**Short answer:** this tracker holds {{< launch-stat "n" >}} AI devices that their makers announced between {{< launch-stat "first" >}} and {{< launch-stat "latest" >}}. {{< launch-stat "available" >}} of them have a stated availability date. Every row links to the maker's own announcement, including [Apple's HomeView newsroom post](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/10/meet-apple-homeview-a-new-way-to-enjoy-entertainment-and-manage-the-home/) and [Meta's Connect 2026 recap](https://www.meta.com/blog/meta-connect-2026-everything-we-announced/).

*Last updated {{< launch-stat "checked" >}} (Pacific time). The tracker is small on purpose: it only holds rows I have read at the maker's own page. It is a start, not a count of every 2026 launch.*

## Which AI devices launched recently?

Newest announcement first. The price is the maker's stated launch price in US dollars, and "not stated" means the announcement gave none. Each claim is the maker's own wording and has not been tested by me.

## How long did devices take to reach buyers after the announcement?

Only rows with an availability date appear here, and an average appears only when there are at least five such rows. Several Amazon devices were available the day they were announced, while Apple's HomeView took about a month between preorder and availability.

## What do makers claim their AI does?

The last column of the first table lists each maker's own words, in quotation marks. Amazon describes its new Echo devices as running on "Alexa+", Apple describes HomeView around "Siri AI", and Bee describes summaries and reminders. These are product claims, and a claim is not a test result. I have not used these devices, so for how I treat devices I have not used, read [how I evaluate products](/ai-life/how-i-evaluate/). My own owner reviews of related products are the [Echo owner review](/ai-life/assistants/smart-speakers/amazon-echo-alexa-plus-owner-review/) and the [Apple HomePod owner review](/ai-life/assistants/smart-speakers/apple-homepod-owner-review/).

## How was this tracker built?

- **Sources.** The maker's own newsroom or product announcement. I opened each linked page and read the date, the price and the availability statement. Third-party coverage is never the source of a field.
- **Fields.** Announcement date, availability date, launch price, status and one maker claim. A field the maker does not state is left empty.
- **What is left out.** Leaks, rumors, unannounced products, retailer-only listings, software updates and anything where the maker's own page was not available to me.
- **Updates.** Rows are added when I read a new announcement. The Last updated line shows the day the table was last checked, and the CSV has every row.
- **Limits.** {{< launch-stat "n" >}} rows is a small sample. It starts on {{< launch-stat "first" >}}, so it says nothing about earlier 2026 launches yet, and I will not call it a market overview.

For prices after launch, see the [AI Gadget Price Index](/ai-life/data/price-index/). For reviews of devices already on the market, start at [AI Life](/ai-life/).
