This AI web browser can perform certain tasks for you
Dia is currently only available to a very limited number of testers. — The Browser Company
The Browser Company has launched a new web browser in beta for a limited number of users. It is designed around integrated artificial intelligence that can understand context and act on your behalf, like a true online personal assistant.
Named Dia, this web browser is currently only available to existing users of Arc, the former alternative browser project from The Browser Company, which has now been suspended. For the time being, Dia is only compatible with macOS and only works on devices equipped with M1 chips or later. This means that this beta version is not yet intended for a wide audience. However, it looks very promising.
Dia stands out for its advanced integration of artificial intelligence into the user experience. This beta version is already highly ambitious, as it includes a veritable intelligent assistant, custom-developed by The Browser Company. This assistant can analyze entire web pages and provide contextualized advice and answers based on browsing history and the various tabs that are open. The idea is to be able to handle everything that's available online and in the browser with simple natural language commands.
Dia is also capable of automatically performing certain specific tasks for you, based on the intent detected in your queries. The browser has been designed to perform a specific task, whether it's writing an email, comparing items on different shopping sites, answering specific questions about one of them, summarizing the content of a video or article opened in a tab, etc.
Dia is therefore reimagining the browser, no longer as a medium for web pages, but as an intelligent assistant designed to facilitate everyday tasks without leaving the browser interface and therefore without necessarily needing to use services like ChatGPT. The icing on the cake is that The Browser Company promises that all personal data analyzed or used by its AI is stored locally and never shared.
ChatGPT publisher OpenAI is also reportedly working on a web browser with advanced and intelligent features. – AFP Relaxnews

Google turns internet queries into conversations
SAN FRANCISCO: Google on Friday began letting people turn online searches into conversations, with generative artificial intelligence providing spoken summaries of query results. With Audio Overviews, Gemini AI models quickly sum up query results in conversational style, according to Google. "An audio overview can help you get a lay of the land, offering a convenient, hands-free way to absorb information whether you're multitasking or simply prefer an audio experience," Google said in a blog post. "We display helpful web pages right within the audio player on the search results page so you can easily dive in and learn more." Google is beefing up online search with generative artificial intelligence, embracing AI despite fears for its ad-based business model. CEO Sundar Pichai recently unveiled a new AI mode in Google search. The search engine's nascent AI mode goes further than AI Overviews which display answers to queries from the tech giant's generative AI powers above the traditional blue links to websites and ads. Since Google debuted AI Overviews in search slightly more than a year ago, it has grown to more than 1.5 billion users across several countries, according to Pichai. Google's push into generative AI comes amid intensifying competition with OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has itself incorporated search engine features into its popular chatbot.
