Opera brings a AI browser to the market with neon

Opera Neon is said to be more than one AI agent, namely a real agent AI browser. Opera had originally already presented a AI agent as a browser operator. It should be integrated into the normal browser. You can still chat with the AI ​​agent in Opera Neon, but it is new that the AI ​​browser will take on extensive tasks and you can send it to you for one.

Neon leads most tasks according to opera Local in the browser – this is how privacy and security should be preserved. However, a press release also says that Opera use AI agents who work outside the browser-in a virtual machine hosted in the cloud, only in Europe. These agents should be able to continue working if the clients go offline. Opera mentions as an example, people can “ask the browser to create a game, a report, a code snippet or even a website.” It is also possible that Opera Neon processes several tasks at the same time.

Opera neon with its own AI engine

First, the AI ​​agent browser is available via a waiting list. It is a premium subscription product, so it is obviously not made available free of charge. We have no access yet. In a preview, the browser looks chic dark, in the sidebar there is the options to chat with the AI ​​agent or have it done. Opera differentiates between “do” and “make”. DO stands for the browser operator, who can understand websites and also fill out a form, for example. Make, on the other hand, is its own AI engine that works for the user, even if it is offline. The tasks are more comprehensive and are orchestrated.

The AI ​​engine has developed Opera herself-it uses the world’s best models. It will not be more specific at this point. To understand a website, Opera Neon does not use screenshots and pixels, like many AI agents, but the Document Object Model Structure. This determines what the layout of a website looks like.

Opera also points out that they had already released a browser called Opera Neon in 2016. In fact, many elements of that time were taken over to the new AI agent browser, such as the messenger in the sidebar and the split screen.

Other AI providers also want to offer AI browser, Openai works on it, as well as perplexity. At the same time, Google integrates into Chrome AI functions.
