OpenAI Is Building a $200 Smart Speaker That Can SEE You — And Jony Ive Designed It
OpenAI just confirmed it has over 200 people building AI-powered gadgets, starting with a smart speaker that has a built-in camera. Yes, it watches you.
OpenAI is no longer just a software company. They're building actual physical devices now, and the first one is wild: a smart speaker with a camera that can see and understand your entire room.
This isn't some far-off concept. According to Reuters, OpenAI has more than 200 people working on a family of AI devices. The first product is a smart speaker priced between $200 and $300, designed by none other than Jony Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone.
The speaker uses continuous visual awareness, meaning it doesn't just listen to you like Alexa or Google Home. It actually looks around your space and understands what's happening. Imagine asking your speaker what's in the fridge, or having it remind you that you left the stove on.

Beyond the speaker, OpenAI is also exploring smart glasses and even a smart lamp. The speaker is expected to launch in early 2027.
The big question everyone's asking: do we really want an AI that can see everything in our homes? OpenAI is betting the answer is yes.
