Web browsers are becoming the primary platform for accessing AI tools, with companies like SigmaOS introducing new features to cater to users’ desire for AI tools. These features include link preview summaries, pinch-to-summarize, and “look it up” browsing functions, similar to rival browser Arc. SigmaOS claims its features provide better quality results, particularly with the new pinch-to-summarize feature on desktop.
SigmaOS is adapting to different page types and presenting summaries in various formats based on the web page content. The company’s marquee feature, “Look it up,” browses the web for a given query and creates a summary page with the information found. Users can ask follow-up questions to explore topics further. Additionally, SigmaOS is introducing link previews on hover and automatic renaming for pinned pages.
Last year, SigmaOS released AI-powered features such as a contextual assistant called Airis. The company is now looking to monetize its AI features, offering improved rate limits for $20 per month users and unlimited usage with access to different AI models for $30 per month. SigmaOS is also developing an AI-agent-like feature for hands-free browsing interactions and exploring the concept of “repeatable flows” for automatic actions.
Competitor Arc, which recently raised $50 million in funding, also plans to build an AI agent for web browsing. SigmaOS, with over 100,000 users, has raised $4 million from investors like LocalGlobe and Y Combinator. The company’s latest launch aims to attract more users, prepare for future fundraising, and continue expanding its AI-powered browser features.
