New ‘HomePad’ launch in spring corroborated by The Information »

According to a new report, the long-rumored "HomePad" is finally coming this spring – and I think it runs on Interactive Snippets.

From Wayne Ma and Qianer Liu’s report at The Information, quoted by Ryan Christoffel of 9to5Mac:

Apple is also working on a home product featuring a small display, speakers and a robotic swiveling base, designed with a heavy emphasis on AI features. That device could be released as soon as this spring, according to two of the people.

At this point, I am convinced this device will run on App Intents using Interactive Snippets.
