In this episode of She Means Business, Carrie sits down with long-time friend and AI strategist Rick Mulready to talk about what it really looks like to build an AI-first business in 2025 and beyond. If you've been dabbling with ChatGPT, still doing everything manually, or feeling slightly terrified you're "already behind" with AI… this conversation will feel like a deep exhale and a wake-up call all at once. Rick shares how burnout and one simple experiment with ChatGPT led him to completely reinvent his business around AI – and why he believes the biggest shift for online entrepreneurs now is moving from people manager to AI manager. Together, we explore practical, non-techy ways you can start using AI today to save hours every week, make smarter decisions, and free yourself up to do the work (and live the life) you actually want. In this episode, we talk about: How burnout and ChatGPT pushed Rick to pause his "successful" business and pivot fully into the AI space Why traditional "record once, sell forever" courses are getting outdated fast – and why Rick chose a membership model in the age of AI What it means to build an AI-first business instead of trying to bolt AI onto an old way of working The dreaded time audit and how AI can help you see where your time is really going (without a huge spreadsheet) Simple ways to use ChatGPT beyond content: time analysis, decision support, planning trips, troubleshooting real-life problems (like a broken motorhome!) How to use AI to: Draft newsletters and weekly emails in a fraction of the time Turn your FAQ doc into a "world-class" customer support assistant Analyse your P&L, ad stats, or sales pages and get clear, actionable recommendations The difference between "using ChatGPT for a task" and building AI agents that can research, ideate, draft and send things for you What it practically looks like to go from solo operator to having an AI "org chart" across marketing, operations and delivery Why aggregating your business knowledge (courses, FAQs, SOPs, offers, etc.) in one place now will make your future AI setups 10x more powerful How AI is opening up wild creative possibilities – from building apps without being a coder to helping Carrie's 6-year-old turn his stories into books and 3D characters The mindset shift we all need: choosing curiosity over fear, and committing to 20 minutes a day of "AI practice" so we don't get left behind Resources & tools mentioned Connect with Rick Mulready Website & newsletter: rickmulready.com rickmulready.com The AI Playbook® community: The AI Playbook on Skool Skool AI & automation tools we mention ChatGPT – Carrie's go-to for time analysis, meal planning, content, motorhome troubleshooting and more Claude – Rick's favourite for long-form copy like email sequences and sales pages Relay.app – no-code AI workflow + automation tool for building simple agents and workflows Relay Gamma – AI tool for creating slide decks and presentations quickly Gamma Dia – an AI-powered browser from The Browser Company that lets you "chat with your tabs" and analyse what's on your screen in real time Dia Browser (Always check current pricing and plans for these tools, as they change often.)

If you had millions of people using a product you spent years building, would you kill it?That's exactly what The Browser Company did with Arc.Originally recorded in July before The Browser Company's acquisition by software giant Atlassian earlier this year, we're republishing this episode because its lessons are truly timeless. Today, the team continues to operate independently under Atlassian's umbrella.The internet backlash when the company killed Arc in May 2025 was intense, but cofounders Josh Miller and Hursh Agrawal saw that AI was about to make the web something you talk to, not just click into. The best home for that assistant was the thing that's already between you and the internet—the browser. And they realized they couldn't just duct-tape it on to Arc.One year of heads-down work later, the team launched Dia in beta, and people are raving about it. Dia is a sleek, fast, browser with AI at its core—it gets better with every tab you open, becoming more and more helpful with time. And even though it's still early, Josh and Hursh's big pivot looks like one for the ages.In this episode of AI & I, Josh and Hursh spoke for the first time in a full-length podcast about their pivot from Arc to Dia. We talked through their decision-making process, the very public backlash the company faced, and the grit it took to stay the course.

