Opera Neon features AI agents that can convert user intent into concrete actions.

Opera introduces Opera Neon: a browser that uses AI to automatically perform user actions and transform ideas into web applications.

Browser Performs Tasks Based on Intent

With Opera Neon, Opera has launched a new browser that not only allows users to surf but also performs tasks independently using built-in AI agents. The browser can understand what a user wants to do and convert that intent into concrete actions. Opera calls this “agentive browsing”. Neon is now available via a waitlist and is offered as a premium subscription.

Users can engage an AI agent in the browser to search for information, provide contextual explanations for visited web pages, or answer complex questions. Additionally, the previously introduced ‘Browser Operator’ is integrated. This AI agent can take over repetitive web tasks, such as filling out forms or booking hotels. The processing happens locally in the browser, which Opera says should guarantee privacy.

Virtual AI Agent Continues Working when User is Offline

Opera Neon also introduces an AI engine that is not limited to interaction within the browser. The engine runs in a cloud-based virtual machine and can perform complex tasks based on user instructions. Think of creating a game, report, piece of code, or even a complete website. The AI can continue working on the task, even when the user goes offline.

The browser also supports multitasking by executing multiple AI tasks simultaneously. With this, Opera targets a user group that wants to explore the possibilities of AI in daily web use. Interested parties can sign up for the waitlist starting today via www.operaneon.com.
