Tmall Genie Home Intelligence 3.0: The era of spatial intelligence where homes gain perception has arrived

At the "Smart Terminals, Future Life" exhibition area of the 2025 Yunqi Conference, a real - life experience of a future home attracted a crowd. As visitors entered the living room of the exhibition area, AI sensors recognized their movement paths, and the welcome lights slowly lit up. When they sat on the sofa, without any manual operation, the ambient AI Agent automatically linked with scene devices such as the central air - conditioner, air purifier, and smart sofa to create a relaxing and intelligent home environment. When visitors entered the bedroom, saying "Tmall Genie, I'm going to rest" would prompt the smart bed to prepare the "sleep - inducing mode" and wait to record the user's sleep data, while the scene lights automatically adjusted to the sleep scene mode... This is not a science - fiction scenario but a real - world transformation brought about by Alibaba's Tmall Genie Whole - Home Smart 3.0, which announces that the smart home has officially entered the era of "space intelligence" - the home begins to have the ability to perceive and think.

Strategic Upgrade: Three Core Capabilities Build the Foundation of Space Intelligence

Tmall Genie's ecological business announced a comprehensive upgrade of the "space intelligence" strategy at the Yunqi Conference, firmly investing in the construction of three core capabilities to promote the historical leap of the industry from "device networking" to "space awakening".

● Space Perception: With the distributed space network host as the "nerve center", AI space sensors and AI environment sensors build a space perception network, breaking traditional connection limitations and achieving the integration of the "human - device - space" networks. As a result, the home gains the "foresight" ability: in the formaldehyde removal scenario, the system automatically learns the environmental operation, and the window pusher actively closes the windows before a sudden rainstorm.

● Space Understanding: Based on Alibaba's Tongyi large - model, it drives the HomeAgent to build a "collaborative cognitive system". Through continuous learning of family members' habits, it achieves proactive care of "acting before being asked": the bedroom seamlessly switches between sleep - inducing before bedtime, sleep monitoring during sleep, and wake - up after sleep, and the night - light is automatically triggered when getting up at night.

● Ecological Service: It jointly established the "Space Intelligence Alliance" with top partners such as Fotile, Serta, and Sidi, achieving seamless collaboration of multiple devices in multiple scenarios with just "one sentence". Saying "Prepare breakfast", the Fotile range hood and stove are turned on, and the Sidi lights focus on the cooking counter, allowing the warmth and care of the home to flow seamlessly.

Tmall Genie Whole - Home Smart 3.0 reconstructs the relationship between people, space, and devices with three technological breakthroughs:

● Expansion and Upgrade of Space Infrastructure: The new Kunlun T20S distributed space network host builds a whole - home WiFi7 network, is equipped with a high - end Qualcomm processor, and is configured with 512MB flash memory and 512MB RAM. It supports local operation and storage of user rules and instructions, achieving extremely fast response for scene control and protecting user information security. Thanks to the leading Kunlun T20S host, under the support of the "human + object + space" network - integrated architecture different from previous space network solutions, Tmall Genie Whole - Home Smart is no longer limited to traditional home appliances such as lights, curtains, and sweeping robots, but extends home intelligent linkage to more terminals such as smartphones and smart watches, truly building a space - intelligent network that integrates the three networks and realizing seamless intelligent services in the home space.

● Accurate Perception Evolution: The AI space sensor can cover a large space of 64㎡ per device, track the dynamics of 5 people simultaneously, perform accurate position recognition of multiple people and scene linkage, and the lights follow people like a shadow; the AI environment sensor monitors health indicators in real - time, actively learns user habits and the surrounding environment, and links with smart devices to easily achieve five - constant adjustment.

● Scene Self - Evolution: The rule - based scenes are comprehensively upgraded to HomeAgent based on space understanding and decision - making. Under the atmosphere Agent, the theme scenes no longer need manual arrangement and are completely automatically realized. They can also be automatically adjusted according to environmental rhythm changes. The environment Agent can achieve automatic configuration and self - learning of various complex conditions. The engineer demonstrated on - site that it only takes 10 seconds to scan the code to connect a new purifier, and the "formaldehyde removal mode" automatically adds an "air purification" scene to accelerate formaldehyde removal, which is very convenient. The system can not only remember user habits but also predict needs: closing windows on rainy days, automatically waking up with lights in the morning, ending the era of manual adjustment.

Ecological Co - prosperity: Expanding the Circle of Friends Leads the Industry's Future

Behind the technological leap is the rapid and strong expansion of the Tmall Genie ecosystem. In 2025, its circle of friends has covered leading enterprises in vertical industries, achieving seamless cross - category linkage; more than 70 flagship experience stores across the country have been established in core business districts. At this Yunqi Conference, Alibaba's "Genie Future Home Space Intelligence Designer Alliance" was established, bringing together hundreds of top designers to provide full - link solutions from technology implementation to aesthetic scenes.

"Traditional smart homes are 'passive response tools', while Tmall Genie Whole - Home Smart 3.0 is an 'active service partner'. Space intelligence is not just cold technology codes and hardware stacking, but a family brain and life butler that understands you best." Zheng Fangzhou, the person - in - charge of Tmall Genie's whole - home smart business, defined this leap in this way. When the lights follow people, the air - conditioner senses the temperature, and new devices automatically integrate into the daily routine, the home evolves from a simple physical space into a real "life form" that "understands you".
