Why It Matters
The Service Trade Fair is an important international services trade exhibition held in China. In recent years, it has focused on displaying digital services and innovative technology applications. The penetration of AI technology in the field of life services is becoming an important means to improve user experience and solve practical problems.
China Central Broadcasting Network, Beijing, September 12 (Reporters Hu Bo and Niu Meng) According to the Economic Voice of China Central Radio and Television Station, when shopping, you are entangled in which product to choose; you like a piece of furniture but don’t know how it will work at home; the disabled elderly at home are bedridden all year round and have difficulty turning over and need help... In daily life, if you encounter these difficulties, AI can help you solve them. At the 2026 Service Trade Fair, innovative cases of AI applications in the field of life services can be seen everywhere.
AI assistant: covering 12 types of local life needs
At the conference, Meituan demonstrated the application of large models and agents in daily consumption, merchant operations, instant delivery and other scenarios. An intelligent agent called "Xiaotuan" AI assistant can provide consumers with consumption suggestions.
According to on-site staff, the intelligent agent can understand conditions such as time, location, budget, peers and personal preferences, and combines business information and user reviews of merchants to provide consumers with a reference. It currently covers 12 types of local life needs, such as finding restaurants, making guides, ordering takeout, finding products, and finding medicines based on symptoms.
Smart shopping guide application: Easily preview the real-life effect of furniture after it is placed in your home
The biggest problem for online buyers when installing large-ticket items is that they don’t know whether sofas and cabinets will look good in their homes. Taotian exhibited an AI intelligent shopping guide application "Put My Home" on site, which allows consumers to preview the real-life effects of furniture after it is installed in their homes.
Company staff told reporters: "Through this smart shopping guide application, consumers only need to check a few products they want, and they can generate renderings of the products separately and preview the matching effect of putting these products together. You can also directly change the background, that is, take a photo and upload the real scene of your home. After the image is uploaded, it will render the products you selected previously into the background of your home, and the overall effect will be revealed."
Intelligent care bed: improving the quality of life of disabled people
In the field of health care, common pain points are that it is difficult for disabled elderly people to turn and move, the nursing labor consumption is high, and the risk of patient transportation is high. Zhengren Huikang displayed a smart care bed at the scene, which is mainly aimed at disabled people who are bedridden for a long time.
Zhao Jie, the company's marketing director, said that the function of this nursing bed is designed to prevent bedsores. It uses bed separation technology to lift bed sleepers directly from the mattress, effectively releasing the patient's back pressure, thus achieving the effect of preventing bedsores.
According to reports, this bed can also assist in movements such as translation, standing, and high sitting positions. It also integrates big data, artificial intelligence, intelligent Internet of Things, intelligent remote and other technologies, and has formed four systematic solutions for intelligent nursing, transportation, defecation assistance and bathing assistance.
