According to reports, OpenAI is developing its first consumer device: a smart speaker equipped with a camera. With a possible launch in 2027 and an estimated price between 200 and 300 dollars, the device aims to interpret the visual environment, not just listen to commands. This approach raises an evolution in home assistants, but also generates questions about privacy in the home.

The prototype is based on computer vision to analyze the space and recognize objects, attempting to understand the context of the room. It would integrate a facial recognition system similar to Face ID, which would authorize operations like purchases securely. The idea is for the assistant to anticipate needs by observing, for example, missing foods or pending tasks, surpassing the traditional voice interaction model.
