The start-up Signull Labs, founded by Nirav Savjani, formerly of Google and Meta, is developing Skye, an application currently in private testing that offers a form of ambient intelligence directly integrated into the widgets of the iOS home screen. Among the functions announced: personalized weather, assisted writing of emails, automatic preparation of meetings and detection of suspicious bank charges.
