Short description: Brand of smart speakers by Baidu

Raven is a brand of smart speakers, developed by Chinese web services company Baidu. The devices connect to the voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant service DuerOS.[1] The products are a result of Baidu's acquisition of Raven Tech in February 2017.[2] The Raven H went on sale in December 2017, the first of three planned products under the brand.

In China, the device became available in December 2017 for RMB 1,699.[7]
