This $400 Brisk It Smart Grill

Brisk It Unveils Smart Grill with Generative AI

Barbecue tech startup Brisk It has unveiled its latest smart grill at CES, which uses generative AI to automate cooking and create personalized recipes. The $399 Zelos 450 electric wood pellet smoker features 450 square inches of cooking space and Wi-Fi connectivity for remotely adjusting settings and monitoring food as it cooks via a mobile app.

AI-Powered Cooking Assistant

Whether you actually want AI to get in between you and your grilling is the bigger question. Brisk It says its Vera AI can “monitor, control, and automate the cook for you” at the push of a button, sending users notification updates on the cooking progress and reminders to do things like wrap or spritz ribs with water. If these prompts are missed or ignored, the AI will automatically adjust the grilling temperature to prevent food from being ruined. Ridiculous as it sounds, the company’s earlier models have received some positive reviews for their helpful automation.

Generative AI Features

The Vera 2.0 AI model provides a variety of generative AI features for automating cooking and recipe creation via Brisk It’s smart phone app. The latest Vera 2.0 model on the Zelos 450 includes new features like Smart Image Recognition, which uses photos of ingredients to generate recipes, and Recipe Re-creation, which can turn existing recipes into versions that can be automated on the grill.

Technical Specifications

The Zelos 450 has a temperature range of 180–500 degrees Fahrenheit that supports both slow cooking and high-heat grilling. The device is scheduled to be available to purchase at Amazon, The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, and the Brisk It Grills webstore sometime in Q1 2025.

Conclusion

The Zelos 450 smart grill with generative AI is a unique product that combines the traditional art of grilling with cutting-edge technology. While some may be skeptical about the need for AI in the grilling process, Brisk It’s latest model has shown promise in making cooking easier and more efficient for users.
