DIAThe new browser of the browser company is almost nothing like the company’s final product. There was a total reconsideration of how he works app, arch, browsers: it took the tab to the side and combined them with the bookmark, it introduced endless ways to organize all your belongings, and there were many ideas how to make your web surfing a little more delight.
Diya will get some goods from that time, Josh Miller, CEO of the browser company, told me. The app that is being launched today For existing arc users There is still a beta (and only available on Mac). But none of that stuff is a matter of Diya anyway. The talk of the lamp, they say, the artificial intelligence is practically to bring to the center of everything you do online. The central feature of the app is a chat tool that is capable of seeing every website you see, reaching every site you log in, and helping you find information, getting goods and navigating the web a little more easily.
The app, which I was testing for a while, is incredibly simple to understand. Imagine chrome, only with more design polish and more playful animation. Now imagine a sidebar on the right that contains a chatbot like a chat, which you can invite at any time. You can use a chatbot to talk about the tab you are seeing, other tabs you have, and even your browsing history. It can answer questions, get information, compile different things in the same thread, and more.
Chrome with a chatbot. He is a lamp. Intentionally. “As much as I personally loved the chap,” Miller says, “I could not just ignore the data that was said that there was a lot of novelty for people to try it.” ARC data showed that once people got, they were bent, but most people never found. “When we started building the lamp, the fact that it was a horizontal tab, not so strategic as self -sufficiency. It was the right thing.”
When I indicate Miller that spending my days with chatbott is also a beautiful novel, he stops me. This is the case, he says: it. Chatgpt is the fastest growing application in the history of the Internet, the industry is already re -presenting around chat, and talking to AI is already a second nature among young people, especially among young people. “You talk to college students or high school students,” Miller says, “and they are talking to this like a person.”
Early deiya testers Without guidance from the browser company, on a large scale, for food plans, for study assistance and used your AI assistant for dating and friend advice. Says Miller, “One of the things we are looking at is that a lot of people start with chat before starting a project.” “Before they open an application, before they discover Google, their first instinct is to open their computer and ask AI for a question or a plan.” In the last one year, even Miller has found himself an inclination for more often on AI chat. If you want you to find this frightening and diastopian – a small part of the miller may agree – but the trends do not lie.
If you believe that these AI relationships are both intensive and unavoidable, then the creation of a web browser around them makes the right understanding. This approved knowledge is becoming: Perplexity has been building a browser, OpenII has been reported to do so long, and AI companies are lining to buy chrome if it ever goes up to sale. Meanwhile, Google is busy integrating Gemini into Chrome, while it can still do. When the browser company started, its big bet was that browsers have been felt by us. Now, everyone has realized.
You can learn a lot of a terrible a lot about someone, just can see them by web browsing
There are three great reasons to make a browser for your AI. The first is that you can learn a lot about someone, just looking at them by web browsing. “How does the system understand everything throughout the day?” The browser company’s CTO Harsh Aggarwal says. “Where do you click, where you type – how do you earn all the pages you are seeing?” The DIA team found ways to quickly find and store important bits of a website, as well as to find out which sites are relevant to you and which you will never hear again. He returns to all data and history then in every chat interaction. Over time, Aggarwal says, privatization has become the most important feature of DIA.
The second major advantage of the browser is URL bar. “The most valuable thing in this new world,” says Aggarwal, “is the fact that the browser is the owner of CMD-T and Omnibox, as it is a single entry point in your computer where you express intentions-this is the most commonly used text box on your computer.” It is so true that the US government has forced the company to sell Chrome, thus taking Omnibox away.
Within the lamp, every tab and window begins with a ubiquitous. If you type the name of a website, it should take you there. If you type something that sounds like a web search, you should get web search results. And if you can ask for something that can handle the AI ​​assistant, it should not only bring the assistant, but also to help you get the goods with the right data and skills with the correct version of the assistant.
Instead of trying to create an all-park chatbot like Mithun, or ask you to choose between a million purpose-made models like chatgip, the browser company has called Agraval a “routing system”. Diya mostly does not run on her own model, and after months of attempt, the browser company has left in an attempt to compete at that location. Instead, the company calls “skills” at the top of the existing models, which combines its needs to match the right tools to the signal and model. “And significantly,” Aggarwal says, “We can have custom UI and custom memory systems for each skill.”
When you ask the lamp to find a coat, the assistant can activate a purchasing skills, which knows all the items that are looking at Amazon and Anthropologi; When you ask it to prepare an email draft, a writing skill can see all the emails you write and the authors you like to read.
The browser company thinks about the skills system, such as the head store of the iPhone, the head of the product engineering Tara Faneer says. “This is really about how we unlock the really specific value in the tasks and things that you are already in the browser?” Right now, most AI systems want to become superapps, all the time all things are capable of having things. By being more specific and concentrated, the DIA may do individual work better (and cheaper); By obtaining the routing system correctly, it can do all that and still feel comfortable.
Diya does not only see every webpage you see – it can see everything you log in in every site.
The third thing is a little less clear to browsers for them, but perhaps even more powerful: cookies. Since Dia stores cookies from every website on the web, it is effectively able to interact with all those websites on your behalf. This means that Diya does not see every webpage you see – it can see everything in every site you log in.
Right now, Aggarwal says, Diya uses most cookies to grab more information from the websites you see, but it can do a lot. Someday, in the future filled with AI agents who can browse the web and do goods on your behalf, your browser becomes a powerful command center for all bots. The browser company actually created such a device, says Aggarwal. “We used it to book large -scale meetings, make reservation, all kinds of goods you can do with your cookies.” The problem that the team came to know was that the technology was not correct, and people did not like to realize that their web browser was working out of their control. For now, Dia does not have much agency. But it will change.
However, with all power, there are a lot of problems. The first is just realizing that the browser gives you. For the first time, Diya makes you aware that it knows your social security number, because you once typed it, is it going to read as useful or frightening? Your browser has always known a shocking amount about you, but has never reflected before that it knows you directly back. Aggarwal says that the browser company has done a lot of work in finding out which data it is – it is very important to save health, financial, or otherwise – simply. And they hope that it will never narrate your social security number, even if he knows it.
Agrawal is also careful to keep in mind that all your data are stored and encrypted on your computer. “Whenever the goods are sent to our service to processing,” they say, “it stays there for millsac and then it is erased.” Over time, ARC had some security issues, and Aggarwal repeatedly states that privacy and security have been the main for DIA’s development from the beginning. Over time, they hope that almost everything in Diana can be locally.
So what does it all add? First, Diya is a browser that lets you chat with your tab. This is the marketing tagline of more or more lamps, and it is the main function of the browser for now. I have seen the demo of diya cross-referenceing for various job interview materials in many tabs, to keep the observation of a person’s performance together. I have noticed how you can use DIA to summarize dull conversations and write your own answers, or how it can help you check a bridge request in Github. Most of these are not new goods – this is just that the pieces are baked together, so you do not need to copy and paste, download and upload, or even take screenshots. The bot sees the browser, and vice versa.
But in the long run, if Miller and Browser Companies are perfect, where AI has been led, your web browser can be much higher than just a web browser. It can become an app that is with you everywhere, which knows you best, which can help you in anything. If this is the future, each company needs to run for the app you begin to make a relationship, as the switching cost will be painful. Miller compared it to switch to the music apps, saying, “One of the reasons that I have never switched to Apple Music, even though it works better in Apple Ecosystem. It does not really know the taste of my music in the way Spotf has deposited over time.”
Diya, he expects, every time you open a tab will be better and more personal. And you will not eventually love your browser because the way it works with the tab – you will like it because of the way you work with you.
