Opera Launches Its AI-Centric Neon Browser To Redefine Browsing
Opera launches its AI-centric Neon browser, bringing a new era of AI-driven web experiences. Unlike traditional browsers, Neon is built around prompts, automation, and agentic AI features designed to make everyday browsing smarter and more efficient.

With Neon, Opera joins a growing wave of companies like Perplexity and The Browser Company that are pushing toward the future of agentic browsing. But Opera’s twist is a strong focus on personalization and workflow automation.
What Makes Opera Neon Different?
At its core, Neon isn’t just another browser with a chatbot. It’s a platform that blends browsing with AI assistance. Users can interact with a built-in chatbot for quick answers or rely on Neon Do, an advanced agentic feature that gets things done for you.
For example, Neon Do can summarize a Substack blog and post it directly to your Slack channel. It can also retrieve context from your browsing history—like pulling details from a YouTube video you watched last week or a post you read yesterday. This makes Neon feel more like a digital assistant than a standard browser.
Key Features Of Opera Neon
-
AI Prompt Apps: Create mini-apps through simple AI prompts.
-
Cards System: Save repeatable prompts for future use.
-
Agentic Automation: Summarize, fetch, and share content across apps.
-
Code Assistance: Generate snippets of code for visual reports, charts, and tables.
These features aim to blur the line between browsing and productivity, helping users work smarter without constantly switching apps.
Pricing And Availability
Opera first teased Neon back in May, but it was only available in a closed preview. Now, the company is rolling out invites to early adopters. Access to Opera Neon will cost $19.99 per month, making it a premium AI-centric browsing experience.
According to Krystian Kolondra, EVP Browsers at Opera, “We built Opera Neon for ourselves — and for everyone who uses AI extensively in their day-to-day. Today, we’re welcoming the first users who will help shape the future of agentic browsing with us.”
Why Opera Neon Matters
The launch signals a shift in how browsers are evolving. Instead of just being a gateway to the web, Opera Neon positions itself as a productivity hub powered by AI. If successful, it could inspire a new wave of AI-first browsers that do more than load pages—they actively help users complete tasks.
With its blend of automation, prompts, and premium features, Opera Neon is Opera’s bold bet on where browsing is headed in 2025 and beyond.
