Opera wants its new Neon browser to automate everything in your life

Opera is officially launching its agentic AI browser, Neon, delivering the fully integrated artificial intelligence experience the company has teased throughout 2025.

It's launching into a competitive space. Agentic AI browsers are a hot topic currently, with several other tech outfits also launching agentic browsers this year. Perplexity's Comet, The Browser Company's Dia, and Fellou AI Browser are all competing for screen time, each claiming to be the best. This is before ChatGPT launches its long-awaited AI-powered browser, which is sure to capture a significant market share.

Opera Neon, then, has a stiff battle on its hands—but it has a few handy features designed to help elevate it above the rest of the agentic AI browser field.

Opera Neon will automate everything for you

All you need to do is ask

The whole idea behind agentic AI browsers is that they can complete the tasks you don't want to bother with. Basically, you ask Neon to do something, and it immediately starts work on the task, automating the process and leaving you free to get on with something else.

That's the whole idea of agentic AI browsing. Don't spend time on tasks that can be automated; let the integrated artificial intelligence handle them for you. It's all part of Opera Neon Do, which can open and close tabs, perform actions, scroll, interact, and more.

In that, you can ask it to perform a number of tasks simultaneously, using what Opera is calling Tasks to keep your various requests organized. In Neon, you can open one main task (like a tab), then open a series of subtabs relating to it below. The AI will then use the collective information from those tabs to complete whatever request has been made.

The Tasks can span multiple sites and act across multiple sources, but the dedicated tabs remain siloed within that task. If you open a new Task while Neon works on one, it won't suddenly disrupt what it was doing. They're separate entities within the browser.

I also like the idea of Opera Neon's Cards. These are preprogrammed prompts you can use to complete specific tasks, spanning a wide range of scenarios. They're a little like IFTTT recipes, in that you can combine them into more complex arrangements, customize the prompts, and use Cards created by the wider community.

At the time of writing, the community element isn't quite up and running, but Opera assures me this will be one of the first new features that gets up and running, along with systems like upvoting to help you find the best Cards.

Opera Neon's AI agentic automations aren't free

How much will you pay for an agentic AI browser?

When I first saw Opera's Operator demo (part of Neon's underlying tech), it was still pretty raw. It's clearly come a long way since then. It's now a fully fledged agentic AI browser that can open and manage your tabs, take tasks to completion with little human interaction, and work without issues.

It's a complete solution.

The big question surrounds pricing. While Opera is launching Neon, you'll have to join a waitlist to get your hands on it. And even then, Opera Neon isn't a free service. Those with access to Opera Neon are set to pay $19.90 per month—around the 20 buck mark most AI services have hit upon.
