Online reports that OpenAI has acquired startup Software Applications, which has developed an application that provides an AI-driven user interface for Mac desktops. Software Applications was founded in 2023 by a group of former Apple employees, some of whom had been involved in the development of the iPhone's "shortcut command" application technology. OpenAI plans to integrate the startup's technology into ChatGPT and absorb its entire team of about 12 people. Software Applications previously raised $6.5 million from a group of well-known investors, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Figma CEO Dylan Field. Earlier this year, Software Applications released Sky, an AI assistant designed to help users perform actions or answer questions. This feature includes a floating interface that can understand what is on the user's screen. Sky has not yet been made public.
