According to the trailer, Dia has familiar AI-powered features such as “write the next line” – which pulls facts from the Internet, as demonstrated by downloading the launch specs of the original iPhone – “give me an idea” and “summarize tab.” It also understands the entire web browser window, allowing you to copy a list of Amazon links from open tabs and insert them into an email using written directions.
Another feature shown in the video shows Dia “performing actions on your behalf” by typing commands into the address bar – for example, asking you to find a specific document based on a description, and then sending it to another person via your preferred email platform. A third, more ambitious prototype feature shows Dia automatically performing more elaborate tasks, such as adding a list of general items such as “sleep mask” and “gummies” to a user’s Amazon cart or emailing individually tailored information such as such as call times, to a list of personnel involved in the video recording session.
What does this mean for Arc? Miller said the startup has no plans to kill its first browser. In this video, he notes user concerns that the second product will throw out Arc Browser after all, and says, “I feel like this is obviously where the world is heading.”
