We have reached a place in the AI life cycle where we see many “x meets y” applications. Multiple companies They are already releasing the “AI Meets Tiktok” applications, for example. Now, the start of Deta based in Berlin and New York marries AI browsers and something like Google’s Notebooklm in a new knowledge management application called Surf.
Deta surfWhich starts today at Beta, is also a browser and a research tool that allows you to create notebooks on different topics. You can use AI to get a substance with a specific subject based on your prompt. You will then receive a brief report on a topic in a concept document that you can edit.
Since the basic application is a browser, you can open the URLs and surf into the web. When browsing, you can summarize and extract basic knowledge from websites, PDFS and YouTube videos.
Users can report many tabs in AI Chatbot, using them as a frame and ask questions around them. In addition, Deta Surf can create code so you can ask the tool to create mini applications, interactive graphs or graphs for your notebook. You can also add any of the AI exit to a particular notebook.
Most modern AI-Brows programs, such as Perplexity Comet, Browsing Program DIA and Neon Opera allow users to use tabs as a frame. And some of them also have the ability to produce small code excerpts.
Deta, founded in 2019, began creating a new operating system using an infinite white canvas. However, The sunset company the product in 2023and started working on a AI browser.
The company’s co -founder, Max Eusterbrock, said the company had explored different interfaces for a browser, but realized that the pursuit of this direction was a bad idea.
“We were at Alpha for a year. During this time, we realized that AI browsers land at the point where they become fundamentally machinery to click around and browse the hyper -intended for humans,” he said.
Eusterbrock added that starting also believes that a interface where you can’t edit anything is not an excellent plan for the human machine’s interaction.
While the product acts as a browser, startup thinks that notebooklm is a direct competitor. Eusterbrock believes that because the surf provides you with the box with tabs and maintains data locally to allow you to work offline in the notebooks, it is a better product for students and researchers.
The company has made the tool available for free and is working in a picture creation mode. Going forward, it can work towards a premium subscription that will include features such as Cloud Backup, collaboration and multi -device customers.
In 2023, Deta raised $ 3.6 million in a round of seed led by Crane Venture Partners with the participation of System.one, Tomahawk.vc, Tiny.vc, Acequia Capital, Angel Invest and Nphard. Since then, the company has increased an additional $ 500,000 in funding from existing and new investors.
