One of the more innovative features of the mobile web browser, Arc Search from The Browser Company, is its ability to search the web for you and then spit back a summary of what it learned, instead of returning a more traditional set of search results. The feature, “Browse for me,” is one of several ways the company has leveraged AI to offer a new way to search the web. Another, “pinch to summarize,” serves up an AI summary of individual web pages. However, it seems that these AI features could also be the target of Apple’s latest “sherlocking” attempt — a term that references how Apple has historically borrowed ideas from its developer community to flesh out its own apps and OS features.
