OpenAI to launch ChatGPT-powered smart speaker with camera in 2027: Report

OpenAI's ChatGPT-powered smart speaker with display is expected to be priced anywhere between $200 (approx. Rs 18,149) and $300 (27,224).

In 2025, Apple's veteran product designer Jony Ive joined OpenAI to bring a brand new class of generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI ) devices.

Earlier this month, a report emerged indicating that the company is on track to unveil its product, an AI pair of earphones.

Now, it has come to light that the 200-plus team helmed by Jony Ive are working on a variety of gen AI devices, including the ChatGPT-powered smart speaker. This segment is primarily dominated by Google, Amazon, and Apple, with the Home, Echo and HomePod series of smart speakers.

While base models come with just Wi-Fi connected speakers with digital assistant support, the top-end variants features touch display and a high-resolution camera along with a big speaker.

The models with smart display and camera are doing well in the industry. Apple is said to be working on a similar smart speaker with a non-detachable iPad-like display and camera.

Now, the OpenAI device team have almost finalised the device, and if things go as planned, it may launch early 2027, around February. And, it is likely to be priced anywhere between $200 (approx. Rs 18,149) and $300 (27,224), reported The Information.

OpenAI's earphones understood to be called 'Dime' is xpected to be showcased in late 2026 and hit stores early next year,r along with the smart speaker.
