emirates7 - OpenAI’s much-anticipated push into consumer devices is slated to begin with a mobile, screen-free smart speaker designed to be a new type of home computer for the AI era, Bloomberg reported, citing sources.

The product — still under development — is meant to serve as a humanlike AI companion that lives in the home. It will help control smart-home appliances, play media, answer questions, respond to messages and tap into the range of capabilities offered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
