Opera Launches Browser Operator for Streamlining Online Tasks

Opera's Browser Operator

Opera has launched a new AI tool called Browser Operator that can help users complete tasks on various websites, making online activities easier and faster.

Demo Showcases AI Capabilities

In a demo, Opera demonstrated the AI finding socks at Walmart, buying football tickets, and booking flights and hotels, highlighting its versatility across websites.

Unclear Scope of Browser Operator's Functionality

While the AI performs well on individual sites, it's uncertain whether it can handle broader tasks like searching for the cheapest flights across multiple platforms.

Competition in the AI Browser Space

Opera claims Browser Operator offers more security since it works directly on the device. However, other companies like OpenAI, The Browser Company, and Perplexity are also introducing AI-driven browser tools, intensifying competition in this space.
