OpenAI has acquired Software Applications Incorporated, makers of Sky, which was recently founded by the team behind Workflow, which Apple acquired to create Shortcuts.
Sky is a powerful natural language interface for the Mac. With Sky, AI works alongside you, whether you’re writing, planning, coding, or managing your day. Sky understands what’s on your screen and can take action using your apps.
OpenAI plans to bring Sky’s deep macOS integration and product craft into ChatGPT, and all members of the team will join OpenAI.
“We’re building a future where ChatGPT doesn’t just respond to your prompts, it helps you get things done. Sky’s deep integration with the Mac accelerates our vision of bringing AI directly into the tools people use every day,” Nick Turley, VP & Head of ChatGPT, said in a statement.
“We’ve always wanted computers to be more empowering, customizable, and intuitive. With LLMs, we can finally put the pieces together. That’s why we built Sky, an AI experience that floats over your desktop to help you think and create. We’re thrilled to join OpenAI to bring that vision to hundreds of millions of people,” Ari Weinstein, Co-Founder and CEO, Software Applications Incorporated, said in a statement.
