Mike Cannon-Brux, CEO of enterprise software giant AtlasThe arch was one of the first users of the browser. Over the years, he has been a vigilant bug reporter and feature requester. Now he will be the owner of this: Atlasian browser company is receiving a New York-based startup that creates both Arch and new AI-centrifugged Dia browser. The Atlasian browser is paying 610 million dollars of cash for the company, and planning to run it as an independent unit.
Josh Miller, CEO of the browser company, says the deal began about a year ago. A lot of Atlasian employees were using arc, and “they were thinking, how can we get more enterprise-taiyar?” Miller says. Large companies require data privacy, safety and management facilities in the software used by them, and the browser company did not offer enough of them. Finally, as companies everywhere raced to keep AI at the center of their businesses, and as the browser company made its bets at AI, cannon-Brux suggested that the companies were perhaps better.
The acquisition is mostly about the DIA, which was launched in June. The DIA is a web browser and a mixture of chatbot, which has an underlying way to chat with your tab, but also do things in apps. Open three spreadsheets in three tabs and DIA can transfer data between them; Log in in your Gmail and Diya can tell you what is next on the calendar. Anything with URL immediately gets available data available for Dia and its AI model. For a company like Atlasian, which makes a complete suit of work apps-a method of sewing a way to sew simultaneously to all-un-romantic project-tractor cumin, note-taking app, plus trailo, loom, and more-un.
Miller is clear, even tremendous, that the DIA is not just going to be a cover for the Atlasian apps, or is mainly shifted to think about IT managers and enterprise features. The DIA is still for individual users. It is just so, it is mainly for individual users At work. Earlier, Miller says, “We talked a lot about shopping, to do reservation, to find shotime. It is going to go away in our meditation.” He says that he sees everyone, from chatgate to cloud from Gemini to replica, to be a central new character in your personal life. He is happy to create a task tool instead.
For the browser company, the deal is a large exit and a bit surprising. Companies such as anthropic take out their evaluation from anywhere and in practically any startup with a .AI domain name, racking in funding in billions, now why does it now get out of the race? It is easy to see this deal because the browser company waves the white flag, exiting during the exit and before handling the big players completely.
Not surprisingly, Miller does not see it like this. He now provides some reasons to do this deal, which is moving ahead with the obstinate speed on which this market is moving forward. “I think the winner of the AI ​​browser space is being crowned in the next 12 to 24 months,” he says. To become a really mainstream for DIA, the browser company requires huge distribution, a sales organization, and a scale, and perhaps it’s not and perhaps it may not be enough quickly. “It felt that some could buy money, at that time in the horizon that we had,” Miller says. He says this is the way to ensure Not there. Swallow with big names.
“I think the winner of AI browser space is going to be crowned in the next 12 to 24 months”
Selling a company like Atlasian gives the browser company incredibly given some very important stability in the Jhalards market. “This returns us to a clear focus,” Miller says. He seems very excited that there is no need to worry about raising more money. The only goal is, they say, the DIA has to get more active users, and confident that Atlasian can find out how to convert it into more revenue for the company.
For browser company’s browsers, what all this means to make sure to make sure. Miller has promised no favorite-nation features for Atlasian products, nor any Microsoft Edge-style popup begs you to sign up for cumin. Miller says that the team is actually even more committed to being a cross-platform product, and especially windows are very much attracting attention. He also says that the company’s pivot is an aggressive roadmap to bring the best arch for the DIA, after the company’s pivot annoyed some of its most dedicated users. The condition of ARC has not changed, and will still be maintained but has not been actively developed. (Reading between lines, however? I will not count to be very long on arch – there is no place for this in this new system.)
The browser company has been through a lot of changes in the last few years, but its biggest ideas have been continuously and have been largely correct: that the era of SILD apps was ending, and that the browser would be a powerful new way to interact with the computer. Almost everyone also agrees with this theory, also: Perplexity has a browser, Google is a blistering speed A-Iiring Chrome, even OpenIAI is allegedly close to launching a browser based on Chatgpt. The job in front of Miller is no longer to convince the world that he is correct, but to ensure that he wins. And when you need to win, it actually helps for the sales team.
