"There's been a lot of buzz around OpenAI and the secret device(s) it's been working on behind the scenes with the expertise of an industry veteran like former Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL) chief design officer Jony Ive. While Ive is arguably the undisputed king of device design, there's no guarantee that OpenAI's AI gadgets will hit the ground running once they are finally launched."
"And with recent rumors pointing to a pen form factor (codenamed Gumdrop), the AI device market is poised to take a very interesting turn. Undoubtedly, a smartpen definitely stands out as intriguing. Arguably, it's a more enticing form factor than a lapel pin or something of the sort, a form factor that many speculated could be in the cards given the slew of pin devices we've witnessed in recent years (think the discontinued Humane AI pin)."
"If the pen can detect handwriting in real-time and digitize it to some sort of app, perhaps there is potential in a device category that might appeal to a broader category of customers than originally expected. Perhaps the AI pen could be the perfect brainstorming tool for those who want to get to work but don't want to have so many screens open."
OpenAI is reportedly working on AI devices with design help from Jony Ive. Rumors point to a pen form factor codenamed Gumdrop that may include a microphone, a camera, and compact internals similar to an iPod Shuffle. A smartpen could detect handwriting in real-time, digitize notes to an app, and act as a brainstorming tool for users who prefer fewer screens. The pen form factor may be more accessible than lapel pins such as the discontinued Humane AI pin. Packing sensors, microphones, cameras, and processing into a small pen raises engineering and privacy considerations but could broaden consumer appeal if executed well.
