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.

The company’s new social media app allows users to create short videos with audio from text prompts and insert themselves in AI-generated scenes.

Nothing on Monday revealed Playground, an AI tool that lets users create apps with simple text prompts and deploy them to a platform of sorts known as Essential Apps.

Nothing’s Essential AI platform lets users create and share mobile apps just by describing ideas in natural language. They can also remix and share them freely.
