Smart homes are no longer a futuristic fantasy. AI now powers voice assistants like Alexa, smart thermostats that learn your habits, and fridges that suggest recipes based on what’s inside.

These systems reduce energy use, improve convenience, and boost security—like AI-powered cameras that alert you when someone’s at the door. In the near future, we’ll see even more integration: AI-enabled washing machines that choose the best setting, or robotic vacuum cleaners that map your home more efficiently.
