Opera's New Neon Browser Can Code for You

Opera has announced a new browser called Opera Neon, which is made to add AI-driven workflows and automate tasks for users. The browser is currently behind a waitlist, and Opera says that users will need to subscribe to use it once it launches; pricing details have not yet been shared.
Opera Neon is said to have three new buttons on its sidebar: Chat, Do, and Make.
The Chat button gives users a chatbot interface that can search the web, answer questions, and give more information about the web pages being viewed.
The Do button uses Opera’s Browser Operator AI agent, which was first announced in March. This agent is said to be able to fill out forms, book trips, and handle other tasks directly within the browser.
The Make button lets users create games, websites, code snippets, reports, and more through text prompts. Opera says these AI workflows are handled using a virtual machine in the cloud, which means Neon can work on tasks even if the user goes offline and can run quite a few tasks at the same time.
Other companies, such as The Browser Company and Google, are also developing browsers that use AI agents to perform tasks for users and provide search results.
Opera has not shared a launch date for Neon or given details about subscription pricing. The company says that basic browsing and some AI functions will remain free, but users will need to pay for the full set of AI-powered tools. Neon is currently available only through a waitlist, with a public beta likely to come later in 2025, as reported by TechCrunch.
