The Browser Company introduced its first iPhone companion app, Arc Search, last year, initially focusing on link-saving capabilities for later desktop use. However, the company has recently expanded its mobile app’s functionality to emphasize the search experience. The standout feature, “Browse for me,” leverages AI models, including those from OpenAI, to curate a comprehensive webpage based on the search query. By analyzing at least six web pages, the feature compiles various sections, such as “Ingredients and Tools,” “Poaching Technique,” and “Cooking Process,” accompanied by relevant photos and videos. Even inquiries about specific changes in the App Store due to DMA resulted in a concise summary of Apple’s announcements. Users also have the option to bypass the AI feature and use default search engines like Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Ecosia. While a reader mode facilitates easy reading, bookmarking is available without an organized folder system. Additionally, the Arc Search browser automatically archives tabs after a day to prevent tab overload, accessible through the tab switcher or a left-edge swipe. The company recently allowed users to set Preplexity as their default search engine on the Arc desktop client, although it remains unclear if this option will extend to the mobile client.
