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.
Software Applications was founded in 2023, and the company unveiled Sky in May. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman contributed to the startup’s $6.5 million seed funding round, according to its website.
OpenAI has been on a dealmaking blitz in recent months. The company bought Statsig, a product development startup, for $1.1 billion in September, after purchasing Jony Ive’s AI devices startup io for more than $6 billion in May.
Turley and Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s CEO of applications, led the Software Applications acquisition, the blog post said.
