Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week! In today's digest, I'm covering a new feature from the Browser Company that lets you talk to your search engine of choice. But first…
The headlines:
🐶 The dog behind the doge meme and dogecoin has passed away at 18.
🎵 Spotify is shutting down its 'Car Thing' product, and users want refunds.
🔍 Google's AI-powered search function is throwing up some wild results.
Do you remember the "If Google was a guy" College Humour (now Dropout) skit? In it, the Google search we all know and love gets a human face, and would-be Googlers show up to ask this human Google to do their searches for them. It gets pretty wacky, fast.
The Browser Company's latest launch feels like the company saw the video and said, "Hey, let's make it a feature."
Announced yesterday, Call Arc is a new feature in Arc Search, the company's AI-powered mobile search companion. Picture this: You're in your kitchen trying to remember a recipe to cook tonight. You pick up your phone, and instead of typing, you put it to your ear, and ask for an "authentic carbonara recipe." From there, Arc Search will play some hold music before providing a verbal answer and standing by for another question.
It even looks like a regular phone call. Pull it away from your ear, and you'll see an iPhone-esque splash screen complete with a caller ID, hang-up button, loudspeaker option, and read more button.
Arc Search first launched in January of this year and initially made waves because of its 'browse for me' option. This AI-powered function allows users to get a summarized version of their search instead of the more typical browsing experience they're used to. Arc's been working to add more personality to web surfing, and we think it's safe to say they did it.

Dub.co is the most shouted-out product in the marketing category on Product Hunt. It's a link-managing platform built specifically for marketing teams.
Here's what the makers behind StarSearch had to say: "Dub saved us from ourselves by keeping us focused on providing value to our customers and not building our link shortening infrastructure."
