OpenAI's first consumer device will be a new type of home computer for the AI era. The mobile, screen-free smart speaker is meant to serve as a humanlike AI companion that lives in the home. It will be able to control smart-home devices, play media, answer questions, respond to messages, and tap into the range of capabilities offered by ChatGPT. OpenAI envisions the device anticipating needs, surfacing information proactively, and serving as an expert on its user. The product's defining feature will be its personality and ability to connect on a humanlike level with users.
