OpenAI Bets on a Movable, Screenless AI Home Companion
OpenAI is developing its first hardware product—a movable, screenless smart speaker designed as an AI home companion that runs a more advanced version of ChatGPT (GPT-Live), with sensors and a camera for context awareness and a rechargeable battery for roaming the home. Built with io Products and LoveFrom (led by former Apple designers), the device aims to be highly personalized and proactive, positioning OpenAI to compete with tech giants; the company plans to unveil it this year with a potential 2027 release, though plans could shift amid ongoing legal and development considerations.
