It’s not just search engines and chatbots getting AI makeovers these days. Web browsers want in on the revolution.
Opera, the company behind the web browser, unveiled a new update, Browser Operator, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday that automates tasks for users. In what’s believed to be the first agentic AI web browser, the company said in a tweet it is “previewing a browser AI agent that gets shit done for you.”
“Browser Operator takes AI out of the chatbot and integrates it directly into the browsing flow,” the company said in a blog post. “This aligns with the broader role of the browser: it’s there to make you more powerful while you’re online, browsing the web, and to give you the tools to use your time more effectively.”
