opera neon browser has ‘agents’ that can do things on the web for you when you’re offline

AI Agents work for Opera Neon Browser and its users

The Opera Neon browser has AI agents that can work on projects and tasks of the users even when they’re offline. Dubbed agentic AI browsing capabilities, there’s a chat feature on the browser that can take on the request, which is the first step. Here, users ask the AI agents to search the web for what they need, receive answers about a question asked, and get a summary of what the webpage they’re on is about. These features aren’t new, however. Many apps on different browsers can do them, too, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.

What the browser wants to contribute to the table is the ‘automated’ routine web tasks. It means that the Opera Neon AI agents can fill out forms, reserve hotel rooms, book flights, shop, and even create a website for the users when they’re not on their computers. The browser interacts with different websites itself and performs these tasks on its own, all the while ‘preserving users’ privacy and security,’ says the Opera team. With this, AI isn’t only a system, but the ‘chip’ that powers a group of digital, unseen robots that can complete tasks independently.

Three options: chat, do, and make

What Opera Neon feels sets it apart from other browsers is the fact that its AI agents can continue working on the users’ creation even when they go offline. People, for example, can ask the browser to make a game, a report, a snippet of code, or even a website. The ever-loyal AI agents of Opera Neon then research, design, and build all these and just forward the final output to the users. The company says that they can also ask the agents to make multiple things or work on different tasks at once. There are three options to choose from once the users are on the browser. They’re named Chat, Do, and Make. With Chat, it has the same function as ChatGPT and Gemini.

Do is the one that does the planning, booking, buying, and reserving. The team says this system understands webpages through the DOM tree and layout data, ‘not by analyzing pixels or using a virtual pointer. Because it operates natively on your browser, your data – like browsing history, logins, and cookies – stays private and local.’ Make, then, is the manifestor. It’s the one that can develop a video game or a website with a niche function like comparing stocks. When it faces problems along the way, it tries to correct and fix them itself. There’s almost no external help needed, as the company believes. These ‘hubs’ and AI agents are all present in the Opera Neon browser. A heads-up, however, that they’re only available through the company’s ‘premium subscription product.’
