Opera's portfolio of browsers is getting a new one today. Opera Neon (the name will sound familiar to long-term Opera users) is the company's first "AI agentic" browser, designed to "rethink the role of the browser" in the agentic web. Developers claim Neon understands users' intent and turns it into action using AI-powered capabilities.
Opera Neon consists of three main parts: Neon Chat, Do, and Make. Neon Chat is a chatbot that can search the web, provide contextual information about the current tab, and perform other things that modern chatbots like Copilot or ChatGPT can do. Neon Do is the evolution of "Browser Operator" that Opera introduced earlier this year. It can understand the website's content and perform actions on your behalf, like filling forms, booking trips, and shopping, with all the AI processing happening locally.
Finally, Neon Make is what Opera calls "something never seen in any browser before." Neon Make uses the cloud to perform complex tasks for you, such as generating reports, prototyping games, building web apps, or even hosting and sharing them with other users. Neon Make can also write code for you when you are offline, so you can ask it to do something while you are traveling, sleeping or doing other things offline.
Opera adds that privacy is a big part of Neon. It can browse the internet with you and understand pages using the DOM tree and layout data, not by analyzing pixels or a virtual pointer. Besides improving privacy, this approach makes the system faster and more efficient.
With Neon, gone are the days when the lack of technical know-how was a complete blocker to the things you could create on the web. This new agentic technology is here to help you create, to take your ideas and turn them into something digitally tangible and shareable – all from within the Opera Neon browser.
However, unlike other AI capabilities in modern Opera browsers, Neon Make is not free. Today, Opera is opening the waitlist for early adopters, and more information about it will be shared in the future.
