Highlight by Medal is changing the game in AI assistance, offering developers a new way to create custom solutions on existing AI models while giving users access to a wider range of AI features. With a recent funding round of $13 million, Highlight is set to make a significant impact in the tech world.

Highlight, the latest innovation from Medal, the creators of the popular MedalTV clipping app, is making waves with its AI assistant platform. This groundbreaking technology aims to transform how users interact with AI models, providing a seamless experience that eliminates the need for complex prompts.

The platform, described as a "capture-based interface and runtime for assistants," is designed to make AI more accessible to billions of users. With features like seamless integration with Windows and MacOS, the ability to publish web apps as natively running assistants in under a minute, and contextual capture technology for enhanced AI interactions, Highlight is set to revolutionize the way we use AI.

According to Pim de Witte, CEO and co-founder of Highlight, "Capture is the next OS." Highlight's vision is to become the routing layer for all tasks on the OS, connecting users with assistants, models, interfaces, and even other people. With a team of top industry talent and a strong foundation in the consumer space, Highlight is poised to become the fastest-growing AI assistant on desktop within a year.

Highlight is built on Medal's industry-leading screen capture and process detection layer technology, which is currently used by more than four million gamers per month. The platform continuously captures what's on a computer screen locally, allowing users to choose from various AI apps to meet their specific needs. With a focus on user privacy through opt-in requirements, Highlight ensures that user data is protected.

In a landscape where Big Tech controls AI developments and user data, Highlight stands out by democratizing the AI model landscape and promoting market competition. Unlike competitors who use user data to improve models, Highlight operates on a local model, ensuring that user data stays on their device unless permission is granted. This approach gives users and developers maximum control over their data.

To further build Highlight's ecosystem, the company is offering grants of up to $30,000 for developers, along with access to the Highlight team and office space at their New York office. With Highlight officially available for download, developers can join the movement to revolutionize AI assistance.

Highlight by Medal is not just a game-changer in the world of AI assistance—it's a revolution. With its innovative approach to AI accessibility and commitment to user privacy, Highlight is set to reshape the way we interact with AI models.
