"Atlassian, the software company behind Trello and Jira, announced on Thursday that it has acquired The Browser Company, creator of the Dia web browser. First unveiled in June, Dia is a web browser that uses an AI agent system to interact with users via natural language, predict their browsing goals without specific prompting, and pull information from third-party apps. Dia is the successor to Arc, another platform created by The Browser Company."
"There will also be a focus on personalization: Whereas traditional web browsers have historically required users to navigate the vast expanse of the web on their own, the new browser will be built to understand the context of a user's search history and actively help them to more efficiently retrieve the information they're looking for. "It's time for a browser that's actually built for work -- a browser that helps you do, not just browse," Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes wrote in a company ."
Atlassian acquired The Browser Company, maker of Arc and Dia, for $610 million to develop an AI-powered browser tailored to knowledge workers. Dia uses an AI agent system that interacts via natural language, predicts browsing goals without explicit prompts, and pulls information from third-party apps. The planned browser will emphasize personalization, understanding the context of users' search history to help retrieve information more efficiently. The design will transform tabs into context-enriched icons and enable agentic AI to take action on users' behalf, integrating with productivity workflows and prioritizing work-specific features over general-purpose browsing.
