The one place AI has yet to infiltrate is the home. Google are best placed to launch some sort of Gemini speaker-device but are dragging their feet.

It could be that they are developing a product of their own, designed to position ChatGPT at the centre of your household. That's the sort of thing you get Jony Ive in to design.

It already plugs into so many other services that getting it up and running would be quite easy and a small plugin would allow developers to do the same.

They can infiltrate phones really easily so a portable device makes no sense.
