Recently, Opera, the renowned browser developer, has officially rolled out its cutting-edge AI-driven browser, Neon. Earlier, the browser had been undergoing a closed preview phase and has now commenced the process of dispatching invitations to a select group of users. These chosen users will be required to pay a monthly subscription fee of $19.99 to access and utilize the browser.
Neon stands out with its remarkable capability to craft applications through AI-generated prompts and produce reusable prompts for future use. It is equipped with an integrated chatbot, and its 'Neon Do' feature is designed to aid users in accomplishing a diverse range of tasks. This includes summarizing the essence of blog posts, extracting key information from videos and articles, and even generating code snippets.
Moreover, Neon introduces a 'Card' feature that allows for personalized customization, enabling users to tailor their browsing experience to their preferences. It also incorporates a 'Task' function, which is instrumental in organizing tabs efficiently. Opera has positioned Neon as a premium product tailored for advanced users, adopting a subscription-based model. In doing so, it positions itself in direct competition with offerings such as Perplexity's Comet and Dia.
