OpenAI's Sam Altman and Apple's former design chief Jony Ive have formed a new company called io, which will combine OpenAI and LoveFrom to introduce AI products by 2026.
Hints about io's first AI product include deep integration with ChatGPT, emphasis on AI as a friendly companion, the device not being a phone but similar to a smartphone, and a functional prototype already in use by tech leaders in San Francisco.
The focus is on making AI user-friendly and familiar, aiming to change how we interact with technology, with the first product set to launch in 2026.
The details about io's first AI product remain mostly undisclosed, but the company is already generating anticipation for its upcoming release next year.
