Sam Altman and Jony Ive’s first product together will solve the biggest issues for students, creators

OpenAI is working on a smart pen of an entirely new kind that could make the lives of creators and students a lot easier. The company is reportedly venturing into consumer hardware with its first dedicated device – an AI-integrated smart pen codenamed Gumdrop. The ambitious project, developed in close collaboration with renowned designer Jony Ive — former chief design officer at Apple — seeks to reimagine traditional note-taking by combining physical writing with powerful AI processing capabilities.
