Most people buy smart kitchen gadgets and use maybe one or two features. The air fryer has 12 presets — you use 2. The smart oven can sync with recipes — you set it manually every time. The fridge tracks expiration dates — you ignore the notifications.

The problem isn't the hardware. It's that nothing talks to each other.

Your smart oven doesn't know what your fridge has in it. Your recipe app doesn't know which appliances you own. Your meal prep has zero automation.

That's what KitchenIQ fixes. It's the software layer that connects your kitchen devices into one system:

• Auto-preheat your oven when you start prepping a recipe

• Smart inventory that tracks what's in your fridge and suggests meals before food expires

• One-tap routines — "morning coffee + toast" or "dinner for 4" that orchestrate multiple devices

• Usage insights so you actually discover the features you're paying for

If you've invested in smart kitchen tech but feel like you're not getting the full value — that's exactly who this is for.
