PANews, July 15 – According to a report by Cailian Press, OpenAI is developing a screenless, movable smart speaker, positioned as an AI companion device with human-like traits. It can link and control smart home appliances while deeply invoking all of ChatGPT’s capabilities. The core design feature of this device is that it iterates and personalizes itself continuously as it gains deeper understanding of the user’s habits, proactively delivering services. Its most prominent highlight is a dedicated personality, capable of building human-like emotional connections with users. OpenAI plans to officially launch the product this year and begin market sales in 2027. However, the project may face delays due to a lawsuit filed by Apple, which accuses OpenAI of stealing its trade secrets to accelerate the development of its own hardware devices.
