Dia is the successor to the short-lived Arc browser, which The Browser company has sidelined to focus on Dia.
Dia browsing experience is centered around tab-based AI chat functionality. The browser offers a “Skills” feature, which are a mix of user-created and built-in shortcuts for everyday tasks like planning, learning, writing, and coding. Skills currently available include a one-click fact checker, summarization, browsing history analysis, productivity planning, and more.
The browser’s AI can understand preferences over time, and users can mention tabs in any chat query and add attachments to conversations. Students can use the browser’s dedicated tools to turn readings, notes, and lectures into custom study guides, flash cards, and other study tools.
Dia requires macOS 14 or later running on an Apple Silicon-powered Mac (M1 or newer). Both free and Pro ($20/month) tiers are available. Free users get access to all core features including chat, custom Skills creation, tab mentions, attachments, and Memory personalization. Pro subscribers score unlimited chat usage. A 14-day trial period is available.
Dia is available to download directly from the company’s website.
