Instagram’s founders are back with a new app

CNN  

New York CNN — More than four years after Instagram’s founders left the company, they’re back with a new app. Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger on Tuesday announced the launch of Artifact, an app that promises “a personalized news feed” powered by artificial intelligence. Platformer described Artifact as “TikTok for text” and possibly “even a surprise attack on Twitter.” Instagram co-founders Mike Krieger and Kevin Systrom during the 2019 SXSW Conference and Festival at the Austin Convention Center on March 11, 2019 in Austin, Texas. The pair left Instagram in 2018, with reports at the time suggesting the departure was due to tensions with CEO Mark Zuckerberg over the app’s direction and a desire to further incorporate it into Facebook.
