Arc’s sister browser Dia launches paid plan for unlimited AI access

The Browser Company is best known for its Arc browser, which aims to both innovate and simplify, with a keen focus on usability. But they also have a second browser called Dia in the works, which is being built from the ground up with AI features—and that one seems to be their project of choice, as Arc is no longer in active development.

To stoke those fires even further, The Browser Company launched a paid monthly subscription for Dia earlier this week, reports TechCrunch.

With Dia Pro, users get two big benefits: first, unlimited access to the browser’s AI chat feature, which can answer questions about the content of open tabs, and second, access to the browser’s Skills feature, which are “shortcuts for repeatable workflows.” The latter includes writing, planning, translating, shopping, learning, and more.

Dia Pro costs $20 per month right now, but The Browser Company plans to introduce various other tiers down the road, starting from $5 per month to several hundred dollars per month.

Meanwhile, free users will continue to be able to use the Dia browser, but access to AI features will be limited. No details have been shared regarding exact limits, but the company’s CEO previously made a remark along the lines of “using AI features ‘a few times a week.'”
