San Francisco: Amazon has quietly acquired audio content discovery engine Snackable AI to strengthen its podcast features for an undisclosed sum, the media reported.
The Snackable AI team joined Amazon Music to work on existing podcast projects.
Mari Joller, Founder and CEO of Snackable, is now working as an artificial intelligence and machine learning product leader at Amazon, reports The New York Post.
Founded in 2018, Snackable AI specialised in using AI to add structure and metadata to video and audio easily with AI-generated chapters, highlights and more.
Snackable will be working on podcast features offered through Amazon Music.
Prior to its acquisition by Amazon, Snackable had raised a total of $3.1 million from investors.
The deal came as Amazon and other Big Tech firms push to implement AI-driven features in their products in the ChatGPT era.
Inspired by the ChatGPT success, Amazon is now building a large language model (LLM) to power Alexa that’s much larger and much more “generalised and capable”, which is going to rapidly accelerate the vision of offering the world’s best personal assistant.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said that ChatGPT is a good example of an application that’s being built.
“We’ll build some of those applications ourselves. So for instance, we think one of the most compelling applications that are going to be built in generative AI have to do with making developers much more effective with coding assistance,” he noted during the company’s latest quarterly earnings call.
“I think there’s a significant business model underneath it,” he added.
“We’ve been investing in building our own large language models for several years, and we have a very large investment across the company,” said Jassy.

Microsoft Corp beat Wall Street’s quarterly revenue and profit estimates on Tuesday, driven by growth in its cloud computing and Office productivity software businesses, and the company said artificial intelligence products were stimulating sales.
The company forecast that revenue in its main segments for the current quarter would match or top Wall Street targets.
Shares gained 8.3% in after-market trading following a report by the Redmond, Washington-based technology company that profits were $2.45 a share in the fiscal third quarter, beating Wall Street estimates of $2.23, according to data from Refinitiv and up 10% from the same quarter last year.
In regular trading, fears about earnings had sent Microsoft down 2.2%, making it the biggest drag on the S&P 500 on Tuesday ahead of its report.
Revenue rose 7% to $52.9bn in the quarter ended March, inching past the average analyst estimate of $51.02bn, according to Refinitiv. The bulk of Microsoft sales still come from selling software and cloud computing services to customers.
But the company has grabbed headlines this year with its partnership with ChatGPT creator OpenAI and sprucing up the Bing search engine with artificial intelligence technology.
Microsoft said growth at its cloud business Azure was 27% in the latest reported quarter, beating analyst expectations for 26.6% growth, according to the consensus from 23 analysts polled by Visible Alpha.
Chief executive Satya Nadella told investors on a conference call that the company had more than 2,500 Azure-OpenAI service customers and AI-powered features in a wide array of products.
Bing, long an also-ran to search engine Google, has 100 million daily users and has seen downloads jump since the addition of AI features, Nadella said.
Microsoft forecast revenue in the intelligent cloud unit for the current quarter, the fiscal fourth, of $23.6-$23.9bn compared with Wall Street’s average target of $23.8bn, according to Refinitiv.
It saw revenue in the More Personal Computing segment of $13.35-$13.75bn, which would top Wall Street’s estimate of $13.2bn. The productivity and business processes unit, which includes Office, was seen producing revenue of $17.9-$18.2bn, which would beat the analysts’ average target of $17.8bn.
Analysts had expected a gloomy economic outlook to hit Microsoft’s Windows business, which depends heavily on PC sales that have sagged in recent quarters. The sales drop in the segment was less severe than analysts expected, with Microsoft reporting revenue of $13.3bn versus analyst estimates of $12.19bn, according to Refinitiv data.
The company’s productivity segment, which includes its Office software and advertising sales for the LinkedIn social networking site, also beat analyst expectations with revenue of $17.5bn versus estimates of $16.99bn, according to Refinitiv.
Overall revenue for the company’s cloud unit, which includes Azure as well as other services, was $22.1bn, slightly above estimates of $21.85bn, according to Refinitiv data.
Alphabet Inc, which also has a large cloud business, reported strong results on Tuesday, lifting its shares 2.4% after the bell. Those results and Microsoft’s helped boost shares of Amazon.com Inc, another major cloud operator, 4.8% in after-hours trading.

