitchen.

“The initial tests of Hello Egg went significantly well and the feedback we received after the product announcement has confirmed the need for a dedicated smart cooking assistant,” said Dmytro Shemet, CEO of RnD64. “With Eggspert, we apply AI not only to facilitate the user’s kitchen experience but also to analyze their nutritional needs and optimize their cooking process on every level.”

Hello Egg will begin shipping to eager home cooks hoping to spend more time eating in in Q1 of 2017, and is currently available for pre-order at http://helloegg.net.

Haier brought its “Home of Intelligent Possibilities” vision to IFA 2026, showcasing products across laundry, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, televisions and floorcare. AI, sensors and connected technology featured across the range, but the more interesting question was what those systems actually did. In many cases, they were being used to help appliances recognise what was happening and make adjustments without requiring another instruction from the user.

SimpliSafe wants its new doorbell to stop porch pirates, not just record them
SimpliSafe’s new $200 doorbell can yell at package thieves and call the police
SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2

Video doorbells are great for keeping an eye on what goes around your house. But when a package is being stolen, all you get is the footage of someone walking away with our stuff. SimpliSafe is working on making things a little more secure.

The company’s new Video Doorbell Series 2 extends its Active Guard Outdoor Protection service directly to the front door. When the doorbell detects a potential threat, trained US-based monitoring agents can view the live feed, speak directly to the person outside, activate the doorbell’s siren, and, when necessary, request police dispatch while the camera records what is happening.

Apple’s new AI camera features come with a bizarre iCloud storage tax
HomeKit Secure Video footage doesn’t count against iCloud storage, yet adding Apple Intelligence to more cameras means buying increasingly massive storage plans
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple is making HomeKit Secure Video a lot smarter. Its new Apple Intelligence features can describe recorded activity and let you search camera footage using natural language instead of digging through clips yourself.

Getting those features across several cameras is where things get weird. The 2TB iCloud Plus plan supports Apple Intelligence on one camera. Two cameras require 6TB, while five require the 12TB tier. All that extra storage is required even though HomeKit Secure Video recordings don’t count against your iCloud allowance.
