A new web browser from Opera promises to finish your digital chores while you rest. The company just announced Opera Neon, an “AI helper browser” that builds websites, writes code, and books trips automatically. You tell it what you need before bed, and wake up to find the task done.
This experimental browser is not available yet. Opera opened a waitlist for curious users to try it first. If Neon works as described, it could change how millions work and play online.
Three Superpowers of Opera Neon
Your Talking Assistant
Neon has a built-in chat friend. Ask it anything while browsing. “Explain this science article.” “Translate this menu.” “Find fun facts about dolphins.” It reads webpages like a person to give helpful answers.
Your Personal Task Robot
Tired of filling forms or shopping online? Neon handles boring jobs. Tell it “Book a flight to Paris next Tuesday” or “Order dog food from my favorite store.” It clicks buttons and types for you while you relax.
Your Overnight Builder
Need a birthday website or a simple game? Say “Make a spaceship game for kids” before closing your laptop. Neon’s cloud robots keep working offline. Wake up to find your project ready. Opera showed Neon ordering flowers successfully with one command.
How Opera Keeps You Safe
Privacy First Design
Neon does not spy on your screen. It reads websites like a blind person uses audio cues understanding structure, not images. Your passwords stay locked inside your device.
No Strangers See Your Data
Unlike some AI tools, Neon does not send your requests to unknown companies. Personal tasks happen privately in your browser.
When Can You Try Opera Neon?
Neon is currently invite-only. Signing up on Opera’s website puts you in line for access. Opera hasn’t announced pricing yet, but confirmed it will be a paid “premium” service. Free web browsing will stay available without the AI features.
This marks Opera’s fifth browser experiment. Their previous “Air” browser focused on meditation breaks. The Neon name was used in 2017 for a colorful concept that never launched widely. This new AI version aims higher.
Who Benefits Most?
Opera Neon could help many people if it works well. Busy parents might have it research homework projects overnight. Small shop owners could get simple websites built while sleeping. Travel lovers might wake up to fully planned vacations.
As Opera’s AI director, Henrik Lexow shared, “AI can change how we use the internet.” Instead of being a tool you operate, Neon wants to be a helpful friend that operates for you.
