Bosch is redefining the smart kitchen experience with the global debut of Bosch Cook AI, unveiled at CES 2026 as part of BSH Home Appliances’ showcase. This next-generation cooking assistant isn’t just another recipe app—it’s a dynamic, AI-powered system designed to guide users in real time, adapt to available ingredients, and orchestrate multiple appliances simultaneously.
From Passive Recipes to Active Culinary Coaching
Unlike traditional digital cookbooks, Bosch Cook AI offers live, responsive support throughout the cooking process. Whether you’re juggling multiple dishes or aiming for precise doneness on several steaks, the system adjusts on the fly—minimizing manual input and maximizing culinary confidence. It’s all made possible through Bosch’s integration of agentic AI, a form of artificial intelligence capable of making autonomous decisions based on real-time data.
“Cook AI reflects our commitment to making AI genuinely useful in everyday life,” said Darcy Clarkson, CEO of BSH Region North America. “It’s not about replacing the cook—it’s about empowering them.”
How It Works: Smarter Sensors, Seamless Sync
Cook AI taps into Bosch’s ecosystem of connected appliances via the Home Connect app. Users start by snapping a photo of their ingredients and selecting preferences like doneness level. From there, the system takes over: regulating pan temperature, syncing with Bosch’s AutoChef technology, and using a Bluetooth probe to monitor internal food temperatures. The result? Perfectly cooked meals with less guesswork and more consistency.
A Star-Studded Demo with Chef Marcel Vigneron
To showcase its capabilities, Bosch enlisted celebrity chef Marcel Vigneron—winner of Last Chef Standing—for a live demo on CES Media Day. Using a Bosch induction cooktop, Vigneron prepared a steak to perfection, guided by Cook AI’s real-time prompts. His verdict? “Even for professionals, having a smart sous-chef like this is a welcome addition to the kitchen.”
What’s Next?
Bosch Cook AI will soon be available through the Bosch Home Connect app, bringing intelligent, intuitive cooking to households worldwide. As AI continues to evolve, Bosch is leading the charge in making smart kitchens not just connected—but truly collaborative
