Fresh off raising $50 million at a $550 million valuation in March, The Browser Company continues to add new capabilities to its Arc browser, which is designed to provide a viable alternative to Chrome and other prominent competitors in the internet browser industry. Today, it introduces Live Folders, a new feature that will dynamically build and refresh tabs in a folder in response to events such as someone uploading a file to a shared folder.
Live Folders comes as the firm expands its AI-powered features to deliver more dynamic and automated user experiences. One goal has been to create an AI agent that browses the web on your behalf; however, this has yet to be implemented.
The firm will first debut Live Folders with support for GitHub pull requests. When a user submits a GitHub pull request, Arc immediately adds a Live Folder to the sidebar. 
The folder will automatically update tabs depending on pull requests that you have generated, assigned, asked for review for, or discussed. The folder will automatically remove tabs containing completed requests and tasks.
When your Live Folder collapses, the browser will highlight any new pull requests for you.
Arc intends to leverage this functionality to create a new kind of tracking system that will assist users in their everyday tasks. The business teased this functionality in February. When asked about support for other sorts of systems for the Live Folders functionality, GitHub was the most desired service.
The business stated that it is concentrating on incorporating collaboration-focused services like Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Figma into Live Folders. It was also said that the technology underpinning Live Folders is adaptable, allowing it to include features such as RSS feed updates.
Earlier this month, the startup’s CEO, Josh Miller, said that it has engaged former Safari designer Charlie Deets and former WhatsApp designer Christine Rode to create various interfaces.
