Summary

  • Norwegian web browser maker Opera has released a new browser featuring an in-built artificial intelligence (AI) that can carry out background tasks, such as researching and booking travel tickets.
  • Dubbed Opera Neon, the new offering also features an AI agent that can understand and interact with web pages, and work offline.
  • The firm says the AI agent will be able to make simpler games and other tasks at a user’s request.
  • Currently, the browser is being offered on an invitation-only basis, with a full launch expected soon.
  • “Neon is not a replacement for our existing browsers… it is a playground for us to innovate and experiment,” said the firm’s head of AI.
