Opera wants its new Neon browser to automate everything in your life

Opera officially launched its Agentic AI browser, Neon, which delivers a fully integrated artificial intelligence experience that the company has been teasing all the way back in 2025.

 

The app is entering a competitive market. Agentic AI browsers are a hot topic right now, with several other tech companies launching Agentic browsers this year. Perplexity's Comet, The Browser Company's Dia, and Fellou AI Browser are all vying for screen time, each claiming to be the best option. This comes before ChatGPT launches its long-awaited AI-powered browser, which is sure to capture a significant market share.

So Opera Neon has an uphill battle ahead of it – but it has a few handy features designed to give it an edge over other Agentic AI browsers.

Opera Neon automates everything for you

All you need to do is make a request

 

The whole idea behind Agentic AI browsers is that they can complete tasks that you don't want to bother with. Basically, you tell Neon to do something, and it immediately starts doing the task, automating the process and leaving you free to do other things.

That's the whole idea of ​​AI-powered browsing. Don't waste time on tasks that can be automated; let the built-in AI handle them for you. It's all in Opera Neon Do, a feature that can open and close tabs, perform actions, scroll, interact, and more.

You can ask Neon Do to perform multiple tasks at once, using what Opera calls Tasks to organize your different requests. In Neon, you can open a main task (like a tab), then open a series of sub-tabs related to that task underneath. The AI ​​will then use the aggregated information from those tabs to complete whatever request is made.

Tasks can span multiple sites and run on multiple sources, but dedicated tabs remain separate within that task. If you open a new Task while Neon is working on a task, it won't suddenly interrupt your work. They're separate entities in the browser.

 

Opera Neon also has a great idea for Cards. These are pre-programmed prompts that you can use to complete specific tasks, spanning a variety of situations. They're a bit like IFTTT recipes, in that you can combine them into more complex arrangements, customize prompts, and use Cards created by the wider community.

At the time of writing, the community element is still incomplete, but Opera assures that it will be one of the first new features to go live, along with systems like voting to help you find the best Cards.

Opera Neon's AI automation isn't free

How much would you pay for an AI browser?

When Opera's Operator (part of Neon's underlying technology) demo first launched, it was still pretty rudimentary. It's clearly come a long way since then. It's now a fully fledged AI browser that can open and manage tabs, complete tasks without much human interaction, and run smoothly.

This is a complete solution.

The big issue is pricing. While Opera is rolling out Neon, you'll have to join a waiting list to get it. And even then, Opera Neon isn't free. Those who get access to Opera Neon will have to pay $19.90 a month—the same price as most other AI services.
