Sources tell Efrati that the company is building a voice-activated device powered through its virtual assistant, Siri, that could let people ask questions or complete activities like setting a timer.
The market for such home appliances, powered by artificially intelligence-enabled virtual assistants is heating up.
Amazon's Echo has been a surprise hit for the company and Google just announced its own plans last week to make a similar gadget called Home.
At the same time, Apple is reportedly also preparing to start let outside developers make their services available through Siri.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
