The GE Profile Smart Fridge stops you from buying too much kale

"If you've ever bought a bag of spinach only to come home and realize you already had a bag of spinach, you may appreciate this fridge. I had a chance to check out the GE Profile Smart Fridge with Kitchen Assistant at CES and was surprised to find I kinda wanted one. To be perfectly honest, most attempts I've seen at the show to "stick some AI in it" are at best amusing but usually completely unnecessary."

"As for the spinach conundrum, that's handled by a crisper drawer camera, called Fridge Focus. Each time you open the drawers, a built-in camera (that you can physically shutter or turn off in the app) takes a video snapshot of what's left when you're done. So if you're at the store and wondering how much kale you already have, you can take a peek and see."

The GE Profile Smart Fridge with Kitchen Assistant pairs practical AI with hardware to reduce everyday kitchen hassles. A SmartHQ voice assistant consults the model's manual to answer maintenance queries and guide users to components such as the water filter. The autofill water dispenser works with an easily accessible filter located in the left-hand door beneath the ice maker. A Fridge Focus crisper-camera captures video snapshots each time drawers close, enabling remote checks of produce and quick additions to shopping lists. The camera cannot identify who accessed drawers. A patented barcode system helps streamline product recognition and shopping automation.
