Opera Unveils Neon: An AI-Powered Browser for Power Users

Introducing Opera Neon: The Next-Gen AI Browser

Opera has launched Neon, its new browser designed specifically for users who want to harness the full potential of AI in their daily web activities. With advanced AI-driven features and a focus on productivity, Neon aims to provide a smarter, more agentic browsing experience for professionals and tech-savvy users.

What Makes Opera Neon Different?

Neon stands out with its unique blend of AI capabilities, offering:

  • AI-Powered App Creation: Use natural language prompts to build mini-apps, automate workflows, or generate code snippets directly in the browser.
  • Repeatable AI Prompts (Cards): Organize and reuse tasks with a feature called "Cards." Think of it as the AI equivalent of IFTTT—combine actions like "pull-details" and "comparison-table" to quickly compare products or gather insights across tabs.
  • Neon Do: An agentic feature that completes tasks for you, such as summarizing articles and posting them to Slack, or retrieving details from past browsing sessions.
  • Integrated Chatbot: Get instant answers, explanations, or summaries through a built-in conversational AI.
  • Tab Organization with Tasks: Group AI chats and browser tabs into "Tasks"—dedicated workspaces that keep your projects and conversations organized, inspired by features from Arc’s Workspaces and Tab Groups.

Who Is Neon For?

Opera is positioning Neon for "power users"—those who regularly use AI to optimize their workflow or manage complex web tasks. The browser is currently invite-only and comes with a monthly subscription fee of $19.99, targeting professionals and businesses seeking advanced automation and AI integration in their browsing experience.

How Does Neon Compare to Other AI Browsers?

With competitors like Perplexity’s Comet and The Browser Company’s Dia, Opera Neon enters a rapidly evolving market. While big tech companies such as Google and Microsoft are integrating AI features into their browsers, Opera’s subscription-based Neon is tailored for users who want deeper customization, automation, and control over their browsing environment.

Key Features at a Glance

  • Natural language app and workflow creation
  • Reusable prompt cards for automation
  • AI-powered content summarization and sharing
  • Dedicated workspaces for projects and AI conversations
  • Code generation for data visualization and reporting

What’s Next?

Opera has begun sending out invites to select users. As the AI browser landscape matures, it remains to be seen how well Neon’s ambitious features will perform in real-world scenarios and if it can deliver on its promise of agentic browsing for power users.
