• The smart assistant in the Miele App* helps users with cooking and choosing the right appliance settings

• Programmes and settings can be sent directly to connected ovens

• Feature available in Germany and Austria from Q2 2026

At EuroCucina in Milan, Miele is introducing a new artificial intelligence-based cooking assistant called CulinaryCoach*. This feature in the Miele App* helps users find the right settings for their dish more quickly and transfer programmes directly to connected ovens. The CulinaryCoach* will be available in Germany and Austria from the second quarter of 2026.

Whether trying out a new recipe or whipping up something tasty when pressed for time, many people rely on familiar appliance settings in their everyday cooking. This is also demonstrated by Miele usage data: in around 75 percent of all cooking processes, customers use just two operating modes: top/bottom heat and hot air. Many other functions of modern oven remain unused in everyday life.

At the same time, more and more people are turning to AI-based assistants to get quick and straightforward answers to cooking-related questions. Consequently, global enquiries in this context are on the rise – now reaching the triple-digit million range per week.

This is exactly where CulinaryCoach comes in. The assistant in the Miele App makes using the oven as intuitive as a conversation: users describe what they want to cook – via text, voice or photo. Drawing on curated Miele cooking and appliance expertise, the assistant guides the cooking process, provides suitable recommendations, answers questions and transfers the optimal settings directly to the connected appliance.

“With CulinaryCoach, we support customers even beyond the appliance itself. By combining appliance knowledge with culinary expertise, we have created an intelligent companion that provides guidance, inspires and makes cooking easier,” says Peter Hübinger, Senior Vice President of the Smart Home/Electronics Business Unit at Miele.

The new feature will be available in the Miele App for users in Germany and Austria from the second quarter of 2026. Initially, the CulinaryCoach will be compatible with selected ovens from the H7860BP/x series, with further models and appliance categories to follow.
