This New AI Web Browser Can Help You Write Code, Do All Your Work And More
Last Updated: AI agents are taking over the web browser to help you do basic and complex tasks and giving you the time to focus on other stuff. Web browsers help you do the work, search for content and browse other sites. But what if they can help you with writing code for games, or even handle all your tasks? Yes, that's what Opera is promising with its new Neon AI web browser that will do more than just surfing the web. In fact, there is a good case for Opera Neon to be called as one of the AI agents that you might have heard a lot about these days. AI agents have become the talk of town recently, and AI is taking away jobs of software engineers because of how good they have become at coding. Opera Neon claims similar traits and promises that the web browser can code for you to create games, make reports and even analyse them if you ask. Like most AI tools, Opera Neon responds to basic text prompts and it can get the job done at any time. The company is relying on local and cloud-based AI tech to offer these features. AI agents are known for their multi-tasking prowess and Opera Neon will be at the top level with these tasks, especially when you are busy with something else and the job gets done. It goes without saying that Opera sees the Neon AI browser to be a premium product which means people will be charged a fee to use the platform. The company has not shared those details as of now and using Neon is limited to people who have been cleared from the waiting list to try out the beta version.

Opera Introduces AI-Powered Neon Browser That Works Even When You're Offline
Opera is gearing up to revolutionise web browsing with its upcoming AI-powered browser, Opera Neon, which promises to do much more than load websites. According to the company, Neon will be equipped with advanced artificial intelligence that can generate games, write code, create reports, and even build entire websites — all through simple user prompts. What sets Neon apart is its 'agentic browser' design. This new term refers to its ability to perform tasks autonomously using AI agents that understand instructions and act independently, without requiring ongoing user involvement. 'Users will be able to assign tasks and let Neon do the work on its own, even when they go offline,' Opera shared. The browser combines both cloud-based and on-device AI, allowing it to continue operations even when internet connectivity drops. Its AI agents are also capable of multitasking, handling several actions simultaneously—something that most standard AI tools don't currently support. A standout feature is its built-in chatbot, designed to answer questions, search the internet, and summarise information directly based on what's visible on the user's screen. This eliminates the need to switch between tabs or apps for quick tasks. Additionally, Opera is bringing back its earlier "AI Agent" tool, which first appeared in March through the "Browser Operator" feature. This tool can fill out online forms, automate bookings, and manage daily browsing routines—all while safeguarding user privacy by processing data locally. While Opera has yet to reveal a specific launch date or pricing model, it confirmed that Neon will be a premium browser, possibly locking some of its advanced AI functionalities behind a paywall. Those interested in early access can now join the waitlist for the upcoming beta release. Neon will be Opera's fifth browser, following the recent release of the Opera Air browser, which focused on minimising distractions and promoting digital wellness. Though it's still early days, the idea of a browser capable of creating, coding, and automating tasks independently is certainly catching attention. As AI continues to reshape digital experiences, Opera Neon may very well mark the beginning of a new era in web browsing.

Opera's new 'fully agentic' browser can surf the web for you
It was only earlier this year Norway's Opera released a new browser, and now it's adding yet another offering to an already crowded field. Opera is billing Neon as a "fully agentic browser." It comes with an integrated AI that can chat with users and surf the web on their behalf. Compared to competing agents, the company says Neon is faster and more efficient at navigating the internet on its own due to the fact it parses webpages by analyzing their layout data. Building on Opera's recent preview of Browser Operator, Neon can also complete tasks for you, like filling out a form or doing some online shopping. The more you use Neon to write, the more it will learn your personal style and adapt to it. All of this happens locally, in order to ensure user data remains private. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Additionally, Neon can make things for you, including websites, animations and even game prototypes, according to Opera. If you ask Neon to build something particularly complicated or time-consuming, it can continue the task even when you're offline. This part of the browser's feature set depends on a connection to Opera's servers in Europe where privacy laws are more robust than in North America. "Opera Neon is the first step towards fundamentally re-imagining what a browser can be in the age of intelligent agents," the company says. If all of this sounds familiar, it's because other companies, including Google and OpenAI, have been working on similar products. In the case of Google, the search giant began previewing Project Mariner, an extension that adds a web-surfing agent to Chrome, last December. OpenAI, similarly, has been working on its own "Operator" mode since the start of the year. Neon, therefore, sees Opera attempting to position itself as an innovator in hopes of claiming market share, but the company has a difficult task ahead. According to data from StatCounter, only about 2.09 percent of internet users use Opera to access the web. Chrome, by contrast, commands a dominant 66.45 percent of the market. That's a hard hill to climb when your competitors are working on similar features. It's also worth asking if an agentic browser is something people really want. Opera suggests Neon is smart enough to book a trip for you. That sounds great in theory, but what if the agent makes an error and books the wrong connecting flight. A certain amount of friction ensures users pay attention and check things on their own. If you want to try Neon for yourself, you can join the wait list.

Opera announces Opera Neon, the first AI agentic browser
OSLO, Norway, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Opera, the Norwegian browser company [NASDAQ: OPRA], is announcing Opera Neon, a new agentic browser that rethinks the role of the browser in the coming generation of the AI agentic web. A result of years of development, Opera Neon is a browser that can understand users' intent and perform tasks for them as well as bring their ideas and needs to life on the web. To achieve this, Opera Neon introduces agentic AI browsing capabilities that go beyond traditional browsing and turn user intent into action. "We're at a point where AI can fundamentally change the way we use the internet and perform all sorts of tasks in the browser. Opera Neon brings this to our users' fingertips," said Henrik Lexow, Senior AI Product Director at Opera. "We see it as a collaborative platform to shape the next chapter of agentic browsing together with our community." Opera Neon's users can chat using the browser's native, fully integrated AI agent that allows them to search the web, get reliable answers and contextual information to the webpage they are on, and access most of the functions they have come to expect from an AI chat in a browser. Opera Neon also comes with an AI agent previously showcased as "Browser Operator." This gives users the opportunity to automate routine web tasks (like filling forms, making hotel bookings, and even shopping), and have the browser do them by understanding and interacting with the content of web pages. Neon performs these tasks locally in the browser – preserving users' privacy and security. Finally, Opera Neon allows the early adopter community to try out something never before seen in a browser – a complete AI engine capable of understanding and interpreting what they want to make, and creating it for them. Neon employs AI agents that work beyond the browser – in a virtual machine hosted in the cloud – and can continue working on the users' creation even when they go offline. Opera Neon users can, for example, ask the browser to make a game, a report, a snippet of code, or even a website – it will research, design, and build whatever users need. Opera Neon can even be asked to make multiple things at the same time – enabling true agentic multitasking right in the browser. Opera Neon is a premium subscription product.
