Blue
Summer 2025The first voice assistant that can control every app on your iPhone
About Company
Blue is the first voice assistant on iOS and Android that can control every app on your phone, so you can get work done hands-free. It reads and replies to messages and email across apps, attaches photos and files, books and pays, manages calendar items, and more. Unlike assistants that stop at answers or timers, Blue taps, types, and swipes inside your existing apps with no app-specific integrations. On iPhone, a tiny USB-C plug-in (“Bud”) provides precise input control so Blue can act on your behalf. (Android support is in testing.) Blue is already in real-world use: people are clearing inboxes, paying bills from email, sharing files, and moving through routine flows while their hands are busy. The team brings complementary experience at scale: Omar Abdelaziz led Google Assistant’s transition to LLMs and holds one of earliest patents in LLM-based computer control; Peter Krogh spent decades designing voice-first dialog systems and was most recently a design lead at Google DeepMind building actions for Gemini Live; Muhammad Farhan Hossain helped ship Apple Vision Pro, is named on dozens of hardware/systems patents, and has led products from prototype to mass production. We’ve built systems used by billions. Now we’re on to defining the next era of computing.
Active Founders
I've spent more than a half-decade leading teams on Google Assistant and at Scale AI, and hold one of the world's first patents in LLM-based computer-use. Now, I'm on to defining the next era of computing, starting with a 100x more powerful voice assistant.
I’m a robotics and product design engineer focused on building thoughtful tools for the world. I hold dozens of patents in hardware and manufacturing, and I care deeply about how things are made and who they’re made for. For over a decade, I’ve worked across robotics, wearables, and consumer electronics. As one of the first engineers on the Apple Vision Pro, I took it from concept to mass production.
I teach computers how to talk. For 20 years this was primarily a deterministic process of design/engineer/tune, but with the arrival of LLMs it now looks more like show/convince/tune. AI is weird, but if it can't be taught how to have a normal spoken conversation with a person, it's not going to work. This is what I work on.
