Opera launched Neon AI on Tuesday, a browser enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI) that can execute tasks and code within the web pages, thus adding to the growing competition between technology companies for making web navigation more agile.
The initiative underlines the race to transform the browser into a productivity center that acts on the name of users instead of limiting search results. Perpleplexity AI launched its Comet browser at the beginning of the year, while The Browser Company, ArC developer, launched day.
Openai is about to launch a web browser with A -based on Chromium that could integrate its “Operator” agent to allow users to navigate and make transactions without leaving a native chat interface, Reuters reported earlier this year.
According to Opera, Neon AI can fill in forms, compare data between sites or write code directly inside the browser. Its “Neon Do” function allows software to navigate pages on behalf of the user without sending information to external services in the cloud.

These are other functions of Opera Neon AI
The Norway company presents Neon as a subscription product aimed at advanced users. The early access begins this Tuesday, and a broader availability is expected in the coming months.
Other functions are the “tasks”, which create autonomous work spaces so that the AI analyze multiple sources, and the “cards”, templates of reusable indications that automate repetitive workflows. Opera states that all actions occur locally, which allows users to control when the AI model acts or stops.
The company’s actions, which are quoted in the United States, shot in the last three years thanks to the constant improvement of their benefits and the optimism of investors around their commitment to products based on artificial intelligence.
Founded in 1995 and based in Oslo, Opera has more than 300 million active users in their desktop and mobile browsers. The company emphasized the design of NEON, which gives priority to privacy, with the argument that its operation in the device could be attractive to European users at a time when regulators intensify the scrutiny about the use of data.
