The AI browser that reads between your tabs
Starts the day with a consolidated view of your calendar, inbox and key links so you know what is coming before work begins.
Ask once and Dia searches open tabs along with connected Slack, Notion, Teams, GSuite and other tools to answer with full context.
Requests for a deck or a summary come back as presentable slides and shareable reports rather than raw chat text.
Surfaces where work is actually happening, like a specific pull request or spec draft, so one click lands you in the right place.
AI research platform for reading, understanding and writing scientific papers
Open or upload a paper and ask questions, get plain-language explanations of highlighted passages, and pull out methods, results and limitations conversationally.
Search a large scholarly index spanning Google Scholar, PubMed and arXiv, then generate structured literature reviews and related-work sections from what you find.
An AI Writer for drafts, a paraphraser for academic tone, and a citation generator that formats references in popular styles.
Turn tables and results in a paper into structured data, and check whether a manuscript reads as AI-generated with a built-in detector.
