alt Hacker NewsI will not switch to Dia, however easy they make it. Why?
Bacause I don’t want to be pushed towards a $100 per month plan where the «key feature» is an AI morning brief.

Man that is a crazy price for an unimpressive list of features.
You can get Claude Pro for $20/month and if you hook it into a browser, I'm not sure what you'd be missing out on from those listed perks.
I mean I get the benefit of a prepackaged experience but not at 5x the cost.
Oh weird. I use Dia now and then and noticed my ability to upgrade vanished, but I still have access to all the AI features and the morning brief things. I just assumed the Atlassian acquisition made it free for everyone. Is that not the case? Do people here actually see a upgrade prompt?
/EDIT: I looked into this by... well, asking Dia:
> That fits what I described. You aren't on a plan because you haven't had to pick one yet. People who were using Dia before paid plans launched on August 17 kept the AI features for free, with nothing to choose and no card on file. Dia says it will email those users at least 30 days before that changes.

> So nothing's wrong. It just isn't permanently free either. It's free for now because you joined early. When the notice email comes, you'll have about a month to decide:
So I'm grandfathered "for now", but the Daily brief and AI features are so low value to me, I just assumed they're free for everyone because of how little they do. I never use the built-in AI in Dia and get annoyed when a query that I wanted to go to a search engine gets answered by the assistant instead.
