OpenAI has announced the acquisition of Multi, a desktop computer system designed to be inherently multiplayer, placing users on an equal footing with apps. However, this acquisition means the sunsetting of Multi, with new team signups closed and active teams able to use the app until July 24, 2024. After this date, all user data will be deleted, though extensions can be granted on a case-by-case basis. Users needing help or more time to find a replacement can email alexander@multi.app.
The Multi team has provided a FAQ section for users, detailing how to export session notes, delete data early, and request an extension for team usage. All user data will be deleted on July 24, 2024, unless an extension is requested. The team expressed gratitude to all users and excitement for future projects under OpenAI.
Key takeaways:

Active teams can use the app until July 24, 2024, after which all user data will be deleted.
