Cooking has never been so foolproof. The latest innovation to come to your kitchen manifests itself as a smart convection oven, heralded as the first of its kind. Known as the June Pro, this built-in appliance just might make you want to never sell your home.

The Pro builds upon June’s original product, simply called the June. The smart oven uses sensors and artificial intelligence to bring some expertise to your cooking technique. Thanks to machine learning and neural network technology, you don’t have to worry about under or overcooking your food, or having a burnt crust with a raw filling. Plus, the June promises to preheat three times faster than other traditional ovens, so theoretically, you can get dinner on the table faster than before.

Your smart oven is capable of identifying 25 common foods and cooking them properly. Whether you want to caramelize a butternut squash or roast a chicken, June can select the correct multistep cooking program and let you worry about something else. No longer will you have to set up camp beside your oven, opening the door every once in a while to make sure things are cooking properly.

Even better, the June Oven has debuted a brand new recipe component in the companion June app. Whether you’re in the mood for an hors d’oeuvre like roasted carrot hummus or kale chips, or a main dish like sweet and sour chicken, or even a dessert like chocolate chip bread pudding, the June has your back. And if you’re looking for a more traditional holiday recipe, don’t worry — your smart oven can prepare cranberry sourdough stuffing for you, too. After all, with convection baking, broiling, roasting, and slow cooking capabilities, the June Pro is ready for anything.

The June app syncs automatically with the oven to set the necessary time, temperature, and your preferred doneness for each recipe (with more added every week). The app will also allow you to watch your food cook even if you’re not in the kitchen, and will send you a notification when everything is ready. And as an early holiday gift, June is offering six months of the app for free for users who download the app before December 31, 2017.

June’s team will install the smart oven for you, offering white glove service from purchase to first press of the button to ensure that June Pro fits in your home and in your life. Currently available in the standard 24-inch size, the company notes that more sizes are coming soon.

The June Pro cam be ordered now from the company website for $1,995, and you’ll be able to solidify your position as the host with the most.

Update: June adds holiday recipes.

My smart home experiment has reached its natural limit
Smart-home technology keeps improving, but being easier to automate doesn’t make everything worth automating

The first device I added to my smart home was a light bulb. It seemed like the safest possible place to start. I could turn it on from anywhere, put it on a schedule, and eventually work it into routines with everything else.

Then I tapped the button in the app and waited. The delay was only about half a second, but half a second is surprisingly noticeable when the alternative is a wall switch that responds immediately and has never once asked for a firmware update. Using my phone was worse. I had to unlock it, find the app, open the right room, and tap the light I could have switched on several steps earlier.

Google Home’s Interactive Storytime feature has me wondering who actually asked for this
Google Home gets interactive AI storytime, smarter alarms, and broader camera support.

Google Home's latest update introduces several new features, including Gemini-powered Interactive Storytime. While I’m not sure who asked for the feature, it lets families build original stories about specific topics on the fly, instead of just listening to a known story. 

So what's the big new feature here?

Proxima wants to move blood tests into the home, and it has cleared an important early hurdle
The portable analyzer delivers blood-count results in about 20 minutes, but its promise depends on transparent clinical data
Furniture, Table, Desk

Algocyte’s Proxima is designed to run blood-count tests from a small finger-prick sample and send the results to a clinician in about 20 minutes. For patients who need frequent monitoring, that could mean fewer trips to a clinic or laboratory.

The device has also moved beyond the concept stage. Proxima carries UK conformity credentials, while Algocyte operates under a certified medical-device quality system. Those steps give the project more weight than a prototype shown at a launch event.
