This is such a vibe! I love it. Pro tip: set your iPhone Action Button to Call Arc. Works brilliantly! It's my new bat phone.

Wow, congratulations, guys! The future is here, haha. However I wonder what retention you are going to have, as people now don't like to call and prefer text options. As in, I'm curious if it's going to impact Arc. All the best!

@anastasiia_stepko you can just your search into the browser. Arc supported text first.

So cool, but needs a button option similar to the Lock Screen widget in the browser for those who don't have an action button. For some reason I can't get it to work consistently by raising my iPhone 14 with Arc open.

@steventhemaker they offer a lock-screen widget.

I still have no idea why Arc offer 2 different browser for iOS for searching and browsing only? In my personal opinion does this function not work fine, there is no option to type/ adapt the input

Wow! Congrats on the launch! I am really starting to like Arc more and more. Now, aside from development-related tasks where I use Chrome, I use Arc for everything else!

I’ve tried both Perplexity and ChatGPT as my iPhone action button for triggering a voice search, and Arc’s been the fastest to load so far! Can I ask which LLM do you use for this AI-powered search?

Would this be coming to Android too?

Love the commercial! The Call Arc is still rough around the edges - took ages to respond and it switched to czech instead of slovak, but i believe you ll define the future!

Love Arc and this seems promising! Do you folks think that physically picking up the phone could be a hindrance in adopting this?
Ilya Sokolov
Great! Very convinent and exciting idea that could help get information during walking or for people who don't like typing! I think adding voice activation for the full voice control could be also considered!

Congratulations on the launch! What an interesting concept - looking forward to using this more and more!

Call Arc seems like a great tool for getting quick answers to questions on the go. The convenience of just raising your phone to your ear to ask a question is really appealing. How well does it work in noisy environments? @kasperlahti @josh_miller

Congrats on the launch! Calling Arc instead of Siri to answer my questions.

Call Arc sounds like the perfect tool for quick and efficient answers on the go, a true game-changer for busy content creators seeking instant solutions. It's like having a personal assistant in your pocket!

Congrats on the launch of Call Arc! Is there a plan to integrate voice commands for more functionalities in future updates?
