Opera Neon Browser Generates Websites, Games Using Simple Text

Opera has introduced Neon, an artificial intelligence-powered web browser developed to carry out complex online functions, including the creation of websites and games, using simple text commands. This release positions Opera within the expanding AI-enhanced browser market.

The browser features three primary AI-driven functions—Chat, Do, and Make. ‘Chat’ allows users to retrieve information and conduct searches through a conversational interface. ‘Do’ automates user tasks such as filling forms or reserving accommodations via Opera’s Browser Operator engine. The most advanced module, ‘Make’, enables the generation of games, websites, reports, and code snippets from user input. These processes run on cloud-hosted virtual machines, facilitating offline operation.

Neon builds on Opera's existing AI infrastructure, which includes the Aria assistant, co-developed with OpenAI, and the Browser Operator system. Aria enables text and code generation through natural language prompts. Introduced earlier this year, Browser Operator demonstrated capabilities for automating online shopping and travel-related tasks.

Opera has highlighted that Neon is designed to prioritize data privacy. Unlike traditional web tools that send data to remote servers, Browser Operator handles operations locally on the device. This approach aims to enhance both security and response speed.

Opera’s new product enters a competitive space shared with companies like Google and Microsoft, which are also integrating generative AI into their browsers. However, Opera differentiates Neon by focusing on autonomous task execution and privacy-first design.

Currently, Neon is available on a waitlist basis. A premium subscription model is planned, though exact pricing has not been released.
