Today on the AI chat podcast, I want to talk about a really big acquisition that just happened

0:06.8

with OpenAI.

0:08.4

They've acquired a company called Sky.

0:10.8

This is an AI interface for Mac company, which is really interesting because right now we

0:15.5

have a brand new product from Open AI, which is their agent running in their Atlas browser.

0:21.6

And essentially, it's taking action for you. It's doing a whole bunch of stuff. And it feels like this acquisition

0:25.2

of Sky is trying to do something very similar. But there's a whole bunch of kind of weird

0:31.0

backstory to this company where Sam Altman actually owns shares in the company. So he technically

0:36.3

would be getting compensated for this. The company doesn't have a live product. No one's actually tried it. There's a bunch of weird stuff that I'm going to be getting into on this show today. But before I do, I wanted to mention that if you want to get access to the top 20 different AI models, I talk about all the time on this show, in one place for 20 bucks a month, I would love for you to try out my startup, which is AIbox.a.I. We have a playground on here where you get all of the top AI tools, Anthropics, you know, you get opus, you get Sonnet, you get everything from Open AI. You also get perplexity models and you get GROC from XAI and you get a bunch of good

image models. And of course, if you want to do audio, you have 11 lab. So all of that's 20 bucks a

month on one platform. If you don't want to have to pay subscriptions for, you know,

1:21.6

dozens of different services and platforms, go check out AIbox.a.all right, let's get into

1:27.1

this acquisition from OpenAI of Sky.

1:31.7

So opening, I put out a big blog post detailing essentially what they were doing here.

1:37.7

Notably, I don't know if this is on purpose, but in all their blog posts, they always have m-dashes,

1:41.2

which makes you feel like they use chat chip to write them but

1:44.8

you know that this is probably irrelevant uh this is what the opening statement of the blog

1:48.9

post said then i'll get into the acquisition of it they said AI progress isn't only about

1:52.9

advancing advancing intelligence it's about unlocking it through interfaces that understand

1:57.1

context adapt to your intent and work seamlessly that's why we're excited to share the opening I has acquired, you know, Sky, basically.

2:04.2

You know, it's called Software Applications Incorporated.

2:07.2

Very generic, but it's basically the company makes Sky.
