The AI Tamagotchis are coming
While AI has made plenty of inroads on people's phones and computers, it's largely failed in dedicated devices. But over the next year, two major AI companies, Meta and OpenAI, will attempt to change that.
AI Summary
Meta and OpenAI plan to launch dedicated hardware devices featuring their AI software agents within the next year. Both companies aim to gauge consumer interest by offering “cutesy” agents that function like digital pets. The effort marks a shift from the companies’ usual focus on phone and computer integrations toward standalone physical products. The initiative suggests a broader push to embed AI in everyday objects, though specific designs or release dates were not detailed.
