LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 6, 2026--

TP-Link Systems Inc., a United States-based global leader in networking and smart home solutions, today announced the introduction of Aireal TM, its new AI assistant that works across networking and smart home devices to make connections clearer, faster, and easier to manage. As TP-Link’s headline innovation at CES 2026, Aireal brings simple, helpful AI to homes, turning complex Wi-Fi and smart home tasks into easy, natural conversations.

This integrated intelligence is made possible by Aireal's cross-category AI, which is designed to work seamlessly across routers, cameras, lights, and more. This holistic approach replaces frustrating menu navigation with intuitive, natural-language control. For instance, users can troubleshoot issues in plain English, with Aireal explaining the issue in simple words and providing clear, actionable steps to resolve it, safeguarding your network and keeping you in control.

Aireal also delivers AI-powered event understanding, not just basic detection. It transforms home awareness by allowing users to search video recordings conversationally. Simply ask a question or type a keyword like, “Show me when the package arrived,” “Find clips of strangers at my door,” or “When did my kids get home?” to quickly locate relevant moments, thus reducing tedious scrolling and guesswork. Describe a desired routine in simple words, and Aireal can automatically create actions across your compatible devices, making smart home automation faster and more efficient.

To combat notification fatigue, Aireal provides meaningful summaries and merges repeated alerts. It aims to deliver clear, concise notifications, delivering important details as events occur without requiring you to open the app. In the background, Aireal provides a smoother connection through proactive network optimization. It employs AI QoS, Anti-Interference, and Self-Healing features to prioritize your activities and minimize potential Wi-Fi issues before they disrupt your experience.

Furthermore, Aireal offers personalized insights and recommendations for device placement, usage, and product fit. It also helps households save energy and lower bills. For instance, by intelligently adapting to your usage patterns, Aireal can automatically shift routers into Eco mode, reducing overall energy consumption without sacrificing network performance.

Aireal is available starting today with Tapo and Deco devices. Three such products being showcased at CES 2026 and incorporating Aireal include Tapo C645D Kit, a new dual-lens camera design with wider coverage and clearer details; Tapo C465, a flexible 4K solar camera with an adjustable all-in-one design and magnetic base; and Tapo C710, a greater-value floodlight camera with a brighter floodlight and smarter detection.
