The Browser Company has officially launched its latest innovation in web browsing, an AI powered browser called Dia. Designed to enhance the way users interact with the internet, Dia blends the familiar interface of a traditional browser with the intelligence of an AI assistant embedded right into the browsing experience.
Currently in early access for Arc members, Dia is available exclusively on macOS 14 and newer, with support only for devices powered by Apple’s M1 chip or newer. The browser is still in beta but is already showing promise with a range of smart features that aim to make web navigation faster and more intuitive.
Unlike its predecessor Arc, which was eventually discontinued due to scaling challenges, Dia features a horizontal tab layout and a more conventional interface. What sets it apart, however, is the integrated chatbot located on the side panel. This AI assistant is not just a gimmick. It is capable of pulling information from multiple open tabs at once and offering real time assistance with a wide range of tasks.
The chatbot can summarise web pages, help rewrite emails or messages, and interpret complex text. It can also analyse content from YouTube videos, providing concise summaries along with time stamps. Users can ask it to compare different products across tabs, create tables or charts, translate and explain content in foreign languages, and much more.
One of the standout upcoming features is called History, which is currently being tested. This opt in feature will allow users to query past browsing activity. For example, users could type in a prompt like “What videos did I watch yesterday?” and receive an answer drawn from their previous sessions. The feature is designed to respect privacy by remaining off by default and only activating with user consent.
Dia is positioned not just as another browser but as an intelligent companion that can assist users in handling information more effectively. Its AI is deeply integrated, enabling a seamless back and forth with content that is actively being viewed. According to the company, Dia is built to be the browser that already knows what you are working on, as long as the relevant content is open in one of your tabs.
With its early access program targeting Arc members, Dia is aiming to attract power users who are comfortable testing new features before full rollout. Users can download the browser through Dia’s official website and begin using it after registering with their Arc credentials.
