The Sky's the Limit: Apple's Loss Is OpenAI's Gain
Earlier this week, OpenAI acquired Software Applications Incorporated, the makers of Sky, an AI-powered automation tool for the Mac that Federico previewed in May. I’m still running Sky on my Mac and using it daily, although I expect that will come to an end sooner rather than later, given OpenAI’s promise of “more updates as we get to work integrating Sky’s capabilities.”
I’ll miss Sky when it goes. I’ve used the app since May, pausing only briefly when the macOS Tahoe betas broke it. Today, the app works great, integrating AI into my workflow in a practical way that is far easier than flipping back and forth to a chatbot.
