OpenAI is reportedly working on its first hardware device, and it may be very different from today’s smart speakers.
According to reports, the device will be a screen-free AI smart speaker that connects with ChatGPT and acts like a personal assistant at home. Instead of just answering questions, it could learn your habits over time, remember your preferences, and provide more personalized help.
One of the most interesting claims is that the device may include moving mechanical parts, making it feel more like a companion than a regular speaker.
The project is said to involve several former Apple engineers who helped create products like the iPhone and Mac. However, the device is still under development, and OpenAI has not officially announced it.
At the same time, OpenAI is facing legal challenges related to its hardware efforts, though the company has denied any wrongdoing.
If these reports are accurate, OpenAI’s first hardware product could mark a new step toward AI-powered devices that become a more natural part of everyday life.
