# OpenAI’s rumoured $300 smart speaker may launch in 2027 2026-08-07T06:16:21+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet OpenAI’s first major hardware product may be a battery-powered, screenless smart speaker shaped like a small doughnut, India Today reports, citing Bloomberg. Roughly the size of a hockey puck, the device is expected to include microphones, speaker grilles, lights, cameras and other sensors. Movable parts could make interactions more visible, while the battery would allow users to carry it around the home. The device is being designed with LoveFrom, the studio founded by former Apple designer Jony Ive. OpenAI may price it at $300, or about Rs 28,000, in the US, with a launch expected in 2027. The company reportedly wants it to act as an always-available AI companion that learns users’ preferences over time. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in - gadgets360.com Tags: AI hardware, ChatGPT, Jony Ive, OpenAI, smart speakers Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/openais-reported-chatgpt-speaker-may-cost-300-and-launch-in-2027/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
