Other AI features in Arc Max include an AI that attempts to give more accurate descriptions to downloaded files with non-sensical filenames and another that tries to shorten and make tab names more readable. Users can also access ChatGPT using a keyboard shortcut. Despite the innovative ideas, the execution has been criticized as lacking. The company plans to leave these AI features open for 30 days for users to decide which are most useful before deciding which to keep and potentially charging for Arc Max.
Key takeaways:
- The Browser Company has released a new version of its Arc browser, Arc Max, which includes AI tools such as a five-second preview of links and an option to ask questions about the contents of a web page.
- The AI-generated synopsis of what lies behind links is the most impressive feature of Arc Max, but it works erratically and often requires clicking to the side or above a link to generate a preview.
- The 'Ask On Page' feature allows users to ask questions about the content of a web page, but it has limitations, especially with long pages.
- The Browser Company plans to leave these AI features open for 30 days for users to decide which are most useful, and it is likely to start charging for Arc Max once the shortlist is finalized.
