I love Dia! I've been using it for the past month or so. I've found it really useful to use for reporting on paid campaigns. Just open all the reporting dashboards in different tabs, open your campaign plan doc with benchmarks etc. in another and get it to bring it all together for you so you can quickly see what's working and what isn't.

Signed up for the talk! BUT… there’s a chance I might miss it. Hope you’ll record it and make it available to those who registered and had life get in the way ;-)

I knew this was coming; it was just a matter of when. I can't wait to try this. I put myself on the waitlist since I don't have access. It won't be long before there will be others.

Yeah, i think they will soon launch this, but I guess it will come the subscription pricing.

Nice breakdown, Wyndo! I've only just started experimenting with Comet but it's exciting to see the possibilities of these browsers. And it's just the beginning..

Wyndo's avatar

The fact that this is still the beginning is what makes me excited too! Whats ur thoughts on Comet?

Thanks for this, I'm a power Arc user and was baffled by the news that Dia was now the focus.

It's helpful to hear you lay out what Dia does — but I use the browser for *so many* other use-cases than research & synthesis. In my thinking, I'd use Dia as a "research app" for when I'm doing those tasks, but not a "browser replacement". (In fact, I stopped using Arc-mobile months ago because it was so focused on basically being mobile-Perplexity and I mostly needed to go visit a website to do something - like look up my holds at the library.)

Am I getting it wrong? Are you still using Arc or Brave or whatever to do the rest of your browsing, or does that happen in Dia too?

Wyndo's avatar

I can understand that frustration :)

I abandon Arc already as I can see myself using Dia for almost everything: research + casual browsing simultaneously. But for mobile, I still mix between Arc and Safari just because of speed.

What I’m seeing now is that Dia is being developed to resemble the experience on Arc so their users could easily move. They just added the left sidebar, tab management, etc.

So ideally, Arc users shouldn’t face any significant challenges using Dia on Mac unless you use Easels feature a lot.

Oh, if sidebar/tabs are now in Dia, I'm in! That's wonderful news.

Someone at Perplexity helped me get access to Comet 8 days ago. I agree with you!

Love this review Wyndo! An AI-first browser really does feel like the next big shift! It’s hard to imagine going back once you’ve experienced that kind of fluid intelligence built into the interface. The Skills feature you mentioned sounds especially powerful.

It does make me wonder: with tools like Dia emerging, how long before Google follows suit with deeper Gemini-native browser capabilities? It’s going to be fascinating to watch how this landscape evolves.

Also, huge congrats on the Lightning course! It’s looking amazing 🤩

it's damn hard to go back haha

yeah i'm sure google will follow and it could be powerful too, but as u know with google, i think their products will be ads driven because they look for massive and mainstream products while offering everything for free.

I can predict Dia will put their subscription as they launch the product to the public.

Thanks Jenny :)

First time I hear of Dia! I'll definitely be checking it out, thanks!

Really cool review! I’ve been testing Dia over the past few days, but haven’t made it my full-time browser yet, cause I still rely a lot on my Chrome bookmarks and quick-access setup to move quickly through my day. But I’m excited to see how it’ll feel once I finish setting everything up and make it the default.

Wyndo's avatar

I know it’s hard to move to new one. Browser is not something people can move around easily. Looking forward to see how u’ll use it more!