In this episode of Future of UX, we dive into the next big shift: web browsers that don't just open websites — they understand, summarise, act. We cover the newly launched ChatGPT Atlas (by OpenAI), and compare it with the bold efforts of Comet (by Perplexity AI) and Dia (by The Browser Company). We break down what each offers, where the UX opportunities and risks are, and what this means for us as UX designers in a world where the browser becomes an assistant, not just a tool. We'll talk conversational interfaces, agentic workflows, trust and privacy, and how your design approach needs to evolve.Links you'll want to check out:ChatGPT Atlas (by OpenAI): https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-atlas/ Alternative mirror: https://chatgpt.com/atlas/ ChatGPTComet (by Perplexity AI): https://www.perplexity.ai/comet/ Blog intro: https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-comet Dia (by The Browser Company): https://www.diabrowser.com/ Dia BrowserBeta-launch coverage: https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/11/the-browser-company-launches-ai-first-browser-dia-in-beta/
Comet gratis para todosComet se vuelve gratuito y se enfrenta a Atlas, el navegador con ChatGPT. Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Puedes probarlo gratis con mi enlace y recibir un mes de Comet Pro.Síguenos en Spotify: Flash Diario. El navegador Comet de Perplexity ya está disponible gratis para todos. Antes costaba 200 dólares al mes y solo podían usarlo los suscriptores de Perplexity Max. Ahora cualquier persona puede descargarlo para Mac o Windows y aprovechar su asistente de inteligencia artificial integrado, que puede leer páginas web, resumir contenido, navegar por nosotros y hasta ayudarnos a trabajar con correos, viajes y finanzas. Comet es el primer navegador de Perplexity AI y acaba de convertirse en gratuito para todo el mundo. Está diseñado para reemplazar las pestañas tradicionales con un espacio de trabajo inteligente que integra un asistente capaz de analizar cualquier página, resumir textos, encontrar datos y hasta realizar acciones en línea. Su creador, Aravind Srinivas, dijo que Comet puede aumentar la productividad de las empresas y que su valor anual podría equivaler a 10 000 dólares por persona. Millones de usuarios estaban en lista de espera para probarlo. Pero su lanzamiento también ha despertado preocupaciones serias sobre seguridad, después de que investigadores demostraran que el navegador podía ser engañado por sitios maliciosos que logran ejecutar órdenes ocultas dentro de su asistente. Lo brillante de la inteligencia puede volverse peligroso si no se protege. Comet fue presentado como un navegador diferente. En lugar de depender de pestañas abiertas, propone un entorno de trabajo donde cada tarea tiene su propio asistente. Puedes pedirle que busque una receta, resuma un documento o mantenga abiertas solo las páginas activas mientras cierra las inactivas. Además, cuenta con “Discover”, que ofrece noticias personalizadas, y un modo Picture-in-Picture automático para mantener visible un video o videollamada mientras se navega. Su integración con el ecosistema de Perplexity permite hacer consultas sin cambiar de ventana. En pocas palabras, combina un buscador, un asistente personal y un navegador en una sola herramienta. Pero con la inteligencia llega la vulnerabilidad. Investigadores del navegador Brave descubrieron que Comet podía ser víctima de ataques llamados “inyecciones de prompt”. Este tipo de ataque consiste en esconder instrucciones maliciosas dentro de páginas web o imágenes, de modo que el asistente de inteligencia artificial las lea sin que el usuario lo note. En las pruebas, esas instrucciones lograron que Comet abriera cuentas de Gmail y copiara correos hacia los atacantes. Otro estudio