"The bold proclamation of an AI-native OS centers on the launch of Essential, which Nothing says brings us closer to a world "where devices adapt to people, not the other way around." In plain speak, Essential is Nothing's "name for all our AI-related products," founder and CEO Carl Pei tells The Verge. Despite the London startup claiming to be unveiling Essential today, the line actually has several products live already, including an AI search tool and Essential Space, which organizes voice notes and images."
"Nothing says it has just taken "the first step towards an AI-native operating system." Not exactly. Playground, Nothing's new app store filled with user-designed, AI-generated apps, is neither Nothing's first step, nor is it an operating system - it's built on Android. But the idea lands, and beneath the hype, it is genuinely exciting - a glimpse of smartphones that feel more personal and adaptable, with a clear vision for where this might go in the future."
Nothing launched Playground, an Android-based app store for user-designed, AI-generated apps called Essential Apps. Essential is the brand for Nothing's AI-related products and already includes several live features, including an AI search tool and Essential Space for organizing voice notes and images. The company framed the move as a step toward an AI-native operating system, but Playground itself runs on Android rather than replacing the OS. Playground aims to make smartphones feel more personal and adaptable by offering apps that leverage generative AI and user customization, suggesting a broader vision for AI-integrated mobile experiences.
