    Mistlabs launches Ambi ambient AI app for Apple devices

    Mistlabs launched Ambi, an AI app that listens and organizes context to offer proactive suggestions on compatible Apple devices. The company says recordings are not stored by default. Its proposed wearable and agent-to-agent communication are future plans, not features in the available app; users should verify recording permissions and consent before capturing other people.
