Opera Launches Opera Neon: A New AI Agentic Browser for the Next Web
Opera, the Norwegian browser company has announced the launch of Opera Neon, an innovative new browser that leverages agentic AI to reshape how we interact with the web.
A culmination of years of development, Opera Neon is designed to not only understand users’ intent but also act on it, performing tasks on their behalf and transforming ideas into tangible results.
Henrik Lexow, Senior AI Product Director at Opera, “We’re at a point where AI can fundamentally change the way we use the internet and perform all sorts of tasks in the browser. Opera Neon brings this to our users’ fingertips.”
He added, “We see it as a collaborative platform to shape the next chapter of agentic browsing together with our community.”
Integrated AI Agent for a Smarter Web Experience
Opera Neon is built around a fully integrated AI agent that enhances the browsing experience. The AI assistant enables users to chat with the browser, search the web, receive reliable answers, and gather contextual information about the webpages they’re on. It’s a comprehensive system that goes beyond traditional browsing, offering more dynamic and personalized interactions.
Opera Neon also features an AI agent previously showcased as “Browser Operator,” which automates routine web tasks like filling forms, making bookings, and even shopping. This functionality allows the browser to interact with webpage content and execute tasks locally, ensuring that users’ privacy and security are protected.

Next-Level AI Creativity and Multitasking
Opera Neon doesn’t stop at traditional browsing functions. The browser introduces a groundbreaking AI engine capable of understanding and interpreting user requests, allowing it to create content such as reports, games, snippets of code, or even websites. The AI agent also operates beyond the browser, in a virtual machine hosted in the cloud, enabling users to continue their work even when offline.
Opera Neon enables true multitasking by allowing the AI to work on multiple projects simultaneously, making it a powerful tool for both productivity and creativity. Users can ask the browser to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, making it a versatile and proactive companion for navigating the digital world.