New Delhi; Cloud major Oracle on Monday introduced new AI and automation capabilities across its Fusion Cloud Supply and Manufacturing (SCM) applications to help customers accelerate supply chain planning, increase operational efficiency and improve financial accuracy.
Supply chain disruptions have become a business reality, amplified by global and domestic socio-economic dynamics, trade restrictions, compliance issues.
“India being a key player in the Asian region and global trade ecosystems, there is a massive need for both public and private sector to have supply chain frameworks that drive system integration, identify risk concerns, and produce leads to drive efficiency,” said Kaushik Mitra, Senior Director, Cloud ERP, Oracle India.
Given the complexities, stakeholders are required to have effective technologies that are innovative and sound enough to handle the complex processes, identify and reduce bottlenecks and track the movement across supply chains accurately.
“With latest enhancements in Oracle SCM solution and Oracle’s complete suite of integrated Fusion applications, organisations can manage supply chain data on the same platform as finance, HR, and customer experience to accelerate the quote-to-cash process, break down silos within operations and remove barriers that have traditionally existed between various business functions,” Mitra explained.
New AI features help customers improve the accuracy of lead time assumptions by using machine learning to highlight variances based on actual performance.
“The last few years have highlighted the value of supply chain insights, efficiency, and accuracy, and the consequences of moving too slow when a disruption occurs,” says Jon Chorley, senior vice president of supply chain applications and chief sustainability officer, Oracle.
Part of Oracle Fusion Applications Suite, Oracle Cloud SCM helps organisations seamlessly connect supply chain processes and quickly respond to changing demand, supply, and market conditions,” said the company.

SRINAGAR: J&K Bank has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Chamber of Indian Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (CIMSME) in order to accelerate the growth of manufacturing enterprises. CIMSME is the apex chamber of MSMEs in India, representing their interests and issues with the government and various regulators while being an active participant in MSME-related policymaking.
During the signing of the MoU, General Manager Ashutosh Sareen signed on behalf of J&K Bank, while President Mukesh Mohan Gupta signed for CIMSME in the presence of MD & CEO Baldev Prakash, Executive Director Sudhir Gupta, General Manager Narjay Gupta, Director (CIMSME) Subhash Joinwal, DGMs, and other senior bank officials. The divisional heads of the bank also joined the function through VC Mode.
MD & CEO Baldev Prakash praised CIMSME for its role in promoting MSMEs and expressed pleasure over the signing of the MoU. He said, “As a responsible financial institution, we understand that the MSME sector plays a critical role in fostering entrepreneurship and generating huge employment opportunities, thereby contributing greatly to the country’s GDP. Moreover, MSME lending is profitable for the banking industry, and we need to translate this MoU into solid business growth, especially in the rest of India because this is the sector which complements the large industries in the form of subsidiary units that are vital to the entire ecosystem.”
MD Baldev Prakash asserted that the MSME sector will bolster the economy of the Union Territory and the country alike, and that the bank will ensure that bankable leads generated by CIMSME are processed in a time-bound manner.
President (CIMSME) Mukesh Mohan Gupta spoke on the occasion and expressed his pleasure at the tie-up with J&K Bank. He emphasized the need to educate lenders and borrowers of the MSME sector about various schemes and processes to avail the facilities. He further added, “We will soon be coming up with a web portal for ease of both MSME lenders and borrowers.”
Executive Director Sudhir Gupta stated that the signing of the MoU with the apex chamber is akin to forging a partnership that will go a long way in promoting the culture of enterprise across the country while adding to the bank’s business profile.
Under the tie-up, CIMSME will not only source the MSME/Startup proposals across the country but will also conduct due diligence of these proposals as per the bank policy and RBI guidelines. Once CIMSME is satisfied with the financials and track records of the company/firm, the leads will be shared with the bank for further processing.
J&K Bank has provided benefits of employment to around 92000 youth till March 2023, under the J&K Government’s flagship programmes ‘Back to Village 4.0’ and ‘My Town My Pride’ – a feat that has been hailed by the UT Government and people alike.

Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said he would increase security at G7 meetings taking place in his country, a day after a man threw a smoke bomb at him at a campaign event.
Kishida was campaigning Saturday ahead of next week’s by-elections for the Japanese parliament when an explosive device was hurled toward him. Footage on Twitter appeared to show a bodyguard kicking a smoke bomb away from the prime minister and bundling him away, after the device landed near them. A 24-year-old man was arrested at the scene.
Japan will host the leaders of the Group of Seven most industrialized nations at a summit in Hiroshima next month.
On Sunday, speaking after emerging unscathed from the smoke bomb incident, CNN quoted Kishida as saying: “Japan as a whole must strive to provide maximum security during the dates of the summit and other gatherings of dignitaries from around the world.”
G7 foreign ministers are meeting Sunday for a three-day conference in Karuizawa, where they are expected to discuss China’s aggression toward Taiwan, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and North Korea’s missile testing. G7 climate ministers, meanwhile, are completing a two-day meeting in Sapporo.
The Kishida incident had eerie echoes of the shocking assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last July.
