OpenAI is reportedly developing a screen-free smart speaker designed as a new type of home computer for the AI era, aiming for a human-like and personalized user experience.

The venture faces competition from existing AI-enabled smart speakers by Amazon and Google, as well as other AI-first devices like ElliQ and the now-defunct Humane AI Pin. Adding to the complexity, Apple has sued OpenAI, alleging the company used stolen trade secrets from former Apple employees to build its hardware division. AI
