OpenAI Plans AI-Powered Smart Speaker and Smartphone to Enter Hardware Market
OpenAI is expanding into hardware with plans to launch a screenless smart speaker first, followed by an AI smartphone around 2027. The speaker, designed with former Apple designer Jony Ive, aims to be a portable companion device featuring a camera and mechanical elements for presence. Powered by ChatGPT and GPT-Live, it will control smart home devices and personalize interactions. OpenAI views this as a new product category, distinct from existing smart speakers, and aims to compete directly with Apple’s hardware offerings.
