Since it launched in beta last June, Dia has required an invite. Today, The Browser Company announced that its AI-powered successor to Arc is now generally available on macOS. Here’s how it works.

Dia offers a free and a $20/mo Pro plan

The Browser Company says that Dia requires macOS 14+ with M1 chips or later, and it offers a 14-day trial on its Pro, $20/month plan, which offers unlimited chat usage, “provided usage is within our Terms of Use, of course, the company says.

In the free plan, Dia offers the following features:

  • Chat on any tab
  • Create Custom Skills
  • Mention tabs in any query
  • Add attachments to any query
  • Personalize Dia with Memory

Dia also includes Skills, which are a mix of user-created and in-house shortcuts designed for everyday AI tasks such as planning, learning, writing, coding, and more.

Some of the Skills being highlighted right now include summarization, fact-checking, browsing history analysis, outlining, and productivity planning.

Dia also offers features and Skills designed specifically for students, including a study buddy that helps turn notes, lectures, and readings into flashcards, quizzes, and custom study guides.

Following today’s launch, The Browser Company CEO Josh Miller said they are moving back to shipping weekly updates, and highlighted three features that will arrive in the next few weeks:

Following the usual criticism of abandoning the Arc browser in favor of Dia, Miller also said that “[m]ore of Arc’s greatest hits will be redesigned for Dia, beyond CMD-S“.
