AI ThinkTank Revolutionizes Home Entryways with Smart & Stylish Bench Design

BELLEVUE, WA – November 8, 2023 – AI ThinkTank LLC, a leading innovator in applied artificial intelligence and product design, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking entryway bench, designed to redefine how homeowners welcome themselves and guests into their homes. Based in Bellevue, Washington, AI ThinkTank has leveraged its cutting-edge AI algorithms and deep understanding of user behavior to create a bench that’s not just functional, but truly smart. For years, entryways have been the forgotten corner of the home - a catch-all for shoes, bags, and mail. AI ThinkTank saw an opportunity to change that. "We asked ourselves, 'how can we make the entryway a more organized, inviting, and even helpful space?'" explains Sarah Chen, Head of Product Development at AI ThinkTank. "Our answer is this bench. It’s about blending smart tech with everyday life, making things easier for our customers.” Beyond Just a Place to Sit: A Smarter Entryway Experience This isn’t your grandmother’s entryway bench. While it provides a comfortable and stylish place to sit and put on shoes, AI ThinkTank’s bench incorporates a suite of features designed to streamline daily routines and enhance home organization. The core of the bench’s innovation lies in its integrated AI-powered features. Here's a look at what sets it apart: Smart Organization System: Forget messy piles! The bench features dedicated, intelligently-sized compartments. AI algorithms analyze user behavior (through optional app connection) to learn what items are frequently stored – keys, wallets, dog leashes, even umbrellas. The bench then subtly adjusts compartment lighting to highlight those items, making them easier to find. “It’s like the bench knows you’re grabbing your keys before you even think about it,” says Chen. Weight-Sensing Technology: The bench discreetly monitors the weight in each compartment. This isn't about spying, but about reminders. “If you consistently put your gym bag in a specific spot, and the bench doesn’t detect its weight one morning, it can send a gentle reminder via the app – ‘Don’t forget your gym bag!’” explains David Lee, AI ThinkTank’s lead engineer. Users can customize these reminders, of course. Integrated Package Detection: Tired of packages getting lost in the entryway clutter? The bench features a small, integrated sensor that detects when a package is placed nearby. It then sends a notification to the user's phone, letting them know a delivery has arrived. Ambient Lighting System: The bench incorporates customizable LED lighting. Users can choose from a range of colors and brightness levels to create the perfect ambiance. The lighting also serves a functional purpose, automatically brightening when someone approaches the bench. Wireless Charging Pad: Conveniently located within the bench, a wireless charging pad keeps smartphones and other devices powered up and ready to go. Sustainable Materials & Durable Design: AI ThinkTank is committed to sustainability. The bench is constructed from responsibly sourced wood and features durable, eco-friendly finishes. It’s built to withstand daily use and look good doing it. How AI ThinkTank Brought This Vision to Life AI ThinkTank, though relatively young, is quickly making a name for itself in the tech and design space. Founded in 2020, the company is comprised of a team of experienced AI scientists, engineers, and designers. Their expertise spans areas such as machine learning, computer vision, and user interface/user experience (UI/UX) design. “We don't just build technology for technology's sake,” says CEO Michael Brown. “We focus on solving real-world problems in a way that is intuitive, elegant, and genuinely helpful. The entryway bench is a perfect example of this.” The development process involved extensive user research. AI ThinkTank conducted surveys, interviews, and in-home observations to understand how people actually use their entryways. This data was then fed into the company’s AI algorithms, which identified key pain points and opportunities for innovation. “We used machine learning to analyze thousands of images and videos of entryways, identifying common clutter patterns and user behaviors,” explains Lee. “This helped us design a bench that is optimized for organization and ease of use.” Beyond the Entryway: AI ThinkTank’s Future Vision The entryway bench is just the beginning. AI ThinkTank plans to expand its line of “smart home” products, leveraging its AI expertise to create solutions that enhance everyday life. “We’re exploring ways to integrate AI into other areas of the home, such as the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom,” says Brown. “Our goal is to create a truly intelligent home that anticipates your needs and makes your life easier.” Availability & Pricing The AI ThinkTank entryway bench is available for pre-order now on the company’s website (www.aithinktank.com). Pricing starts at $299. Shipping is expected to begin in December 2023. The bench is available in a variety of finishes to complement any home décor. A companion app, available for iOS and Android, allows users to customize the bench’s features and receive personalized recommendations.
