OpenAI's first ChatGPT gadget could turn out to be a smart speaker with a camera attached

• OpenAI could be developing a ChatGPT smart speaker
• A price point of $200-$300 has been reported
• It seems as though multiple devices are being developed

We know OpenAI is working on hardware, but what form will its first gadgets take? According to a new report, the first official ChatGPT device to see the light of day will be a smart speaker with an integrated camera.

As per The Information (via The Verge), the device will come in at $200-$300 (around £150-£225 / AU$285-AU$425), and will be able to recognize objects around it – as well as offering facial recognition to authorize purchases.

If the device sees the light of day at some point during 2026, it will arrive 12 years after the original Amazon Echo showed up with Alexa on board. While the on-board AI might be vastly different, the form factor endures.
