As people's requirements for the comfort of the home environment continue to increase, even the air quality at home has become an important aspect that requires refined management.

Imagine this scenario:

The air condition at home is managed by an "COLMO AI Butler". It is connected to all smart home devices, capable of real - time capturing data such as indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, PM2.5, carbon dioxide, TVOC, and formaldehyde. Based on the user's living preferences and the environment - adaptive control algorithm, it can call the corresponding devices to precisely manage the indoor micro - climate.

During the rainy season, it can stabilize the room temperature at 20°C and control the humidity at 40%, bringing a continuous refreshing feeling. If TVOC and formaldehyde exceed the standard when moving into a new home, it can mobilize air purification equipment to ensure a healthy air quality cycle. Before going to bed, users only need to say "HI COLMO, I'm going to sleep", and the temperature and humidity of the bedroom air will be automatically adjusted to the most comfortable mode.

From morning exercise after getting up, leaving home for work, to returning home for meal preparation, watching movies for entertainment, and then to falling asleep under soft light, people's imagination of a fully smart home life is now becoming a reality.

On July 28, COLMO, an AI technology home appliance brand, launched the full - dimensional AI solution COLMO AI HOME at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2025), and presented for the first time the COLMO AI Butler, the first AI Agent in the smart home field that has been put into practical application.

In the on - site exhibition area, the COLMO Turing Suite, with its 11 home appliance products including central air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, and dishwashers, forms a complete living scenario experience space. The COLMO AI Butler enables the coordinated operation of multiple devices through its communication, thinking, and service capabilities.

Among them, the COLMO AI Butler is built based on basic model applications such as self - developed large models, leading external large models, and multi - dimensional data models. It has multi - dimensional perception capabilities such as environmental, visual, and tactile perception, and is equipped with natural interaction solutions such as anthropomorphic emotions, natural voice interaction, and visual gesture interaction. It can achieve cross - device dynamic coordinated scheduling of all home appliances and furniture through the COLMO AI Smart Control Screen, the COLMO APP, and other home appliance products with voice input, and make autonomous decisions and execute whole - house intelligent operations.

To implement an AI Agent that can be applied in a complex home environment, multiple technical barriers still need to be overcome. These barriers involve both the breakthrough of the technical underlying architecture and the in - depth adaptation to the characteristics of the home scenario.

On the one hand, there are significant differences in the housing layouts of users, and there are compatibility issues with the sensor protocols of home appliances from different manufacturers. At the same time, the habits of users in multi - member families vary greatly, and the living scenarios are always in dynamic change. For example, there are often situations such as temporarily adding furniture or having family gatherings during holidays. Different from the previous command - based interaction of home appliances, such as users opening windows or air conditioners through voice commands, with the help of AI technology, this interaction mode is changing.

The AI Agent and the AI HOME solution launched by COLMO are essentially an integrated system that can achieve end - to - end understanding, planning, and even executable operations in the future.

"The complexity of the home environment increases exponentially compared to a single device. The key lies in integrating the capabilities of large models to break the previous state of fragmented operation of small systems," Xu Yi, the dean of the AI Research Institute of Midea Group, told 36Kr. "In the user's home environment, the system is gradually achieving a certain degree of autonomous decision - making. Our research mainly focuses on three directions: First, understanding user needs, which is the foundation; second, achieving proactive prediction based on user habits, thinking one step ahead; in addition, we are also exploring ways to allow users to 'teach' the model how to operate, so as to achieve continuous iterative improvement."

Currently, COLMO has achieved a full - chain closed - loop from single - product intelligence to scenario intelligence. In terms of hardware, COLMO uses category - edge intelligent AI algorithms to build a continuously evolving local AI brain for smart home appliance products. On the software cloud service side, COLMO innovatively launched the Nexus Tianshu Platform, which integrates external general large models, self - developed large models in the home appliance field, and the "car - person - home" ecological interconnection.

The above technologies have been deeply integrated into the three major home appliance suites of COLMO, namely the Turing Suite, the New Image Suite, and the Ruiji Suite, enabling home appliances to truly evolve from "functional tools" to "embodied intelligent agents".

Shang Zhe, the person in charge of the whole - house intelligence of Midea Group, pointed out that by covering the full - dimensional AI capabilities from software to hardware and from scenarios to single products, deeply understanding user needs, autonomously coordinating whole - house devices, and continuously evolving service capabilities, a smarter, more personalized, and more unobtrusive future home life experience can be provided for families.

In addition, COLMO is trying to introduce humanoid robots into the home scenario. At the exhibition area, the humanoid robot can wake up the entire Turing Kitchen through the smart screen control panel, and can open the refrigerator door to get fresh fruits and make coffee through voice commands. In the future, COLMO humanoid robots will continue to explore more usage scenarios and will enter the smart home stores under Midea in the second half of the year to provide services such as guided tours and home appliance operation demonstrations.
