OpenAI recently announced that it has successfully acquired the team behind the Mac platform AI language interface application Sky, Software Applications Incorporated (SAI). This move marks OpenAI's full acceleration in deeply integrating its flagship product, ChatGPT, into the daily workflows of Mac users.

OpenAI

Core Objective: Let AI Integrate Naturally into Mac Daily Life

The Sky application is known for its AI language interface for Mac, which has the ability to understand context, adapt to user actions, and work directly with other applications. ChatGPT CEO Nick Turley clearly stated that the goal of this acquisition is to allow ChatGPT to naturally integrate into the daily workflow of Mac, helping users complete tasks efficiently.

The entire Sky team will join OpenAI, focusing on deeper integration of its technology with Mac. This aligns closely with OpenAI's broader strategic initiatives to promote ChatGPT-driven automation.

Technical Background of the SAI Team and Transaction Details:

Notably, the acquired SAI team has a strong technical background. The company previously developed the well-known Workflow application, which was later acquired by Apple and renamed to the current Shortcuts (Shortcuts).

This acquisition has been approved by an independent board committee. It is understood that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously held passive shares in Sky through an investment company.
