OpenAI is developing a smart speaker, set to be released in 2027, with a price tag above $300. The device, designed without a screen, will feature a camera, microphones, and moving parts. It is intended to learn from user conversations and adapt to individual preferences. The product aligns with OpenAI's goal of creating a conversational AI assistant, as described by Sam Altman. The release of this smart speaker has implications for the development of AI-powered home devices.
