Essential turns foundational AI into hyper-personalised experiences that help in daily life, as per the company.

F-Droid says Google's developer registration rule could end its open-source app store and strand users. Google defends verification as a security step.

These Essential Apps, available via a new platform called Playground, are the first steps toward 'a new kind of AI-native operating system,' Nothing says.

Nothing is making big promises about its AI future, with the eventual "Essential OS" being preceded by an AI app generator.

Nothing has unveiled a new system that allows users to create personalised mobile applications using natural language, with the long-term goal of developing a fully AI-native operating system.

The new features, Playground and Essential Apps, are said to be Nothing's first step toward building an AI-focused operating system.
