Overview

  • Opera Neon centers on three core functions—Chat for AI-driven conversation and search, Do for automating interactions like form filling and bookings, and Make for generating websites, code and games from plain-English prompts.
  • A cloud-based virtual machine runs Opera Neon's AI agents, enabling parallel task execution even when users are offline.
  • Neon's AI operator handles actions such as shopping and reservation management entirely within the browser to safeguard user privacy and security.
  • The new browser builds on Opera’s March introduction of Browser Operator and follows Google’s Shopping Mode reveal at I/O as part of a broader shift toward AI-enhanced browsing.
  • Access is currently limited to a waitlist, with Neon set to launch as a premium subscription product at an undisclosed date and price.
