Opera Neon AI agentic browser released in early access

In May 2025, Opera announced its agentic browser called Opera Neon AI. Now, it is available in early access.
Let’s see what the fuss is all about.
Note: This is just an FYI article, I have not tested the features. A more detailed review will be published at a later time.
Opera touts Neon as the browser built to act, designed to help power users perform various tasks on your behalf. The first of these AI-powered features is literally called Tasks. These are “self-contained workspaces”, which are sort of like profiles. Tasks are context-aware, and can perform actions, without accessing information from other tabs in your browser. For example, Opera Neon will follow your instructions to gather data from all tabs in a Task, and create notes for you. You can chat with the AI to ask follow-up questions, or anything that you require for your project, research, etc.

Neon has some Cards which are displayed in the browser, these are reusable prompts that contain instructions for the AI to follow. You can also combine cards to perform a more complex task. For instance, if you are comparing products from different tabs, you can add specific instructions to create a more comprehensive report with additional details. You can also create your own cards, or choose something from the Cards store’s community selection.

The agentic function is called Neon Do, you can use it to open, close or organize your tabs, and perform Tasks. It operates within a Task’s context. Opera says Neon Do works in the browser’s session where you’re logged into various services, and does not require sharing passwords for cloud services. Neon Do is also capable of shopping, booking, etc. It follows your prompts to visit websites, compare information across sites, fill out forms, gather data from web pages in your Task, and ask for your permission when required. For example, to make payments, or to cancel a subscription. You can manually pause the actions at any time, guide it, or even take control should you want to.
Neon has a creation tool called Make, which takes your instructions, and builds things for you. It can create websites, games, videos, reports, or tools, and all of its results come with source files that you can edit, share. Opera says that Make works when you go offline too.
Opera has taken a privacy-first approach, it says that does not collect data to train the AI. All logins and payments stay on-device, and the data is automatically cleared after 30 days. The servers powering Neon are hosted in Europe.
Google Chrome, Comet, Dia have all launched agentic AI browser agents, so there is already some competition for Opera Neon. I don’t think the average user is going to benefit from these browser agents.
As I mentioned earlier, Opera Neon AI is not free, it is a premium subscription-based browser. You can join the waitlist at https://www.operaneon.com/ for access to it.
