Apple News Recommendations
This one is of course the most obvious fit for Laserlike. The company previously had published an award-winning smartphone app that was specifically designed to let users search out and follow news, music, and sports topics. Laserlike described its app as using AI to provide “an amazing personalized lens of the world’s firehose of information.”
With Apple on the cusp of launching a premium news and magazine subscription service, the ability to use Laserlike’s technology for an AI-based content search and recommendations engine seems like natural synergy. Although Apple has traditionally focused on human-curated news — and will probably continue to do so in terms of what’s generally recommended and fronted on its News service — more advanced AI would be invaluable in providing a much more personalized experience for Apple News, which presently relies on a fairly simplistic scoring engine.
