Why it matters
Energy is a bet that the next large AI company can be built around user workflow and distribution, while model providers supply the underlying intelligence.

Gabriel Petersson (@gabriel1), a former OpenAI researcher credited on Sora 2, launched Energy in a thread on X on August 6th. Petersson is pitching Energy as an AI desktop app that can compress days of computer work into hours and make agent-driven workflows accessible beyond software development. Energy's website describes the product as a way to "work at the speed of thought."
