OpenAI is building a family of AI powered consumer devices, including a smart speaker, smart glasses and potentially other connected hardware, according to a report from The Information.
The first device, a smart speaker, is designed to passively observe its surroundings and deliver context-aware responses through ChatGPT, enabling features such as automated grocery ordering based on object recognition and personalized advice drawn from real-time environmental data.
The speaker is expected to launch as early as February 2027, with a projected price between $200 and $300, positioning it to compete directly with Amazon’s Echo and Apple’s HomePod in the smart home market.
OpenAI has partnered with Jony Ive, the designer behind many of Apple’s iconic products, and recruited engineers from Apple’s hardware division to support the initiative.
The company is also reportedly developing additional devices, including smart glasses, as part of a broader push into consumer electronics, though they are not expected to reach mass production until 2028.
