"We need to champion a fundamental shift in how we design technology from interfaces we control to companions we trust. Not through more screens or settings, but through intelligence that shapes what you see, how you cook, how you clean, and how your home responds to you-often invisibly, and always intentionally. This is what real AI looks like: a companion. It learns your habits."
"According to Pew Research, 62% of adults say they interact with AI at least several times a week, and 73% of U.S. adults say they are at least a little bit willing to let AI assist with their day-to-day activities. However, while most people today use AI primarily for answering their questions or researching products to buy, the real opportunity isn't in better search functionality alone."
In 2025 AI adoption surged, with 62% of adults interacting with AI several times a week and 73% willing to let AI assist daily activities. The consumer tech opportunity centers on using AI beyond search to simplify routines, save time, and make life more meaningful. Design must shift from interfaces users control to trusted companions that learn habits and act intentionally without constant input. Invisible intelligence will optimize home experiences—adjusting TV picture and sound, suggesting meals based on refrigerator contents, and coordinating appliances to reduce friction. By 2026, AI inside the home will become indispensable and deeply personal.
