Introducing Opera Neon: The First Agentic AI Browser
Opera has unveiled Opera Neon, a revolutionary new agentic AI browser that promises to transform the way we interact with the web. Unlike traditional browsers that simply display content, Opera Neon acts as an intelligent partner—understanding your intentions, automating tasks, and even creating content on your behalf.
What Is an Agentic Browser?
The defining feature of Opera Neon is its agentic AI core, which allows the browser to do much more than just fetch search results. Neon can interpret user commands and translate them into actions. Whether you’re planning travel, shopping, writing reports, coding, or designing websites, Neon handles these tasks locally and securely—thinking ahead even when you’re offline.
Three Pillars: Chat • Do • Make
Opera Neon’s functionality is organized into three key modes: Chat, Do, and Make.
Chat: This built-in AI assistant understands the context of the webpages you visit. It can explain content, summarize articles, generate images or files, and help with writing—all without leaving the browser window.
Do: Powered by Opera’s proprietary “Browser Operator” technology, Do automates routine web tasks. Neon can fill out forms, book flights, shop online, or make reservations by directly analyzing page structures on your device, ensuring speed and privacy.
Make: The most ambitious of the three, Make mode leverages cloud-hosted AI agents running in virtual machines. These agents can build games, websites, reports, or code snippets according to your instructions. Even if you close the browser, these cloud agents continue working—self-correcting, installing frameworks, or debugging as needed.
Why Opera Neon Matters
Opera Neon heralds a new era for web browsers, ushering in the so-called “agentic web” or Web 4o, where AI agents actively browse, automate, and build on behalf of users. By embedding AI deeply into the browser, Opera shifts browsing from a passive activity to an active, agent-driven experience.
Another key advantage is Opera Neon’s privacy-first approach. Instead of routing all data through cloud servers, Neon processes interactions locally by interpreting page DOMs directly on your device. This design ensures fast, secure performance while keeping your data private.
Moreover, Opera Neon democratizes digital creation. Users don’t need coding skills or technical expertise to build websites, games, or reports. Simply describe what you want, and the AI orchestrates multiple agents to create it, removing traditional barriers to digital product development.
Subscription-Based and Early Access
Opera Neon launches as a premium subscription service available via a waitlist. Early adopters are encouraged to sign up to secure access to this groundbreaking AI browser.
A Fresh Take on Opera’s Legacy
The Neon name is not new to Opera. Back in 2017, Opera released a concept browser called Neon that experimented with innovative designs like floating tabs and split screens. While that earlier version never launched officially, many of its ideas influenced Opera’s subsequent products. The new Opera Neon revives the name with a major twist: embedding agentic AI at its core.
Is Opera Neon Right for You?
If you want more than just a standard browsing experience—if you seek an AI collaborator that can automate repetitive tasks and create digital content—Opera Neon could be a perfect fit. It’s ideal for digital creators, developers, researchers, and productivity enthusiasts. However, casual users may find the premium subscription unnecessary.
Final Thoughts: The Future of Browsing Starts Here
Opera Neon represents a bold reimagining of the browser as a partner, creator, and taskmaster. With robust AI features in Chat, Do, and Make modes, this agentic browser is poised to redefine how we interact with the internet. The waitlist is now open—join today and experience a new era of browsing.
