OpenAI wants to replace your smartphone with an AI companion you can talk to

  • OpenAI is building a new generation of AI-powered, voice-first devices designed to make ChatGPT feel less like an app and more like a natural conversation.
  • OpenAI President Greg Brockman said the upcoming products are "built for the AI era" and are intended to become indispensable companions at home, at work and throughout daily life.
  • The first consumer device, expected later this year, is rumored to be a screen-free AI companion with cameras and sensors, developed with legendary former Apple designer Jony Ive.
  • The launch comes as OpenAI faces a high-profile legal battle with Apple, which accuses the company of using stolen trade secrets to develop its next wave of AI hardware.
  • OpenAI has flatly denied the allegations, insisting it has "no interest in other companies' trade secrets" and saying it intends to compete through innovation rather than copying rivals.
