- Atlassian will buy the browser company for $ 610 million
- He wants to support the development of DIA, a new browser fueled by AI
- The way we interact with the web will change and inherited browsers are not in good shape
Atlassian should buy the browser company, head of ARC and DIA, of $ 610 million in cash.
The company says that its first objective will be to improve the DIA browser by optimizing it for SaaS applications, but it will also integrate AI via a browser -based context to help users “connect points between … applications, tabs and tasks”.
“Your current browser is not designed to help you advance all of this,” noted the co-founder of Atlassian and CO-PDG Mike Cannon-Brookes. “It was designed before the explosion of SaaS applications, and well before the current AI revolution.”
Atlassian takes the arc and the Dia for $ 610 million
Despite the support of a much larger software company, the browser company should continue to operate independently.
The agreement came from discussions surrounding the preparation for the company’s arc, used by Atlassian workers. The confidentiality, security and the management of improved data lacked in the tools of the browser company, so Atlassian intervenes to accelerate them, he says.
Cannon-Brookes also cited distinct research from Gartner who claim that 85% of the average day of employees is devoted to the browser, less than 10% have adopted a secure business browser.
Gartner noted with a secure business browser, IT administrators can apply security policies, reduce dependence on VPNs and VDIS and improve visibility and reports.
Speaking of Dia, the browser company said that “web pages will no longer be the main interface”.
Instead, users will interact more with AI cat interfaces. However, “the new interfaces start from those of families”, which is why DIA always resembles inherited navigators, thus requiring a smaller learning curve and supporting a longer -term transition.
Cannon-Brooke expects the combination of a “passion[ate]”The browser manufacturer and a software company which has” in -depth expertise on the operation of the best world teams “will result in a really powerful new generation browser.
