Facebook is working on an in-house OS to decrease its future reliance on tech giants like Apple Inc and Google. The OS will be built from scratch, and the project is being led by Mark Lucovsky, a former Microsoft employee who co-authored the Windows NT operating system.

This means in the future hardware products from Facebook, which includes the likes of Oculus and Portal, could come running the company home-developed operating system. Along with its own operating system, Facebook is also developing a voice assistant like Apple‘s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa. The company even approached Microsoft to license data from its Bing search engine to train the assistant.

“We really want to make sure the next generation has space for us,” Andrew Bosworth, Facebook’s head of hardware, told The Information regarding the company’s plan to build a new operating system. “We don’t think we can trust the marketplace or competitors to ensure that’s the case. And so we’re gonna do it ourselves.”
