Welcome back to “AI This Week,” your go-to source for the latest in artificial intelligence. This week, we’re covering The Browser Company’s AI-powered voice search, OpenAI and News Corp’s landmark content partnership, and Cloudflare’s advanced AI workload management tool.

Arc Search Introduces Call Arc: Voice-Activated Q&A
Arc Search, the latest iPhone app from The Browser Company, has launched Call Arc, an AI-powered feature allowing users to ask questions and receive instant voice responses by simulating a phone call. Users simply open the app, hold their phone to their ear, and ask questions, receiving immediate answers through an engaging animated interface.
For instance, you can ask, “How long should I cook spaghetti?” or “Why should I keep some of the pasta water?” If you’re out shopping, you might ask, “What’s the best substitute for buttermilk?” and get a quick response without needing to type. Launched in January, Arc Search also offers a “Browse for me” function, using models from OpenAI to compile information from multiple web pages into a single, user-friendly page.
OpenAI Teams Up with News Corp to Elevate AI Journalism

This collaboration will provide OpenAI access to current and archived content from major News Corp mastheads, including The Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, and the New York Post.
The partnership aims to uphold the highest journalistic standards and enhance user access to reliable information. News Corp will also share its journalistic expertise to ensure the integrity of OpenAI’s offerings.
