Nothing is not creating a new OS but is developing an AI-powered interface and app ecosystem called Essential, with Playground serving as an app store for user-designed, AI-generated apps on Android devices. While still in early stages, this approach aims to make smartphones more personalized and adaptive, though it remains built on Android and not a standalone OS. The initiative hints at a future where phones could proactively suggest and change apps based on user behavior, fostering a new creator economy, but significant development is still needed.
