Opera has launched Opera Neon, marking what they call the "first AI agentic browser". This new browser aims to redefine the user experience by automating web actions based on user intent, essentially transforming the browser into a digital assistant. Opera Neon is designed to recognize what users want to achieve online and then execute those tasks autonomously. According to Opera, Neon is intended to function as a helpful digital coworker, rather than just a passive window to the internet.
Opera Neon will come equipped with a built-in conversational agent capable of searching, summarizing pages, and providing contextual answers directly within the browser's interface. Complementing this is a "Browser Operator" agent designed to handle routine tasks such as filling out forms, booking hotels, and managing online shopping carts. Opera emphasizes that these interactions will be processed locally to ensure user privacy. Beyond local tasks, Neon connects to a cloud-based AI engine that can conduct research, design content, and even build entire websites and games on the user's behalf. The company is inviting developers and power users to shape Neon’s roadmap, framing the release as the first step toward what it calls “the AI agentic web.”
The product is slated to launch as a premium subscription service, with pricing and release date details yet to be announced. A waitlist is currently open at operaneon.com. This move follows Opera’s earlier integration of Browser Operator into its flagship browser and its existing Aria chatbot feature, solidifying the company’s strategy to leverage AI as a key differentiator against competitors like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari. Opera hopes this shift will allow users to focus on higher-value work.
