Overview

  • Dia places a chatbot directly in the Chromium-based address bar, letting users query pages and switch seamlessly between chat and search without leaving the browser.
  • The browser retains context locally and adapts to each user by remembering past interactions and optional browsing history to tailor responses.
  • Screen-awareness features enable users to ask questions about open tabs and automatically generate summaries or documents from page content.
  • The Browser Company has paused development of its Arc browser to concentrate resources on expanding Dia’s capabilities and user base.
  • Dia is available in an invite-only Mac beta with a waiting list for other users, joining Google’s Gemini tests in Chrome and Opera’s AI agent features.
