Q.ai

Apple has reportedly acquired Israeli AI startup Q.ai, signaling a strategic move into audio-focused artificial intelligence. This acquisition, led by CEO Aviad Maizels, whose previous venture PrimeSense was acquired by Apple, could enhance Apple’s existing audio features and accelerate its AI roadmap. The move aligns with investor calls for more substantial AI acquisitions and complements Apple’s ongoing development of features like “Apple Intelligence” and an enhanced Siri.
