A mysterious AI device is coming"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last Wednesday, the transaction between OpenAI and the startup io <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/sam-and-jony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:#82D65E\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-color\">was officially confirmed<\/mark><\/a>. This marks the beginning of Hera, a project that had been shrouded in mystery until now.\u00a0<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A device that is neither a phone nor a laptop<\/strong><\/h4><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OpenAI representatives emphasized that the device they&#8217;ve worked on as part of the project aims to be completely different to the smart devices we&#8217;ve been used to. Its goal isn&#8217;t to compete with iPhones or MacBooks, but open up a whole new category \u2014 a personal AI companion that works in the background and doesn&#8217;t distract the user.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new device is supposed to be aware of the context, reacting to the user&#8217;s voice and gestures. However, subtlety is meant to be its most characteristic feature \u2014 the point is for it to be as natural as possible and integrated with everyday life.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dream team from Silicon Valley<\/strong><\/h4><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jony Ive \u2014 former Apple designer, author of icons such as iPhone, iMac or iPod, widely considered as the creator of the most beautiful devices in the company&#8217;s history, is the mind behind the design.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sam Altman and his team are working on the technological layer, while Adam Cheyer (one of Siri&#8217;s parents) focuses on developing the conversational interface.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to unofficial information, the first prototypes are already in the testing phase. While no details have been revealed yet regarding the device&#8217;s appearance or specs, there is one thing we do know \u2014 it&#8217;s not just another gadget, but a redefinition of what could be personal technology in the AI era.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What will emerge from the combination of Ive&#8217;s craftmanship, Altman&#8217;s technological infrastructure and Cheyer&#8217;s unique conversational interface?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":354,"featured_media":12448,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rank_math_lock_modified_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"popular":[],"difficulty-level":[],"ppma_author":[776],"class_list":["post-12549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"authors":[{"term_id":776,"user_id":354,"is_guest":0,"slug":"redakcja","display_name":"Redakcja","avatar_url":{"url":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Zrzut-ekranu-2025-07-10-o-16.00.36.png","url2x":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Zrzut-ekranu-2025-07-10-o-16.00.36.png"},"first_name":"","last_name":"","user_url":"","job_title":"","description":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/354"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12549"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12550,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12549\/revisions\/12550"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12549"},{"taxonomy":"popular","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/popular?post=12549"},{"taxonomy":"difficulty-level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/difficulty-level?post=12549"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/haimagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=12549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
