About

Dia is an AI-assisted web browser built by The Browser Company of New York, the team behind the Arc browser. It is designed for people whose work is spread across dozens of tabs, chat threads, documents, and meetings, and who spend too much time hunting for context instead of using it. Dia's core idea is that the browser already holds most of your working context, so its AI can read across your tabs and connected tools to answer questions, summarize projects, and prepare your day.

At a high level, Dia combines a Chromium-based browser with an assistant that sits on top of everything you have open. It offers a Morning Brief with your calendar, inbox, and key links; it can pull information from tools like Slack, Notion, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace into shareable reports; and it includes work-oriented features such as profiles, split layouts, meeting preparation, and slide generation. A "Dia for Work" tier adds team administration controls.

Key Features

Morning Brief: Before the workday starts, Dia assembles the day's calendar, inbox, and important links in one view so you know what is coming.
Cross-tool synthesis: Ask Dia a question and it gathers scattered information from Slack, Notion, Teams, Google Workspace, and open tabs, then produces a report you can share.
Profiles: Separate tabs, logins, and AI behavior for work, freelance, and personal use, with quick switching between them.
Live Work: Surfaces active work locations such as GitHub pull requests and Notion drafts directly in the tab bar, so one click lands on the right item.
Better Meetings and Splits: Opens the relevant meeting page, agenda, notes, and documents before each call, with a countdown timer, and remembers split-screen layouts for recurring meetings or focus time.
Decks: Turns your scattered context into presentation-ready slides with headers, layout, and flow.
Organized Tabs: Groups related tabs under names like "Design Review" or "Q2 Planning" instead of an unnamed strip of pages.

Who It's For

Dia suits knowledge workers whose day is spread across many browser tabs and SaaS tools — for example, project managers pulling status from Notion and Slack, developers moving between GitHub pull requests and specs, and freelancers who need clean separation between client and personal contexts. It also fits anyone whose calendar is dominated by meetings, thanks to automatic meeting preparation and remembered split layouts. Teams with compliance needs can consider Dia for Work for SSO and administrative controls.
