OpenAI is developing a family of devices designed so people can carry ChatGPT and talk to it continuously. Company president Greg Brockman confirmed the plans in an interview on the New Things with Joanna Stern podcast. He said the products will be voice-first, moving beyond typing on screens toward more natural conversation with AI. Brockman described them as "built for the AI era" and "maximally useful" for personal and work life, adding that users can expect them soon. No specific designs or release dates were shared. OpenAI already shipped its first hardware earlier this month: a $230 miniature keyboard aimed at Codex users. A more consumer-focused gadget is expected later this year as a human-like companion. CEO Sam Altman has previously called such a product a third core device that stays aware of a user's surroundings and can sit unobtrusively in a pocket or on a desk. The effort involves designer Jony Ive.
