OPENAI x HARDWARE • CONCEPT 2025
The future of AI & hardware
OVERVIEW
What should OpenAI build as their first AI device?
As a team of 3 product designers, our goal was to land on a clear vision within 7 weeks.
Apple and Google are building their own consumer AI ecosystems, but with the advantage of being able to control the entire stack.
However, OpenAI is currently dominating consumer AI, and Apple has recently dropped the ball on their Apple Intelligence integrations. This creates an opportunity for OpenAI to build an AI device and capture consumers in their own ecosystem.
OPPORTUNITY
Memory as the core of OpenAI’s device ecosystem.
Memory should be OpenAI’s new moat. LLMs are becoming commoditized, but personalization and context are the new differentiators. With hardware, OpenAI will benefit from:
SOLUTION
Tomo: the AI device that remembers so you don’t have to...
A pin and pendant wearable, serving as a camera and microphone on-the-go.
...powering Moments, logging memories in your everyday life in ChatGPT.
Moments is a new atomic unit in ChatGPT, logging all the events, conversations, and solo adventures captured with Tomo.
CORE FLOWS
Memory as the core of OpenAI’s device ecosystem.
A pin and pendant wearable, serving as a camera and microphone on-the-go.
Chat with real-time context
ChatGPT can now respond to you with understanding of your real life.
RESEARCH
Researching the AI landscape and current devices on the market
We went deep into understanding OpenAI, and the world of consumer AI, agents, trends, and more. We researched existing devices and tried some out ourselves!
DESIGNING FOR HARDWARE CONSTRAINTS
Proposed solution
To address these challenges, we will implement a comprehensive project management overhaul. We'll introduce a task assignment system, enhance communication channels, and establish a clear file organization structure. A centralized hub will provide easy access to vital data, improving decision-making and evaluation. We'll also create standardized project update and performance metric documentation. This holistic solution will streamline processes, reduce stress, and elevate work quality, enabling us to better meet client expectations and support our business growth.
