Building an Integrated AI-Driven Ecosystem for Smarter Living
On August 1, at Midea’s Global Innovation Park in Shanghai, Midea unveiled its new “Whole-Home Intelligence” strategy, outlining a future-oriented ecosystem shaped around three pillars: AI Agent capabilities, seamless convergence of smart home and smart appliances, and the “human-vehicle-home ecosystem”.
The upgraded Midea SmartHome App now connects more deeply with users through AI-driven experiences, while the seamless convergence of smart appliances and smart home solutions enables comprehensive, scenario-based services. Together with ecosystem partners, Midea is fostering an open, collaborative, and resource-sharing network that redefines intelligent living.
The “Xiaomei” AI Home Assistant, embedded within the SmartHome App, is the first of its kind in the home appliance industry. Powered by the Home Agent proactive intelligence model, Xiaomei allows users to not only control appliances and devices via remote voice commands but also generate personalized scenarios with a single request, access product support, schedule installation and maintenance services, design meal plans, or even create fitness routines—unlocking a truly intelligent lifestyle.
Expanding beyond the home, Midea’s people–vehicle–home ecosystem connects seamlessly with leading partners across industries. Collaborations with Huawei, VIVO, HONOR, OPPO, Xiaodu, Tmall Genie, HarmonyOS Smart Mobility, NIO, GAC, and others enable boundary-free interoperability, shared resources, and new application scenarios.
Leveraging its vast ecosystem of home appliances and smart devices, combined with the Xiaomei AI Assistant, Midea provides users with frictionless, full-scenario smart connectivity. From in-car systems that control home devices remotely, to smart screens that integrate vehicle functions, users can enjoy personalized “returning home” and “leaving home” modes that coordinate air, water, nutrition, lighting, security, and energy management—delivering a new vision of intelligent living.
With the revitalized SmartHome App, expanded hardware portfolio, launch of the IoT Developer Platform, and the growth of the Smart Select ecosystem, Midea is accelerating the implementation of its brand philosophy “Smart for Joy” — making smart living simpler and more enjoyable for families worldwide. Looking ahead, Midea will continue to partner with leading enterprises to drive the future of smart homes and reshape the way people live.
