Arc Browser Introduces Live Folders to Automatically Update Tabs.

The Browser Company continues to add more features to Arc, the browser set up to provide an alternative to Chrome and other dominant internet browsers in the market. It raised $50 million in March at a valuation of $550 million, and that infusion continues to work its magic. It is launching an update featuring a new feature called Live Folders, which automatically creates and updates tabs in a folder based on events such as someone adding a file to a shared folder.

Live Folders comes at a time when the company is also building out more AI-powered features that serve to create more dynamic and automated user experiences. One plan has been to build an AI agent that browses the web on your behalf, although this has yet to launch.

First, they launch Live Folders with support for GitHub pull requests. When a user creates a GitHub pull request, Arc automatically creates a Live Folder on the sidebar.

Folders will automatically update tabs based on the pull requests that you have created, assigned to or requested a review for or mentioned. The folder will automatically clear out tabs with completed requests and tasks.

If there is a new pull request when your Live Folder is collapsed, then the browser will peek it out to bring your attention to the new request.

With this feature, Arc will make up a new kind of tracking system intended to help users in their daily work. The company has teased the feature since February. When asking about support for types of systems for the Live Folders feature, it was GitHub service that accounted for the most demanded votes.

The company said that it was focused on integrating services to Live Folders treated towards collaboration, such as Google Calendar, Google Drive and Figma. It added that the tech behind Live Folders is flexible, so it could also adopt things like updates from RSS feeds.

The co-founder of the company, earlier this month, declared that the company has hired former Safari designer Charlie Deets and former WhatsApp designer Christine Rode in order to build alternative interface designs.
