Nothing has introduced Playground, an AI-driven tool designed to help users create mini apps like flight trackers and virtual pets using text prompts. These widgets can be integrated into Nothing's Essential Apps platform, although full-screen app support is currently unavailable due to technical constraints. CEO Carl Pei highlighted the potential of AI to enhance personalization in operating systems, addressing the industry's slow pace of software innovation. Despite security concerns, Nothing plans to foster a community around Playground without immediate monetization strategies. The launch follows a recent $200 million funding round led by Tiger Global.
