Q.ai -- Startup Acquired By Apple -- February 8, 2026

Locator: 49931APPLE.

From an earlier post, for those who missed it:

Apple is acquiring startup Q.AI (Q.ai) -- (correct spelling is the "median dot and no space): 

  • announced just before they announced earnings. 
  • an Israeli firm; also here;
  • $2 billion (a rounding error for Apple)
  • Q.AI: can read facial skin micro-movements
  • could be used to help Apple have non-verbal discussions with an AI assistant
