TechCrunch Spotlights 6 AI Kitchen Gadgets Led by 500-Dish Nosh Robot

Six hands-free kitchen gadgets made TechCrunch’s latest list, highlighting automated tools aimed at reducing cooking effort after work.
Nosh’s AI-powered Chef Robot is the most advanced entry: it can chop, stir, sauté, portion, plate and self-clean, supports more than 500 dishes, and is slated to ship in summer 2026 after a Kickstarter preorder.
Other picks focus on narrower tasks, including StirMate’s third-generation pot stirrer with a 10-hour battery and KitchenArm’s smart bread machine with 29 automatic programs.
De’Longhi’s Rivelia coffee machine stores up to four user profiles, while Nama’s M1 makes plant milk in minutes and KitchenArt’s spice carousel dispenses 1/4-teaspoon measures.
Together, the list points to a broader countertop trend: AI-driven or automated appliances that turn multi-step kitchen work into mostly hands-off routines.
