Arc Search Browser will be available on Android soon, company confirms

Arc Search, the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) mobile browser, is coming to Android soon, the company confirmed on Saturday. The browser made its debut earlier this year and gained popularity for its AI-powered features such as Browse for Me, where the AI ​​reads multiple web pages to show the relevant information, AI summarization and more. In May, the company rolled out a Call Arc feature, which offered two-way communication where the user could verbally ask a question and the AI ​​would respond.

Arc Search confirms Android app in the works

Reply to a user’s post message When asked by Threads if an Android version of the app was in the works, Arc Search’s official Threads account said that an Android app is coming soon. This is the first time the company behind the app has officially confirmed that it is building an Android app.

Arc Search was launched on the App Store in January 2024 by the Browser Company. Later, the platform was expanded to Mac devices and was also rolled out to Windows. However, the browser is still not available on Android.

The browser has several unique features such as a Browse for Me mode, where after receiving a search query, the AI ​​goes through relevant web pages to find the information in an easy-to-read format. It also has features such as AI summarization, auto archiving, ad blocking, private browsing mode, secure tabs, reading mode, and more.

The company has also been adding new features to the app regularly. Since its launch, the Arc Search browser has gained a Shared Browse for Me mode and a Call Arc feature. The latter is a hands-free feature that allows users to talk to the app and the AI ​​will respond with answers to the queries.

Arc Search specifically uses the OpenAI API and several other AI models to power the browser’s AI features. At this time, the company hasn’t revealed whether there will be any Android-specific features. There’s also no word yet on when the browser might debut on the Android operating system.
