From Arc to Dia: Lessons learned building AI Browsers – Samir Mody, The Browser Company of New York

Summary

The Browser Company, led by Samir, embarked on a mission to reimagine internet browsing by developing Arc and subsequently DIA, an AI-native browser designed to transform how people interact with the internet.
