Essential Search had its debut with the launch of the Phone (3), introducing a native, AI-powered search within the familiar context of the app drawer and dock.

After exhausting local search matches, we offer the option to skip traditional web search and instead deliver a concise, mobile-friendly answer for our users.

For the launch of the Phone (2a), I was responsible for training a custom fine-tune of a local image model to explore possible directions within a controlled creative scope.

What if you could be matched with a one-of-a-kind assistant, personalized to you, after a short, conversational onboarding? More than 10 years after Her, we presented Nothing’s take on this idea in a public demo.

I was responsible for implementing the interaction and animation logic for how the eyes behave as the voice assistant listens and responds.
