Arc Search, the innovative application from The Browser Company, is set to redefine mobile query solutions with its latest feature, Call Arc. Utilizing advanced AI technology, Call Arc enables users to receive instant answers to their questions via a simple phone call.
Although Arc Search is already equipped with a Voice Search feature, Call Arc aims to enhance user experience by providing an engaging and efficient means of obtaining quick responses, especially for immediate and minor inquiries.
To leverage this feature, users need only to open the app, hold their phone to their ear, and ask their question aloud. The application will promptly deliver voice responses in real time.
According to The Browser Company, Call Arc represents a novel approach to voice search, offering a more rapid and user-friendly experience compared to traditional typing. This feature is designed to streamline the information retrieval process, making it as intuitive as calling a friend.
When preparing dinner and seeking guidance on ingredient preparation, the app becomes an invaluable tool. You can inquire about specific cooking details, such as, “How long should I cook spaghetti?” The app promptly provides a response, allowing you to continue with further questions, like, “Why should I retain some of the pasta water?”
This interactive experience is enhanced by a responsive AI you can engage with as you cook, addressing any culinary questions that arise. The app features an animated smiley face on the screen, whose mouth moves to deliver audio answers, making the interaction both informative and engaging.
In January, The Browser Company introduced Arc Search, an application dedicated to answering user queries. One of its notable features, “Browse for me,” constructs a well-organized web page containing information relevant to the user’s search query. This feature, leveraging models from OpenAI and other sources, synthesizes information from at least six web pages to create a comprehensive response for each query.
Furthermore, it was reported by TechCrunch in March that The Browser Company secured $50 million in a funding round led by Pace Capital, achieving a valuation of $550 million.
