Nothing Reveals an AI ‘Working System’
No, Nothing is not switching from Android to a customized AI-powered OS. Nevertheless, the phone brand introduced a brand new platform referred to as Important, which can lay the groundwork for a future through which customers generate their very own apps and consumer interface. We have heard these concepts earlier than, usually called generative user interfaces, and it is nonetheless early days for the know-how.
Nothing’s plan begins with two apps: Essential Apps and Playground. The previous enables you to create “apps” with pure language, although these are actually designed within the type of widgets. Simply describe what you want—seize all of the receipts in my digital camera roll and export a PDF each Friday—and this can be generated as a widget you possibly can work together with on the house display. The Nothing Cellphone (3) helps as much as six of those Important apps, however older Nothing gadgets are restricted to 2.
Playground is a spot the place you possibly can publish not simply your Important Apps but additionally different Nothing oddities, like Glyph Toys from the Cellphone (3), digital camera presets, and EQ profiles. You’ll be able to obtain what the group has made and even “remix” them into your individual. Finally, these options will flip into what Nothing is looking Important OS, which it expects to debut in 2028. (Keep in mind the Essential Phone from 2017? Nothing purchased the company’s assets in 2021, and it looks like it was for the title.)
Nothing debuted a few of these AI options with the “Important” branding earlier this 12 months. Important Area is a brand new app that debuted on the Phone (3a), triggered by a devoted button; faucet it to seize your display and have AI pull insights and summarize the contents.

Scorching on the heels of Ultrahuman and Oura asserting that it is possible for you to to schedule and take blood labs with their providers, Whoop debuted Whoop Advanced Labs. Not solely are you able to add your preexisting blood work to the Whoop app, however you can even ebook blood testing via the app (like Oura, Whoop has partnered with Quest Diagnostics). Whoop’s providing is a little more costly, at $199 per check, $349 for 2 assessments per 12 months, or $599 for 4 assessments per 12 months, as in comparison with Oura’s $99 per check. Each purport to mix blood work outcomes with long-term steady monitoring with their respective trackers.
Labs are routine medical assessments that permit docs display issues corresponding to excessive ldl cholesterol, excessive blood glucose, and diabetes, or hormone or ferritin assessments to examine in case your thyroid is working otherwise you’re consuming sufficient iron. They are often costly, inconvenient to schedule and take, and pretty arcane to interpret, so it is smart that startups are beginning to supply them as a part of their subscription providers.
Nonetheless, it’s a tragic assertion on the present accessibility of well being care that routine medical providers are actually being funneled into income streams for personal corporations. As a lot as I just like the Oura Ring and the Whoop band, they’re not docs; they nonetheless can’t truly deal with you for a coronary heart assault or colon most cancers. —Adrienne So
