TLDR: Opera is set to significantly upgrade its free, native AI tools across its flagship Opera One and Opera GX browsers, offering faster models, improved integration, and higher usage limits. This move complements the recent launch of Opera Neon, a new premium browser featuring ‘agentic AI’ designed for advanced users to delegate complex tasks and automate web interactions.
OSLO, Norway – October 3, 2025 – Opera [NASDAQ: OPRA], a prominent global browser and AI agent company, today announced a substantial enhancement to its free browser AI portfolio. These upgrades are poised to deliver a more robust and integrated artificial intelligence experience for hundreds of millions of users of its flagship Opera One and Opera GX browsers, alongside other offerings like Opera Air and its mobile browsers on Android and iOS.
Since May 2023, Opera users have benefited from Aria, the company’s free AI assistant, which is powered by a combination of OpenAI’s GPT models and Google’s Gemini models. The upcoming upgrades, slated for rollout in the coming weeks, will introduce several key improvements to Aria and the overall free AI experience. Users can expect faster AI models, deeper browser integration, increased usage limits, and even access to open-source local models, broadening the scope and efficiency of AI assistance within their daily browsing.
This strategic enhancement of its free AI tools coincides with the recent launch of Opera Neon, a new premium browser offering. Opera Neon is built around ‘agentic AI,’ a sophisticated form of artificial intelligence that allows users to move beyond basic conversational AI. With Neon, users can delegate complex tasks directly to the browser, enabling AI agents to operate within the context of multiple parallel projects. This includes navigating the web on the user’s behalf, checking various sites, filling out forms, conducting research, and automating repetitive tasks, thereby streamlining workflows for power users.
Krystian Kolondra, EVP Browsers at Opera, emphasized the company’s dual approach to AI integration. “Our users already have access to free AI built directly into their browsers. That AI is about to get a powerful upgrade,” Kolondra stated. “Should they need more advanced capabilities like agentic browsing and task delegation, the premium Opera Neon product offers them a seamless upgrade path.” He further highlighted Opera’s ability to sustainably deliver both free and premium AI experiences, leveraging its extensive browser expertise and proven monetization strategies.
