The company Opera has introduced the Neon browser, which targets users who actively use AI in their daily work. Among the main features of Neon are the creation of mini-apps using AI prompts and recurring queries through the “cards” feature. The browser also offers a chatbot for answering questions and the “Neon Do” function, which allows tasks such as automatic summarization of blogs and publishing results in Slack.
Neon can retrieve information from your browsing history, such as finding details from a video on YouTube you watched last week, or from a post you read yesterday. Another feature is the ability to create your own “cards” for comparing products in different tabs or for other repetitive actions, similar to the IFTTT service. Users can use both their own and community-created “cards”.
Opera Neon allows writing code snippets, which helps create visual reports with tables and charts. Additionally, the browser has received a tool for organizing tabs called “Tasks”. It combines workspaces with AI chats and tabs, providing a separate context for each task.
At launch, Neon is available by invitation for selected users with a paid subscription of $19.99 per month. Opera positions the new product for “power users” and can compete with other AI-supported browsers such as Perplexity Comet and Dia.
