Overview
- The Information reports OpenAI has more than 200 employees working on consumer devices that include a smart speaker, smart glasses, and a smart lamp.
- The first product is said to be a camera‑equipped smart speaker that can interpret nearby objects and conversations to offer proactive assistance.
- Sources say the speaker will use Face ID‑style facial recognition to authenticate purchases made through the device.
- Pricing is reportedly targeted at $200–$300, with shipment not expected before early 2027; a filing confirms no release before the end of February 2027.
- Further devices are earlier in development, with smart glasses unlikely to reach mass production until 2028 and the lamp uncertain, as reports detail technical, privacy, and organizational hurdles.
