Opera Opens Neon to Public as $19.90-a-Month Agentic AI Browser

Opera positions the release for early adopters who want rapid updates and built-in autonomous assistants powered by top-tier models.

Overview

  • The company removed the waitlist, making the AI-first browser available to anyone who subscribes and downloads it from Opera’s site.
  • Neon’s Chat, Do, and Make agents can execute multi-step tasks across tabs, drawing on browsing history to handle actions like booking travel, building sites, generating videos, and editing documents.
  • Workflow tools include Cards for reusable prompts, Tasks workspaces for organizing AI chats and tabs, and the new ODRA deep research agent with a rapid 1-minute research mode that synthesizes sources.
  • A subscription grants access to models such as Gemini 3 Pro, GPT-5.1, Veo 3.1, and Nano Banana Pro, plus entry to Opera’s Discord community and direct developer access.
  • Opera notes its other browsers still offer free AI assistants, while rivals like Google and Brave are rolling out agentic features more cautiously with added security measures and isolated profiles.
