Dev Kit Prelaunch Preview
The future of voice-enabled technology isn’t just about giving commands—it’s about bringing your ideas to life in a way that feels natural, intuitive, and beautifully integrated across devices. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the OpenHome Dev Kit, our upcoming early access hardware platform designed to help developers, makers, and innovators build their very own AI-powered smart speakers. With this kit, you can seamlessly integrate unique OpenHome personalities into websites, apps, and now even physical devices.
What is the OpenHome Dev Kit?
The OpenHome Dev Kit is your gateway to creating a custom smart speaker experience. Valued at around $200, this package allows you to take any Bluetooth-connected speaker and transform it into a fully interactive, voice-driven AI assistant. You’ll be able to bring your original OpenHome personalities—whether it’s a helpful home companion, a creative collaborator, or a storytelling ally—to life in the physical world. Speak to your personality out loud, and watch it respond, assist, and engage in real-time.
The best part? We’re offering early access at no cost for accepted applicants. In return, we’d love to hear your feedback on the setup process, user experience, and the possibilities you see for this technology.
What’s Inside the Box?
While the exact specifications will be shared closer to launch, here’s what to expect:
Computing Base: A Lynx-based computing module fully integrated with the OpenHome ecosystem.
Microphone & Speaker: Components for seamless voice interactions.
Instant AI-Powered Audio: Instantly upgrade any Bluetooth speaker to a voice-enabled, OpenHome-powered device.
We’re looking for forward-thinkers who are ready to test out new use cases. Whether you’re prototyping a hands-free in-car assistant, creating a child-friendly AI playmate, exploring healthcare applications, or building a new category of AI-driven experiences—your insights will help shape the final product.
And that’s not all: early participants will be at the front of the line for our upcoming developer grant program. Your involvement in these early stages could lead to future funding opportunities that align with our vision for a dynamic, AI-infused community.
When’s It Coming?
We’re aiming for an early 2025 release for the OpenHome Dev Kit. As we get closer, we’ll share more specifics about timelines, improvements, and additional features.
