OpenAI acquires team behind Multi, formerly Remotion, startup focused on screensharing and collaboration
What is the role of Multi's technology in OpenAI's future plans?
Multi's technology, focused on screenshare and collaboration tools, could potentially enhance OpenAI's ChatGPT for desktop computers app, by enabling more advanced collaboration features and possibly allowing AI models to perform actions on a user's computer based on voice or text prompts. This acquisition aligns with OpenAI's recent investments in enterprise solutions.
What new feature did Multi add to its app a few months ago?
A few months ago, Multi added large language model (LLM)-powered summaries for shared work sessions and video calls between team members. This feature aimed to enhance collaboration and provide more context for users during their interactions.
How has Multi's product focus shifted since its inception?
Multi's product focus has shifted from a Zoom-style videoconferencing and desktop PC screensharing application to helping technical teams collaborate better, regardless of their location. The app was redesigned to emphasize screenshare of application windows on multiple desktop computers, allowing team members to operate in common, shared views across their desktop computers and even blend their distinct app views together into one shared view.
