Apple Signs Hiring and Licensing Deal With AI Podcast Startup Huxe

Apple has reached an agreement to recruit employees from Huxe and license the AI audio startup's technology, according to a new European Commission filing.


The filing says Apple will have the right to make employment offers to certain Huxe employees and receive a non-exclusive license to the company's intellectual property, so this isn't an outright acquisition of the company.

Huxe was founded by former Google NotebookLM team members Raiza Martin, Jason Spielman, and Stephen Hughes. NotebookLM – since renamed Gemini Notebook – is Google's AI research tool, which is best known for its ability to turn documents and other source material into podcast-style audio discussions.

Huxe brought a similar approach to personalized listening, given that its app generated audio briefings based on users' emails, calendars, and interests, as well as podcasts about topics they wanted to explore. Listeners could interrupt the AI hosts to ask questions or request a different explanation.

The startup announced in May that it was winding down, and said its team was moving on and that development would stop. Its audio service ended on May 28. Apple notified the Commission of the arrangement on June 9.

The filing does not say which employees Apple could recruit, nor does it confirm whether anyone has actually been hired.

PoseKit – 3D-Modelle für Screenshots aus neuen Perspektiven

Wie viele Mockup–Apps für gerahmte Screenshots kann man besitzen? Die Antwort lautet wie immer: „Ja.“

Three iPhone screens displaying video editing software with different preview windows: the left shows a rotated perspective of coffee cups on a tray, the center shows a phone screen with highlighted text, and the right shows a map application on a phone.

PoseKit ist eine Geschwister-App von ByePhotos und befreit eure Bildschirmfotos aus ihrer immer gleichen Frontalperspektive. Sogar kurze Kamerafahrten sind im 15-Euro-Einmalpreis inbegriffen.

Eine optionale Objektivunschärfe rückt Details in den Fokus, die man explizit, aber unaufdringlich hervorheben will.

Ich bin ein großer Fan der Positionssteuerung. Anstatt das 3D-Modell lediglich ungenau mit den Patschehändchen innerhalb des Frames zu verschieben, nutzt man präzise Schieberegler. Andere Apps schauen sich diese Idee bitte ab!

Die Grafiken, die mit nur wenigen Gesten entstehen, sind nicht komplett neu. Diese Posen jedoch mit lediglich zwei Handgriffen direkt am Telefon zu erstellen, ist für alle, die Software zeigen oder präsentieren, ein echtes Geschenk.
