Test

Status: NEEDS-DESKTOP

Dia Browser is an AI-first desktop web browser. Download from diabrowser.com. Free during beta. There is no CLI binary, no --version flag, and no headless mode. No automated smoke-test command can be run from a terminal. Verification is performed manually after installing the app.

What is required

• Download the Dia installer from diabrowser.com
• Install and launch on macOS (primary platform) or Windows
• A Dia account for AI features

Manual smoke test (post-install verification)

Run this checklist after installing Dia to confirm the app is working correctly.

Step 1: Launch

Open Dia from /Applications/Dia.app or via Spotlight (Cmd+Space, type Dia, press Enter).

Expected: Dia launches and displays the sign-in screen or, if already signed in, the Morning Brief tab.

Step 2: Morning Brief loads

After signing in with your account, the Morning Brief tab should open automatically.

Expected output (success): A tab titled "Morning Brief" is visible and shows today's date, at least one calendar event (if your Google Calendar is connected), or a prompt to connect integrations.

Step 3: Command bar responds

Press Cmd+K.

Expected output (success): The command bar overlays the center of the screen with a text input and placeholder text such as "Search, ask a question, or run a command."

Step 4: Context search returns a result

In the command bar, type a simple factual question such as: What is on my calendar today?

Expected output (success): Dia returns a synthesized answer with source references drawn from your connected Google Calendar. If no integrations are connected yet, it returns a prompt to connect them.

Step 5: New tab opens

Press Cmd+T.

Expected output (success): A new tab opens, either to a blank page or to a new-tab speed-dial page with pinned links.

No automated test available

Because Dia has no CLI, SDK, or public API, there is no scriptable smoke test. Automated browser testing of Dia itself is not supported. If you need automated browser testing in your stack, use Playwright, Steel, or Browserbase instead.

Version check (manual)

To confirm which version of Dia is installed:

1. Open the Dia menu (top-left menu bar)
2. Click About Dia
3. The version string is shown in the dialog, for example: Dia 1.x.x