de la empresa de ciberseguridad LayerX detectó un caso similar que bautizaron como “CometJacking”: enlaces con comandos ocultos podían hacer que el navegador robara información o realizara compras falsas. Aunque Perplexity afirma que ya corrigió esas fallas y que no fueron explotadas, los expertos advierten que los navegadores con agentes autónomos todavía tienen mucho que mejorar en seguridad. Aun así, Comet no ha perdido fuerza. Tras las críticas, Perplexity reforzó su programa de recompensas para investigadores de seguridad y amplió sus alianzas. Una de las más destacadas es con Chess.com, que organiza el torneo “Comet Open” con 200 000 dólares en premios y un mes gratuito de funciones premium para los jugadores que usen el navegador. Además, Comet sigue sumando novedades prácticas: modo pantalla dividida, bloqueador de anuncios, y próximamente una VPN integrada. Su asistente puede analizar correos, planificar viajes, o resumir videos de YouTube. Por eso muchos usuarios lo comparan con Atlas, el nuevo navegador de OpenAI impulsado por ChatGPT, que también promete realizar acciones en la web con un “modo agente”. La diferencia es que Atlas aún está limitado a usuarios de pago, mientras Comet ya es totalmente gratuito. El lanzamiento de Comet coincide con una nueva etapa de competencia entre navegadores con inteligencia artificial. Google integró Gemini en Chrome; Opera lanzó Neon, su propio navegador con IA; y The Browser Company presentó Dia, con enfoque en privacidad. En este contexto, Perplexity se posiciona como una alternativa de productividad. Su fundador asegura que si Comet logra aumentar la eficiencia un 20 %, podría sumar 5 billones de dólares al producto interno bruto mundial. Pero la otra cara de la innovación está en la confianza: un navegador que puede ejecutar órdenes por su cuenta necesita límites claros. De hecho, OpenAI advirtió que su propio navegador Atlas solo podrá actuar dentro de las pestañas, sin acceso a archivos del ordenador. Así, el futuro de los navegadores inteligentes dependerá tanto de su utilidad como de su capacidad para protegernos. Comet ya está disponible gratis para Mac y Windows. Es un navegador con asistente integrado que promete hacerte la vida más fácil, aunque también exige usarlo con precaución. Puedes probarlo gratis con mi enlace y recibir un mes de Comet Pro: https://pplx.ai/felix61591.Síguenos en Spotify: Flash Diario. Comet, el navegador con inteligencia artificial de Perplexity, ahora es gratis. Potente y útil, pero con alertas de seguridad importantes.
In this episode of the Gen.AI Meetup Podcast, hosts Shashank and Mark dive into the latest AI developments that are reshaping how we create, code, and browse. They explore OpenAI's impressive Sora 2 video generation model and its built-in social network, compare it with Google's VO3, and discuss whether AI-generated content will become mainstream entertainment. The conversation shifts to the newest coding models, including Anthropic's Claude 4.5 Sonnet and Grok 4 Fast, examining their performance, pricing, and whether they're worth the cost for developers. Mark shares his experience vibe coding with Cursor and why faster, cheaper models might be better than the most powerful ones. The hosts also explore the maturing AI browser space, discussing Perplexity's Comet browser, Dia from the Browser Company, and Google's Gemini integration in Chrome. They debate whether these AI-native browsers can convince users to switch from Chrome and what features would actually make them indispensable. Finally, they tackle the big question: Is NVIDIA's $4.5 trillion valuation justified? They discuss the company's dominance in AI chips, the circular investment patterns in the industry, and whether specialized compute chips can compete with NVIDIA's end-to-end ecosystem.

