Deep dives
Arc Search Origin Story
Arc Search did not start as an AI project. The team wanted a better default mobile browser, so they worked on reimagining the mobile web browser with no constraints. The focus was on being the fastest way to look something up on your phone. AI came in at the end as a last-minute change to provide users with the one perfect tap. The goal was to bring the perfect webpage instantly without the need for further searching.
