the podcast just moved into the inbox. apple's acqui-hire of huxe, built by three ex-notebooklm engineers, turns your email and calendar into a daily ai audio brief, per the oct 10 dma filing.
the meeting recap is now a show you listen to.
Context
9to5Mac reports on Oct 9 that the EU Digital Markets Act transparency site lists Huxe as Apple's newest acqui-hire. Huxe was founded by former NotebookLM developers and made daily audio briefings from a user's email and calendar.
The Verge says the filing lets Apple hire employees and license IP from Huxe, and notes that Huxe had announced a shutdown in May.
The DMA filing, the NotebookLM founders and the email and calendar briefing match the sources. Coverage is dated Oct 9, not Oct 10. 'Three ex-NotebookLM engineers' matches 9to5Mac's three developers.
'The meeting recap is now a show you listen to' is the author's opinion.
