OpenAI Acquires Multi to Enhance AI-Powered Collaboration

The acquisition aims to integrate advanced screensharing and remote management features into ChatGPT's desktop app.

OpenAI has acquired Multi, a startup specializing in screensharing and collaboration tools for software engineering teams.
Multi's technology allows for shared cursors and simultaneous screensharing with up to 10 people, enhancing collaborative efforts.
Speculation suggests that Multi's features could enable ChatGPT to perform tasks like drawing on screens or editing code remotely.
The acquisition aligns with OpenAI's broader strategy to integrate AI more deeply into PC operating systems.
Multi's current app will be discontinued, with all user data deleted by July 24, 2024.
