The progress of artificial intelligence (AI) is not solely about enhancing intelligence; it's also about unlocking that intelligence through innovative interfaces. These interfaces are designed to understand context, adapt to user intent, and operate seamlessly. This is why we are thrilled to announce that OpenAI has officially acquired Software Applications Incorporated, the creators behind the powerful AI tool, Sky.
Sky is a sophisticated natural language interface designed specifically for macOS. This tool empowers users by integrating AI directly into their daily tasks, whether it involves writing, planning, coding, or organizing one’s schedule. With Sky, the AI can interpret what's displayed on your screen and execute actions within your applications, significantly enhancing productivity.
As part of this acquisition, OpenAI plans to integrate Sky’s extensive macOS capabilities and product expertise into ChatGPT. All members of the Software Applications team will join OpenAI, contributing to our mission of creating a future where ChatGPT evolves beyond merely responding to prompts. Instead, it will actively assist users in accomplishing their tasks efficiently. Nick Turley, VP & Head of ChatGPT, stated, “Sky’s deep integration with the Mac accelerates our vision of bringing AI directly into the tools people use every day.”
Ari Weinstein, Co-Founder and CEO of Software Applications Incorporated, expressed excitement about the merger, stating, “We’ve always wanted computers to be more empowering, customizable, and intuitive. With large language models (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.”
As OpenAI embarks on the integration of Sky's advanced features, we encourage you to stay tuned for more updates. This acquisition not only signifies a step forward in AI technology but also a commitment to enhancing user experience through intuitive and adaptive interfaces. We are excited about the potential to bring this revolutionary AI tool to hundreds of millions of users worldwide.
