OpenAI Makes Triple Hire in One Day: Linear Product Lead and Kairos Co-Founders Join Codex and ChatGPT
OpenAI has made a triple hire in a single day, bringing all three people into its Codex and ChatGPT teams. Nan Yu, product lead at Linear, announced he is joining OpenAI, ending his four-year tenure at the company. Shortly afterward, Kairos Computer co-founders Manas Bam and Samarth Patel also announced they are joining OpenAI, with the same destination: Codex and ChatGPT. Kairos is building a personal agent that can operate a computer directly. The approach gives the agent a cloud-based computer, allowing it to log into websites on its own, operate browsers and software, and complete tasks across different applications. According to the two co-founders, when they founded Kairos, their goal was to create "personal AGI for everyone." They now plan to continue pursuing that goal at OpenAI, where all three new hires will be assigned to the company's Codex and ChatGPT projects.
