Opera Neon officially launched, an AI Browser With Cards, Tasks, and Agentic Features

Opera has officially launched Opera Neon, its new AI browser built for users who rely heavily on artificial intelligence to streamline their daily workflows. With Neon, Opera is betting on “agentic browsing” — a system where AI doesn’t just answer questions but actively helps users complete tasks across the web.

The browser, which costs $19.99 per month, is now rolling out invites to select users after months of closed preview testing.

“We built Opera Neon for ourselves – and for everyone who uses AI extensively in their day-to-day,” said Krystian Kolondra, EVP Browsers at Opera. “Today, we’re welcoming the first users who will help shape the future of agentic browsing with us.”

Key Features of Opera Neon

Opera Neon introduces several innovative AI-powered tools that aim to set it apart from traditional browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Edge:

  • Chatbot Assistant – A built-in conversational AI to answer questions and provide insights.
  • Neon Do – A task automation feature that can summarize a blog post and share it directly to Slack, or fetch details from your browsing history.
  • AI Coding & Reports – Neon can generate snippets of code, making it easy to build visual reports with tables and charts.
  • Cards System – Similar to The Browser Company’s “Skills,” cards let you create repeatable AI prompts. For example, combining “pull-details” and “comparison-table” cards can automate product comparisons across tabs.
  • Tasks Workspace – A tab organization system that groups AI chats and tabs into contained workspaces, similar to Arc Browser’s workspaces.

Opera even demoed Neon performing real-world tasks like ordering groceries, though it remains to be seen how reliably it works outside controlled demos.

Positioning Against Competitors

With Neon, Opera is joining a growing list of companies experimenting with AI-first browsers, including Perplexity’s Comet and The Browser Company’s Dia. Unlike free AI browser features from Google and Microsoft, Opera is targeting power users willing to pay a monthly subscription for advanced automation.

This move could help Opera carve out a niche in the evolving browser market, where agentic AI is quickly becoming the next competitive battleground.
