With "Browser Operator", an artificial intelligence-powered agent designed to perform online tasks for you, Opera is redefining the user experience, offering much more than just access to information.
Technological innovation: the browser becomes an actor
Historically, browsers have always been passive, facilitating access to the internet without directly intervening in the user's actions. Opera's Browser Operator radically changes this dynamic. This new tool can handle various digital tasks on websites, from finding the best deals on socks to booking tickets for a football match or organizing a complete trip, including hotel and flights.
The power of this agent lies in its ability to manage these processes natively from the browser itself, ensuring greater speed and security. Unlike other AI agents that operate primarily via virtual environments like the cloud, Browser Operator processes all its data locally on the user's device. This approach not only guarantees significant time savings but also strengthens the confidentiality of personal information, according to internal sources at Opera.
Innovative operation: what sets Browser Operator apart?
Browser Operator innovates with its ability to operate autonomously, responding to simple text commands. Want to book a flight without wasting time comparing prices? Simply indicate your preferences, such as flight times, preferred seats, and your budget. The AI will take care of everything in the background, adding the selected ticket to your cart as soon as it's ready.
Unlike traditional digital assistants like ChatGPT, which simply synthesize search results or answer questions, Opera's agent actually performs navigation and actions for the user. This autonomy marks a major step towards what Krystian Kolondra, Executive Vice President at Opera, describes as a "new era" for web browsers.
A secure outlook for the digital future
At a time when data privacy and security are at the forefront of concerns, Opera emphasizes that Browser Operator strictly respects privacy. By processing requests locally and avoiding capturing screenshots or videos of your screen, the agent significantly reduces the risks associated with sensitive data leakage.
This commitment to security strongly distinguishes Opera from its competitors who rely more on cloud-based architectures. The company thus offers peace of mind to its users while taking advantage of the rise of task automation made possible by artificial intelligence.
Towards a democratization of automated tools
After a series of innovations focused on the integration of AI, some of which date back to earlier versions of the browser dedicated to improving the user experience, Opera continues its tireless journey towards the democratization of access to advanced digital technology. Fully localized environments and transparent designs are integral to their strategy to encourage massive user adoption of their new technologies.
Other large companies, while already exploring these elements in various formats, have not yet offered solutions as embedded within the users' own browsing system. Therefore, Opera seems to be firmly positioned at the forefront of this behavioral revolution towards efficient and secure automation of everyday interactions on the web.
