Dia, the AI-centric browser, is incorporating popular features from Arc, its sister browser. Dia aims to provide a streamlined browsing experience with integrated AI, differentiating itself from traditional browsers that treat AI as an add-on. The browser has a built-in AI assistant that can understand browsing history, access logged-in sites and help users find information.
Dia's AI integration allows users to interact with web content in new ways. The AI can answer questions about webpages, pull content from multiple tabs, and assist with tasks like research and writing. A key feature is the 'Skills' framework, enabling users to create custom AI workflows for tasks like summarising information or optimising shopping. Dia's ability to understand and interact with multiple open tabs simultaneously enables cross-tab analysis, content synthesis and research acceleration.
While still in beta, Dia is available to Arc users and is designed to appeal to a broader audience seeking a simpler, AI-enhanced browsing experience. The Browser Company is focusing on Dia, shifting from Arc and halting new Arc features. Dia is built with privacy in mind, prioritising local data processing and transparent data handling.
