Opera has introduced "Browser Operator," a new native AI agent integrated directly into its browser. This AI agent is designed to automate repetitive tasks, enhancing user convenience by performing actions such as purchasing products, completing online forms, and gathering web content. Unlike separate tools like Google AI assistant or ChatGPT, Browser Operator is an extension of the browser itself, processing tasks locally to empower users and streamline their online activities.

Opera's AI agent utilizes natural language processing powered by Opera’s AI Composer Engine to interpret written instructions and execute corresponding tasks within the browser. It allows users to delegate tasks like buying socks, booking flights, or searching the web. Opera emphasized the privacy-focused architecture, claiming that the AI agent is faster and more secure than cloud-based alternatives because it does not take screenshots or capture videos of your screen. The tool is the latest in a long line of AI developments at the Norwegian company, which launched a fully AI-enabled browser in 2023.
