Josh Miller, Founder and CEO of The Browser Co, joins this week. We loved the experience with Arc Search, a new AI-enabled mobile search experience, we decided to talk to Josh directly about how it all came together.
Topics:* How Arc Search came to be spawned out of basically a side project* The core value of "we don't know"* How the key AI feature 'Browse for Me' was not the initial concept, but came to be added last minute* Josh's initial skepticism about AI, up until just a few months ago, and what flipped him* Three strategies for AI integration* The perils of leading with consumer hooks, how that derailed Browser Co, and focusing on solving problems* Should cost be a key consideration when developing AI?
Hope you enjoy us mixing it up this week by talking with someone wrestling with building in the space. Drop us a line on twitter at @nabeel and @fraser with what you want to hear more (or less) of.
