Will your next browser be AI-enabled? AI-first? Perhaps even an AI agent?
In this episode of TechFirst, John Koetsier sits down with Henrik Lexow, Senior Product Leader at Opera, to explore Opera Neon, a big step toward agentic browsers that think, act, and create alongside you.
(And buy stuff you want, simply hard problems, and do some of your work for you.)
Opera’s new browser integrates real AI agents capable of executing multi-step tasks, interacting with web apps, summarizing content, and even building playable games or interactive tools, all inside your browser.

• Opera’s vision for personal, on-device, privacy-aligned AI
