Live #LikeABosch: People first. Sensor-smart. AI powered.

Making its international debut at CES, Bosch Cook AI is an intelligent new solution that combines agentic artificial intelligence, Bosch’s proprietary appliance technologies, sensors and a unique user experience within the Home Connect app.

The technology provides live, precise guidance through the app, helping users more easily create complex meals, such as cooking multiple steaks to different levels of doneness, simultaneously. Unlike static recipe-based tools, the system dynamically adapts to the ingredients users have on hand and can intelligently orchestrate multiple Bosch appliances in tandem to help work toward a desired cooking outcome.

Amazon and Bosch: First Espresso Machine Globally to be Powered by Alexa+ New Natural Language AI Technology

Engineering teams at BSH and Amazon have worked to fully integrate Amazon’s new Alexa+ generative AI technology with the espresso machine – enabling consumers to talk to their Bosch 800 Series fully-automatic espresso machine just as they would with their local barista.

Using natural language, users may now control every aspect of the already-advanced espresso machine to formulate and improve daily coffee routines. The AI assistant leverages its vast knowledge base, along with machine learning, to pass the command to the espresso machine. The result of this collaboration is barista-level drinks, with all the personalization of a neighborhood coffee shop.

“The collaboration between Alexa+ and Bosch on the 800 series espresso machine demonstrates how conversational AI can deliver sophisticated experiences for our shared customers,” said Amazon Vice President for Alexa and Echo, Daniel Rausch. “We are designing new tools to bring Alexa+ intelligence to more smart home devices, and Bosch is one of the first brands building on those experiences.”

Clean Beyond the Visible: Bosch Unlimited 10 and 9 Premium Cordless Stick Vacuums Debut in North America

The MicroClean Technology sensor detects microscopic particles, down to 0.3 microns – while the MicroClean LED Ring turns blue to confirm when surfaces are really clean. The high-efficiency brushless motor – developed and built by Bosch in Germany – offers outstanding cleaning performance backed by a confidence-inspiring 10-year motor warranty.²
