Mozilla announced the purchase of Pulse, a startup developing a product based on machine learning technologies for automatically updating statuses in the Slack corporate messenger, which are set in relation to user activity in various systems and based on user-defined rules (for example, you can configure status updates depending on events in the scheduler calendar or participation in a meeting in Zoom). The amount of the transaction is not called.
Mozilla's interest in Pulse is related to the expansion of the use of machine learning technologies to create more personalized products that take into account the preferences, behavior and actions of users online. For example, it mentions the possibility of creating machine learning models that are developed for the benefit of Internet users, with an eye to transparency, privacy, and an initial focus on equality and inclusiveness.
