Opera Introduces Browser Operator, a Revolutionary AI Assistant for Browsing Tasks

Intelligence: Opera, the Norwegian browser company, announced the launch of the Browser Operator, an AI agent designed to automate browsing tasks, granting users more time to engage with their interests and activities.

  • The Browser Operator represents a significant change in how browsers function, moving from being mere display tools to acting as intelligent assistants that complete tasks on behalf of users.

  • Users can utilize natural language to describe tasks (e.g., "buy 10 pairs of white tennis socks from Nike in size 12"), and the Browser Operator executes these tasks while keeping users informed of the process.

  • The system allows users to monitor the taskโ€™s progress and offers the ability to take control or cancel at any time. Unlike other agentic browsing solutions, Operaโ€™s approach prioritizes user privacy by running tasks locally within the browser, avoiding reliance on cloud computing or data capture methods.

  • Opera has a legacy of innovation, previously pioneering features such as browser tabs, address bar search, and built-in VPNs. Its recent AI-centric redesign and ongoing AI Feature Drops program aim to bring new functionalities to users regularly.

  • Currently, the Browser Operator is available as a preview, with plans to integrate it into future AI feature drops.
