    The Alexa Skills revolution that wasn’t

    Ten years ago, Amazon imagined a future beyond apps — and it had the idea basically right. But the perfect ambient computer remains frustratingly far away.

    One of my favorite read-later apps is shutting down.

    I’ve recommended Omnivore a lot to people looking for a place to save articles, PDFs, and other stuff to read later. Now the app’s going away, since Omnivore has been acquired by ElevenLabs. And PSA: you only have about two weeks to export your data before Omnivore goes away.

    If you’re looking for alternatives, we have a great roundup of the options. Personally I’m a Readwise Reader user, though it is too expensive.

    Humane is pulling a Windows. Or maybe a BlackBerry.

    Humane’s co-founders have long said their operating system, CosmOS, is ultimately a bigger deal than the AI Pin. (Which is... not saying much.) Now they’re showing off someone else’s gadget running their software:

    I saw demos of CosmOS performing AI Pin-like functions while operating inside a car’s dashboard. You could interact with the car’s dashboard by talking to it—call up your calendar, get directions, and update your next appointment for any delays.

    If this goes great, it’s Alexa or Windows. If it goes badly: did you know BlackBerry now makes infotainment systems?

    Humane bets others need its AIOS
