Former Apple 'Quick Commands' team returns: Injecting more humanity into AI and reshaping the way we work

IT House reported on December 1 that according to foreign technology media The Verge, three former Apple employees are working on a new project, plans to make AI more humane, and hopes to use generative AI to re- Imagine how a desktop computer works.

The three employees partnered to create a startup called Software Applications Incorporated, with Ari Weinstein as CEO.

Together with the company’s co-founder and chief technology officer Conrad Kramer, he created the iOS automation application Workflow, which was acquired by Apple in 2017, also known as Apple’s “Quick Commands” prototype.

This company also has an employee named Kim Beverett, who has worked at Apple for 10 years and also gave a speech at the WWDC 2023 conference. She previously managed and oversaw the Safari, Messages, FaceTime and User Privacy teams

Kim Beverette resigned from Apple in July this year due to dissatisfaction with Apple’s remote working strategy and many other factors.

IT House has translated Weinstein’s views, the content is as follows:

We founded the company because we were excited about the changes happening in generative artificial intelligence, and we were also delighted to be able to work together again. We love the open and innovative environment of startups

We can see that the average user interaction time on mobile devices is usually calculated in seconds, while on desktop computers it is calculated in minutes or hours. Therefore, if we can optimize the user's experience on the desktop and save their time, this is very attractive to us
