The Browser Company Introduces Arc Search, an AI-Driven Web Browser and Search App for iOS

The Browser Company has unveiled its new Arc Search app for iOS, showcasing an innovative approach to web browsers and search engines. Arc Search goes beyond traditional search engines by integrating AI capabilities, enabling users to type a query and then select the "Browse for me" button. The app then scours the web, extracting relevant information from various sources to generate a comprehensive webpage about the query.

This functionality is part of The Browser Company's broader vision for the future of web browsers, where a browser, search engine, AI chatbot, and website are seamlessly integrated within the same application. The company emphasizes that these elements are not distinct entities but components of an overarching internet information finder.

Arc Search's capabilities extend beyond traditional search queries. For instance, when prompted with "What happened in the Chiefs game?" after the AFC Championship, the app created a webpage with details on the final score, key plays, notable events, and related links, offering a more holistic presentation of information.

The app's AI-driven feature, "Browse for me," is a notable step toward the integration of AI, browsers, and search engines. While not flawless, the feature showcases the potential of AI in building webpage-like responses to user queries. However, challenges such as source citation and the accuracy of information remain considerations.

Arc Search is part of a broader transformation for The Browser Company's Arc browser, which is expanding its mobile app to Windows users and introducing a cross-platform syncing system called Arc Anywhere. The company envisions unifying these AI-powered features across various platforms, with Arc Search eventually becoming the sole mobile app under the name Arc.


While the "Browse for me" feature represents a significant advancement, questions remain about the app's future plans, such as potential collaborations with publishers, source citation, personalization levels, and the potential transition to a paid product. Despite these considerations, Arc Search offers a promising glimpse into the future of AI-driven web browsing and search experiences.
