OpenAI is reportedly gearing up to launch new AI hardware that will let you interact with ChatGPT anywhere, even when you’re away from your phone or computer. According to recent leaks, there are several different gadgets being developed, and the first device could arrive by the end of next year or in early 2027.
According to multiple leaks and reports, here is a list of devices that are in the works –
-
Smart glasses with built-in AI voice and chatbot capabilities
-
A wearable AI pin that can answer your questions and possibly record voice memos
-
A handheld digital voice recorder, reimagined with AI-powered features
-
A smart speaker that skips the screen and focuses on hands-free, voice-first ChatGPT access
Some big names are reportedly involved in the conception of the aforementioned devices, including Luxshare and Goertek (companies that have worked on Apple hardware), and Jony Ive, Apple’s former design chief, is helping shape the vision for these devices.
The fundamental idea behind these gadgets isn’t to replace smartphones and laptops, but to give you new ways to stay connected to ChatGPT throughout the day. Whether you’re asking questions, saving notes, or getting reminders, these devices are designed to complement your existing tech setup. Think of these devices as physical manifestations of the popular LLM.
The rumor mill says OpenAI is likely to launch one device at first and follow up with more over time. This approach sounds similar to other AI wearables like the Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1, which unfortunately didn’t quite become mainstream, but these lukewarm experimetal devices have given OpenAI the confidence that they can get it right with smarter design and deeper AI integration.
Expect more details as we get closer to the expected launch window in late 2026 or early 2027.
