Arc Search, The Browser Company’s new app, introduces a way for users to get quick answers on the go using their voice. The AI-powered Call Arc feature essentially works by making users make a quick phone call to get answers to queries.
While Arc Search already offers Voice Search, the new feature is designed to be a fun way for users to get quick answers on the go. Call Arc can help you answer quick and short questions, according to the company.
To access the feature, open the app, then hold the phone to your ear and start asking your question. The app will then work to provide you with instant voice responses.
The company says Call Arc is a new approach to voice search that delivers answers faster than typing while making the experience as easy as picking up the phone and calling a friend.
Let’s say you’re making dinner and have some questions about how to prepare your ingredients. You can ask him questions like: “How long should I cook spaghetti?” The app will give you an answer, and then you can ask another question, like, “Why should I keep some of the pasta water?”
You can then continue to chat with the AI ​​as you prepare your dinner and ask questions that may arise during the process. While listening to the answer, users see an animated smiley face on the screen, the mouth moving as it provides the audio answers to your questions.
The Browser Company launched Arc Search in January to give users an app dedicated to answering queries. The app has a “Search for Me” feature that offers a beautifully built web page with information about the search query. The feature, powered by models from OpenAI and others, reads at least six web pages and creates a new page with user information for each query.
In March, TechCrunch learned that The Browser Company raised $50 million in a round led by Pace Capital at a $550 million valuation.
