i love so much of this but this anecdote is my fav: Then, one rainy afternoon, my friend Devin decided to play a prank on me. During one of my more tedious monologues about user privacy, he took my phone from my hand and shot off a quick text to my Dot. "I'm Devin, Jason's
I'm starting a new company to go all in on Social Intelligence. This is a deeply personal mission to me, one that feels like the inevitable culmination of everything I've ever worked on. I wrote a manifesto about why:

feel so lucky that i got to design Sky with alice as my sounding board at every step of the way :)
Looove to see this! Huge congrats to @arix, @iamkim, @conradev + whole team! So proud of @supercgeek for bringing this vision to life through beautiful design. Being an early user from when Sky was a baby, I've also learned so much..feels like sending your baby off to school 🥹

Working on the Fog material of @skybysoftware with @supercgeek has been a true highlight. The material is profoundly fresh yet feels unmistakably Mac. It's never been done before yet it doesn't overwhelm. Balancing usability, visuals, and performance took time, and I'm proud of

A good friend of mine is sending me Sky feedback in the form of vulgar Veo 3 news anchor clips

it’s worth noting all the use-cases in the video were recorded from a real build of Sky using real language models! Sky isn’t done yet but it's not movie magic either. This is @iamkim and @AriX recording the in game footage last week:
@jacksondahl @AriX @conradev The video isn't the impressive part. It's a red herring. You need to read the story too:

@SoftwareAppsInc also credit due is to the inimitable @tmthyluke and @john_c_palmer from @areatechnology_ for designing our app icon, logo and coming up with the name "Sky" itself!

@SoftwareAppsInc one of the core design ideas behind Sky was to create an interface that could float on top of your apps without getting in the way. this idea motivated us to conceive of a window appearance without traditional boundaries that automatically resizes itself to minimize its footprint

something new i’ve been designing @softwareappsinc — halfway between chat and assistant there is Sky. my favorite feature is the Skyshot: just press both ⌘ keys simultaneously to get help with anything on your screen

I love that Jason told his own story to launch Dot. Unfortunately I don’t have any zombie village photos of Jason 🤣
here’s a glimpse into just how much dot has changed me and the course of my life in just one year https://t.co/iTWSa0lDPv

I worked on App Intents & Shortcuts for yrs and tried to explain these concepts countless times (incld. at WWDC twice). Ray’s talk is the easiest to understand by far — worth a watch if you’re interested in designing great building blocks for Apple Intelligence.
I made a WWDC talk on how to design App Intents, which power system experiences including Siri, Search, Shortcuts, Action button, Controls, Widgets, and more. Check it out: https://t.co/9HB54TwRIo

Cameron (@supercgeek) and I share a sacred tradition of inserting cameos of each other in the demos we make
