Samsung’s Vision for a Smarter Home: AI Meets Everyday Life
Imagine walking into your home and having it instantly recognize what you need. That’s the future Samsung is painting with its latest announcement at Samsung Unpacked 2025. The tech giant unveiled its plans to enhance SmartThings, their smart home platform, with cutting-edge AI features designed to streamline your daily life through ambient sensing technology and generative AI.
Home AI: Personalized Experiences Through Advanced Sensing
Samsung’s upcoming “Home AI” features promise to tailor experiences by gathering insights from your everyday activities. By leveraging advanced sensor technology such as millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sound sensor devices, SmartThings aims to understand and respond to your home’s dynamics seamlessly.
“Our vision is to create an intelligent home ecosystem that adapitates to the user’s lifestyle in real-time,” Samsung shared.

Practical Applications: A Glimpse into Everyday Scenarios
Picture this: you’re in the middle of a workout, and SmartThings not only detects the type of exercise but also guides you on improving your form. Or, imagine drying your hair and having the robot vacuum automatically start cleaning up stray strands from the floor. Even your air purifier could kick in when it senses your pet jumping onto the couch, removing allergens from the air.
Generative AI: A Deeper Understanding of Your Home
The introduction of generative AI will enable SmartThings to gain a profound understanding of your environment, paving the way for further personalization. For instance, by taking photos of objects like chairs, Samsung’s Map View technology can create a 3D map of your home. This allows for more intuitive interactions—adjusting lighting or temperature based on your proximity to specific areas or objects.
