OpenAI on Thursday announced it has acquired Software Applications Incorporated, a small company that built an artificial intelligence interface for Apple
computers.
All 12 members of the Software Applications team will join OpenAI, according to a spokesperson. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
The startup’s product called Sky allows users of Mac computers to prompt it with natural language to get help with writing, coding, planning and managing their days, OpenAI said in a blog post. Sky can take actions through apps and understands what’s on a user’s screen.
“Sky’s deep integration with the Mac accelerates our vision of bringing AI directly into the tools people use every day,” Nick Turley, the head of ChatGPT at OpenAI, said in a statement.
