Looks to my like an effort to pivot from an AI embedded Browser after the ChatGPT Atlas release into a local system Browser.
I still don't see the advantage I get for my local system? Nearly all of the actions on the demo page are doable with chatGpt in one or three interactions.
- mxek 11mo agoThe big difference UX wise between chatbots and Surf is that Surf is built entirely on editable documents that you can mold / craft into an output (vs chat). We actually had a chatbot, but our explorations showed that notes were a more effective in many cases! An example of local data is that "Applets" made in Surf can be opened / updated from your local code editor, they're just HTML files.
