A test of the app Dia illustrates that the humble web browser may be the path to making artificial intelligence more natural to use.<\/p>\n

When was the last time you thought about your web browser?<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t remember, no one will blame you. Web browsers<\/a> have remained fundamentally unchanged for decades: You open an app, such as Chrome, Safari or Firefox, and type a website into the address bar. Many of us settled on one and fell into what I call \u201cbrowser inertia,\u201d never bothering to see if there\u2019s anything better.<\/p>\n

Yet a web browser is important because so much of what we do on computers takes place inside one, including word processing, chatting on Slack and managing calendars and email.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I felt excited when I recently tried Dia<\/a>, a new kind of web browser from the Browser Company of New York, a start-up. The app is powered by generative artificial intelligence, the technology driving popular chatbots like ChatGPT and Google\u2019s Gemini, to answer our questions. Dia illuminates how a web browser can do much more than load websites \u2014 and even help us learn and save time.<\/p>\n

I tested Dia for a week and found myself browsing the web in new ways. In seconds, the browser provided a written recap of a 20-minute video without my watching its entirety. While scanning a breaking news article, the browser generated a list of other relevant articles for a deeper understanding. I even wrote to the browser\u2019s built-in chatbot for help proofreading a paragraph of text.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dia is on the cusp of an emerging era of A.I.-powered internet navigators that could persuade people to try something new. This week, Perplexity, a start-up that makes a search engine, announced an A.I. web browser called Comet, and some news outlets have reported<\/a> that OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, also plans to release a browser this year. OpenAI declined to comment. (The New York Times has sued<\/a> OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, claiming copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems. The two companies have denied the suit\u2019s claims.) <\/p>\n

Tech behemoths like Google and Apple have added lightweight A.I. features into their existing browsers, Chrome and Safari, including tools for proofreading text and automatically summarizing articles.<\/p>\n
