What if AI chat is our new front door to the web? Meet "Inline Browsing" in @diabrowser (available today) Now Dia opens webpages *within* your AI chat threads – blurring the lines between 3 categories of software: a web browser, search engine, and AI chat. Let me explain...

By building AI chat *on top* of a browser – not as a separate product – you get a more fluid thinking environment. AI & the Web, fused together as one. I know that sounds pretentious, but it’s the best way to describe the feeling of inline browsing. So obvious in retrospect.

Webpages are just the beginning. Dia can render all kinds of interactive embeds inline. Today, that means you can consider purchases without leaving chat. Tomorrow, @tobi’s investment in MCP might mean shopping inline too – with dynamic store embeds. A new internet is coming!

"Won't pplx/oai/chrome just copy this?" Man I don't know what to say. Yes? Probably? But we’re having a blast playing with this new play-doh. Our GA release this Fall is the craziest thing I've ever worked on. So we're gonna keep doing our thing!! Enjoy inline browsing✌️

Oh, one last thing for fellow founders: I know AI hype is exhausting and annoying. But fwiw i believe the next 12 months will reshape how we use computers, faster than the past 12 months. My advice: no sacred cows, move quick, & have fun with it! Lucky time to be building 🫡
