In a significant development for AI-powered web browsing, The Browser Company's Dia and Perplexity's Comet browsers have launched skill galleries that promise to streamline repetitive online tasks and enhance productivity.
Dia's newly launched skill gallery enables users to save frequently used prompts and execute specialized commands with ease. These skills range from crafting code snippets to finding local events, with users having the option to explore and add capabilities from an official gallery. The browser, which emerged from The Browser Company after they shifted focus away from their Arc browser in May 2025, positions itself as an AI-first experience that allows users to chat directly with their tabs.
Meanwhile, Perplexity's Comet browser is rolling out similar functionality with shortcuts for common tasks such as organizing tabs, preparing for meetings, and tracking trending topics on social media. As announced by CEO Aravind Srinivas, Comet users will also be able to create their own "Tampermonkey-like scripts" using natural language prompts, making browser automation accessible to non-technical users.
This development marks a fundamental shift in how AI integrates with browsing. According to Andreessen Horowitz partner Olivia Moore, both browsers represent a significant departure from previous agentic consumer products by embedding AI directly into the browsing workflow. "The concept of an agentic browser is really exciting," notes Moore, highlighting that users no longer need to leave their browsing environment to leverage AI capabilities.
While Dia excels in workflow automation and personalization through its custom skills, Comet's strength lies in its connected actions and deeper integrations with applications like Gmail and Google Drive. Both approaches aim to transform routine browsing activities into more efficient, AI-assisted experiences.
As the browser market increasingly embraces AI capabilities, with Google enhancing Chrome and OpenAI reportedly developing its own browser, these skill galleries represent an important step toward making AI assistance a seamless part of everyday web interaction.
