MIT students Jacob Payne and Ayah Mahmoud have developed Kitchen Cosmo, a kitchen gadget that transforms cooking from rigid recipe-following into collaborative improvisation based on whatever ingredients someone has on hand. A webcam scans the available items, dials allow a cook to indicate their mood and skill level, and analog switches can be flipped to set dietary preferences. Kitchen Cosmo combines those inputs to generate personalized recipes and send them to its thermal printer, creating a tactile, screenless interaction that feels more like consulting a knowledgeable kitchen companion than operating a digital device. The prototype's retro-futuristic aesthetic evokes an earlier era of computing, complete with analog dials and paper printouts that make AI's contributions visible and tangible. TREND BITEAs AI becomes ubiquitous, designers are exploring more intimate and tactile ways for people to interact with machine intelligence. Kitchen Cosmo exemplifies that shift with its helpful household presence. Rather than providing abstract cloud-based assistance, the appliance domesticates artificial intelligence, transforming it into something human-sized and approachable.This suggests a new category of AI-powered analog appliances that help people feel both futuristic and grounded. Beyond cooking, one could imagine screenless AI sewing machines, gardening assistants or even music tutors. The key is a blend of tactility and AI intelligence, with a dash of charm and delight.
