OpenAI builds a screenless smart speaker as an AI home companion

According to Bloomberg, OpenAI is working on its first consumer gadget: a portable smart speaker without a screen. The device is still in development and is meant to be an AI companion at home. It looks like a speaker but is described as a computer built for AI. It has cameras and sensors to understand the user's surroundings and runs advanced AI models, including GPT-Live for voice chats. It can also work as a smart home hub to control connected devices, play media, and have AI conversations. OpenAI aims to help busy people get more done, but hasn't shared details on compatible brands or platforms yet.