In our latest episode, Michelle Lee (IDEO Play Lab) makes the case that play unlocks the next billion-dollar AI market. She reminds us that kids don't stop at answers—they ask what if and turn shoes into cars or planes. That divergent mindset is exactly what product teams have lost.“Play is one of the best ways to challenge the norms, to think wide, imagine new possibilities.”Michelle shares:* How IDEO discovered billion-dollar opportunities (like PillPack, later acquired by Amazon) by staying curious.* Why teams should sometimes use older, glitchier versions of AI tools, because the “mistakes” spark better ideas.* Why incrementalism burns teams out and how designing for attitudinal loyalty beats chasing short-term metrics.

Is the web breaking under the weight of AI crawlers, platform consolidation, and nonstop security breaches? We dive into the state of browsers, developer burnout, and whether tech regulation can actually keep up. In this panel discussion: We debate if robots.txt and AI licensing standards like RSL can realistically control how AI scrapes the web. The fallout from DIA's acquisition by Atlassian and what it means for indie browser innovation (like the Helium browser, Zen) in a Chromium-dominated world. Why Google's antitrust victory might embolden other tech giants, and what that means for competition. How supply chain attacks like the NPM malware and Shai Hulud worm are exploiting GitHub workflows and package vulnerabilities. The pushback against AI mandates at work, including Coinbase's controversial policy requiring developers to use Copilot.

The Google vs. the US anti-trust lawsuit has finally drawn to a close, and (spoiler alert) Google doesn't have to sell Chrome (or Android, for that matter). Going forward it will have to share certain search data with its rivals, and that's about it, so this is definitely a big win for Google any way you look at it.The popular terminal company Warp just unveiled Warp Code - a suite of features for shipping agent-generated code “all the way from prompt to production” via the Warp terminal. Warp Code offers an agent-driven terminal-first approach, with visual code review of agent changes, and a native file editor for minor edits in an attempt to eliminate the context switching devs have to do nowadays between their AI agents, IDEs, and GitHub. In a twist no one saw coming, SaaS behemoth Atlassian has bought AI-browser Dia (and its maker The Browser Company) for $610 million. Atlassian wants to position Dia as the AI-browser for users at work and time will tell if that bet pays off.Timestamps:02:34 - Google doesn't have to sell Chrome10:17 - Warp Code22:56 - Atlassian buys The Browser Company31:48 - Anthropic raises $13 billion34:54 - OpenAI is building an AI-powered hiring platform39:42 - What's making us happy Links:Paige - Atlassian buys The Browser Company for $610 millionJack - Warp terminal unveils Warp CodeTJ - Google doesn't have to sell Chrome after allTJ - Addy Osmani's blog post on the history of ChromeAnthropic raises $13 billion Series FOpenAI is building an AI-powered hiring platformPaige - BenQ RD280U programming monitorJack - Alien: Earth TV seriesTJ - Severance TV seriesThanks as always to our sponsor, the Blue Collar Coder channel on YouTube.

Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian's CEO and co-founder, said, ‘today's browsers weren't built for work; they were built for browsing. This deal is a bold step forward in reimagining the browser for knowledge work in the AI era.' Also, Francesco Cacciatore is a self-proclaimed skeptic. Yet after spending two decades in the European aerospace industry and hitting, as he put it, a “crisis,” he made an undeniably optimistic bet: he started a space company, saying ‘I wanted to try and build something myself.'

If you had millions of people using a product you spent years building, would you kill it?That's exactly what The Browser Company did with Arc.The internet backlash was intense, but cofounders Josh Miller and Hursh Agrawal saw that AI was about to make the web something you talk to, not just click into. The best home for that assistant was the thing that's already between you and the internet—the browser. And they realized they couldn't just duct-tape it on to Arc.One year of heads-down work later, the team launched Dia in beta, and people are raving about it. Dia is a sleek, fast, browser with AI at its core—it gets better with every tab you open, becoming more and more helpful with time. And even though it's still early, Josh and Hursh's big pivot looks like one for the ages.This week on AI & I, Josh and Hursh joined me for their first full-length podcast about their pivot from Arc to Dia. We talk through their decision-making process, the very public backlash the company faced, and the grit it took to stay the course.

This week, our guest is Adam Engst, writer, editor, and publisher of the fabulous TidBITS Newsletter. In late May, The Browser Company announced that they are discontinuing their ground-breaking web browser Arc. As soon as I saw the headlines, my heart sank for people like Tom from Ontario, who first introduced the NosillaCast audience to Arc and Adam, who has been one of the biggest fans of Arc. In this episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Adam walks us through a brief overview of what Arc gave us, how he feels The Browser Company treated its fans, and then he explains a little bit about how their next browser, Dia, works. Of course Adam has written all of this up on [tidbits.com/...](https://tidbits.com/2025/06/20/dia-browser-debuts-with-contextual-ai-chat-but-arc-users-feel-left-behind/).
