Technology firms are accelerating efforts to embed generative artificial intelligence directly into the web-browsing experience, with new browsers and experimental features announced within the past three days. San Francisco-based Genspark this week released an AI-powered browser that adds an “Autopilot” mode capable of opening, navigating and operating webpages through natural-language commands. The software also offers sidebar chat, real-time tab control and other productivity tools designed to eliminate manual clicking and scrolling. The Browser Company, creator of the Arc browser, opened a private beta of its Dia browser for macOS on 12 June. Dia lets users converse with open tabs to obtain instant summaries, compare products, draft emails and automate planning tasks, positioning the browser itself as a personal assistant while maintaining a minimalist, ad-free interface. Google joined the trend on 13 June, launching a Search Labs test called “Audio Overviews” that uses its latest Gemini models to convert search-result summaries into short, podcast-style audio clips. The company is also piloting a Gemini feature that automatically generates concise overviews when a user opens a PDF, further reducing the need to read lengthy documents.
