- Opera Neon is a new full agent browser capable of performing tasks
- The new premium browser is only subscription and will come soon
- You can join the waiting list today
Opera Neon is a new premium subscription web browser that can understand your commands in natural language thanks to AI, while also performing a number of tasks for you.
For example, you can ask Opera Neon to make a detailed report, create a site or even code projects like games, all in the browser.
“We are at a point where AI can basically change the way we use the Internet and perform all kinds of tasks in the browser. Opera Neon brings this to our user’s fingertip,” said Henrik Lexow, senior AI product director at Opera.
“We see it as a collaborative platform to shape the next chapter of Agentic Browsing with our community.”
Fully agentic on the web
Of course, you can currently chat with AI in the Standard Opera browser that has access to Aria AI and Chatgpt in the sidebar, but Opera Neon is a full agent browser, which means you can ask it to perform tasks for you as well as chat or search with AI.
It may include filling in a form that appears on the site you see is doing a hotel reservation or even going on shopping. The best of all, it does all this locally in the browser without risking your privacy or security.
The AI agent inside Opera Neon has previously been shown by opera as a browser operator, and you can give it tasks with simple requests such as “Keep Me Updated on the latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence,” and it would regularly collect and summarize the most relevant articles.
So instead of wading through an endless news feed, you would get just what matters to you the most, nicely packed.
You can also chat with Opera Neon, as if it were an AI chatbot, like Chatgpt, and it can also search the web to find answers.
Chat, make and make
Opera Neon boils its core functionality down to three main settings: Chat, do and make.
Chat is the Chatbot feature. Here you can ask the AI -contextual questions about the webpage you see and search the web.
Do is where opera -neon can interact with the site you are seeing. We are talking about things like filling out forms, reserving reservations and shopping. This is the technology we have previously known as a bowser operator.
Make is the truly new part of Opera Neon. Here you can ask the browser to make you something and it will interpret what you mean, then go away and do it for you. When you are tasked with doing something, you are free to get rid of and do something else.
Opera Neon looks like being one of the most exciting uses of AI I’ve seen in a while. The prospect of being able to ask the AI questions about the site you currently see in the browser and get reliable answers are not new, but the browser’s agent qualities sound incredibly valuable.
Opera Neon is not out yet, but Opera says you can participate in the waiting list today. Meanwhile, Opera has made this video to explain what an AI agent is:
