About Io
Io develops AI-powered devices that reimagine how users interact with technology, moving beyond traditional smartphones and screens. In May 2025, OpenAI acquired io in a deal valued at approximately $6.5 billion, marking OpenAI's largest acquisition to date. The acquisition aims to integrate io's hardware design expertise with OpenAI's AI capabilities to create innovative consumer devices. While specific product details remain undisclosed, reports suggest the development of a pocket-sized, screen-free, contextually aware device that is not a phone or wearable glasses.
