Opera has unveiled Neon, an AI-driven browser designed to transform web browsing into an agentic experience. Unlike traditional browsers that merely display content, Neon integrates AI capabilities to autonomously execute tasks and run code directly within web pages. This advancement positions Opera alongside other tech firms aiming to redefine browsers as proactive productivity tools.

Key features of Neon include:

• Neon Do: An AI agent that navigates and interacts with web pages on behalf of the user, eliminating the need for cloud-based services.

• Tasks: Customizable workspaces where users can manage AI workflows and automate repetitive actions.

• Cards: Reusable prompt templates that streamline complex tasks and enhance efficiency.

Opera emphasizes that all operations occur locally within the browser, ensuring user privacy and security. Currently, Neon is available as a subscription service with early access, and a broader rollout is expected in the coming months. 

This launch underscores the growing competition among technology companies to develop browsers that act as intelligent agents, capable of performing tasks and enhancing user productivity.
