Atlassian to Buy The Browser Company for $610 Million to Build an AI Work Browser

Atlassian plans to turn Dia into a work-first AI browser with enterprise-grade security.

Overview

  • Atlassian agreed to acquire The Browser Company for about $610 million in cash, with the price inclusive of the startup’s cash balance and subject to customary adjustments.
  • The company says its goal is a browser tailored to knowledge workers, leveraging Dia’s agentic AI to act via natural language and a personal work memory.
  • Planned capabilities include proactive goal prediction, context-enriched tabs, and connections that pull information from third‑party apps and workplace SaaS tools.
  • Atlassian will position the product for businesses by emphasizing security, compliance, and administrative controls for IT teams.
  • The transaction is expected to close in Atlassian’s fiscal second quarter of 2026 pending approvals, following reported interest from suitors such as OpenAI and Perplexity.
