Opera launches its AI-centric Neon browser

The browser maker opera launched his AI-centric browser Neon Tuesday, with the ability to create applications through the AI ​​prompt, and it creates repeated requests through a feature that calls the cards. In addition to the opera, companies like the growing number of companies and browser companies are trying to cause agent browsers.

The company first announced that it was working on neon in May, but the browser was closed. It will now start sending invitations to people to pick, who can use the browser with a fee of $ 19.99 per month.

“We have created opera neon for ourselves-and for everyone who uses them extensively every day. Today we welcome us to the first users who will help us to form the future of agent browsing,” Opera EVP Browsers Christian Kolondra said in a statement.

The browser has several core parts. First, there is a simple old chatbot that you can conversation to get the answer to your question. The more agent feature of the browser is called Neon DO, which will help you to complete the tasks. For example, it can summarize a Substack blog and post briefly on a slack channel. Since the history of your browsing in the browser, you can also tell you the YouTube video you’ve seen last week or the post you read yesterday.

Opera’s new browser codes can also write, which are helpful in creating a visual report with table and charts on your behalf. It is not clear whether you can share these mini-apps with others at the moment.

The browser company has a feature called DIA skill, which allows you to request a prompt like a command or app. Neon allows you to create similar repeated prompts using the card. Think of it as the IFTT of AI Prompting (if it is then). To create a new prompt to compare the products across the tabs you can combine cards like “Pool-Ditles” and “Comparison-Table”. Like the DIA, you can create your own card or use the people created by community.

A new tab called Opera Neon Task also brings organizational features, it has AI chat and tab workplace. This feature is similar to the tab groups combined with the workspace feature of the Arc Browser, which has its own context.

In the democracy, Opera Neon completes the tasks like ordering grocery for you. We have seen before that demos often do not reflect the real-world situations-especially with AI products. That means Neon has to prove his claim in real life.

With this launch, Opera is directly competing with the comet and the choice of the dyre. Large technology companies like Google and Microsoft are adding more AI-driven features to their browsers. Contrary to competitors, Opera Neon is located as a product for energy users with its monthly subscription.
