A limited number of people will get to try out Opera’s AI browser, Neon, starting today for $19.90 per month.Â
The Norwegian software company first announced the “agentic browser” in May, but details were sparse. Now, we know that Opera Neon includes different AI agents that are tailored to specific tasks. One simply called Tasks acts as a workspace dedicated to a specific activity. Another called Do does the actual web browsing within a Task. Users can save prompt instructions for the AI agents into something called Cards.Â
The rollout is limited to an unspecified number of users for now; the rest will need to join the waitlist.Â
While the company calls Neon the “next generation AI browser,” other AI browsers have come online in the past few months. In July, Perplexity launched its Comet browser, quickly followed by OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent. This month, Atlassian bought The Browser Company, which makes the Dia browser, and Google released new Gemini-enabled features for Chrome.
