## Summary

OpenAI is developing a portable, screen-free smart speaker as its first consumer hardware product, according to Bloomberg. The device, designed by Jony Ive's studio LoveFrom and staffed by former Apple designers, will act as an AI home companion capable of controlling smart-home appliances, playing media, answering questions, and leveraging ChatGPT's capabilities. It includes a camera and sensors for contextual awareness. The news comes alongside Apple filing a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing it of trade-secret theft through former Apple employees recruited to build its hardware business.
