An AI browser whose first-run 'Getting Started' page teaches five things: trust, the ⌘E chat shortcut, learning your patterns, history as context, and payoff by the end of the week. Setup offers optional import from your old browser and ChatGPT memories, with preloaded Skills.

## Notes

- 'Welcome to Dia — Here are five things to know': 1 Built for your trust (data encrypted and stored locally), 2 With you on every page ('Press ⌘E to open Chat'), 3 Learns how you work, 4 History, but way better, 5 By the end of the week…
- The page sets a time-to-value promise: 'After a week, you won't be able to go back to your old browser.'
- Privacy is placed first; the history section says Dia avoids storing data from sensitive sites such as banking and health by default.
- Illustrations show the chat bar with sample prompts ('suggest ways this website could be more accessible', 'What was that research paper… I looked at last week?') and Skill chips (Meeting Recap, Show Up Smart, Focus Brief).
- Dia's help copy calls import of bookmarks, passwords, history and extensions optional and offers 'Import from ChatGPT…' to seed Memories; Skills come preloaded (e.g. Summarize in Chat).
- SupaSidebar's review says first run imports from Safari, Chrome, Edge or Brave, opens the AI sidebar, and includes a short Skills walkthrough and a Memory opt-in.
