The Browser Company has introduced a new app called Arc Search that includes a feature called Call Arc, which allows users to get quick answers to their queries by making a phone call. This AI-powered feature is designed to provide immediate responses to small questions on the go, making it a fun and easy way to access information.
To use Call Arc, users simply need to open the app, hold the phone to their ear, and start asking questions. The app will then provide instant voice responses, making it faster than typing and as simple as making a phone call to a friend. Users can ask multiple questions and continue the conversation with the AI as needed, such as while cooking dinner.
The app displays an animated smiley face on the screen as users listen to the audio responses, adding a fun and interactive element to the experience. Arc Search was launched in January with a focus on answering user queries, including a “Browse for me” feature that generates web pages with information sourced from multiple sources. The app has received funding of $50 million in a recent round led by Pace Capital, valuing the company at $550 million.
