The details
- upliance.ai has launched a 12L smart oven, expanding its product line beyond its 5L and 6L air fryers.
- The new oven is designed for urban households needing full-scale cooking, not just occasional use.
- It features an AMOLED touchscreen and a proprietary AI system that adjusts cooking based on texture, not just time and temperature.

- The 12L model includes a rotating skewer, multiple tray levels, and a rotating basket for cooking multiple dishes at once.
- The product is priced at ₹19,999 and is available on the company’s website, Amazon, and select offline retailers.
The bigger picture
- The shift to a 12L model was driven by user data showing limitations in the smaller units.

- The new oven addresses both capacity and user error, offering a more versatile cooking experience.
- The company aims to reach 1 million cooking sessions within six months of the launch.

- The 12L oven is priced at ₹19,999 and is available through the company’s website, Amazon, and select offline retailers.
