OpenAI has acquired early-stage AI startup Software Applications for an undisclosed amount.
The acquisition is the latest in the ChatGPT maker’s ongoing shopping spree, during which it has spent billions buying startups, big and small.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had previously invested in Software Applications personally alongside Context Ventures and Stellation Capital.
According to PitchBook data, the startup had only raised $6.5 million in a seed round in January 2023.
The startup has so far released Sky, an AI assistant for Mac computers. All 12 of the company’s staff will join OpenAI.
Software Applications now joins the ranks of companies like Statsig, Roi and Io products, all acquired by OpenAI within the last six months.
Earlier in October, the ChatGPT maker “acqui-hired” Roi, a personalized AI finance application.
OpenAI also made its two largest acquisitions this year. It purchased the product experimentation and analytics startup Statsig, and brought on its founder and CEO, Vijaye Raji, as CTO of applications for $1.1 billion.
It also paid $6.5 billion for Io Products, the AI hardware startup led by former Apple design exec Jony Ive.
