Opera Announces Neon — a Browser That Books Tickets and Creates Projects on Its Own
Arkadiy Andrienko
The company has introduced a test version of the new Neon browser, positioning it as a platform for «agent-based» interaction with the internet. Unlike standard browsers, Neon relies on three built-in AI modules capable of not only searching for information but also performing actions on the user’s behalf.
Key Features:
- Neon Chat: Similar to chatbots like ChatGPT or Copilot, it helps find data, explains the content of pages, and suggests actions, taking into account the context of the open tab.
- Neon Do: An evolution of the Browser Operator technology, this module automates routine actions on websites, such as filling out forms, making purchases, booking tickets, or hotels. The key difference is that data processing occurs locally in the browser, without being sent to Opera servers, which is позиционируя as a more secure and private solution.
- Neon Make: The most unusual feature, it allows you to create projects based on descriptions, such as games, websites, reports, or code snippets. Generation takes place in the Opera cloud, allowing it to work even when the user’s computer is turned off.
Technically, Opera states that Neon interacts with websites differently than its competitors. Instead of analyzing screenshots (which can be slow and inaccurate), it uses the text representation of web pages (DOM structure and «a11y» accessibility data), which should improve the speed and accuracy of AI agents, especially in the «Do» module.
Neon is currently in alpha testing. Interested users can sign up for the waiting list. Opera refers to Neon as a «premium subscription product». Basic browser functions and, presumably, the Chat and Do modules will remain free. According to Opera, fees will be charged for advanced «agent capabilities», primarily for using the Neon Make module.
The exact subscription cost and release date have not been announced yet. Neon becomes the fifth browser in the Opera lineup, following the recently introduced Opera Air, which focuses on reducing digital stress. The new product will test whether users are willing to pay for a browser that can partially replace them online.
