Just over three months ago, I managed to get a sneak peek at Opera Neon's AI tools. The build I got was a very basic, work-in-progress service, but it was still enough for me to remaster the game of Snake for modern audiences using the browser's "Make" mode. And while I was really impressed with what I managed even in a WIP state, I was a little sad that the browser wasn't ready for release at the time.

Well, fast forward today, and Opera Neon is finally ready for people to use. And not only has the team managed to refine the tools I already loved, but they've gone ahead and added even more features that I'm keen to try out.

Opera Neon is now open for people to use

In an emailed press release, Opera revealed everything that's available with Neon's general release. The three main AI assistants—Chat, Do, and Make—are all present. If you need a refresher, Chat acts as your standard AI chatbot, Do allows you to automate tasks within your browser (such as buying a 20-pack of socks on Amazon), and Make allows you to build things. Make was my favorite feature, as you could give it something big to chew over, close Opera Neon, and then come back later to see its progress as it works away in the cloud.

However, there is a new feature called Cards:

Opera Neon also features Cards, which are reusable prompt instructions that you can use and combine. It’s like having a deck of your favorite AI behaviors ready to use when you need them. Comparing products across tabs? Add "thepull-details+comparison-tablecards" to your prompt. Or if you’re taking meeting notes, combine "thekey-decisions+action-items+follow-ups" cards and Opera Neon will capture what matters in the right format.

There's also Tasks, which Opera describes as "self-contained workspaces that understand context and make it possible to use the AI to analyze, compare, and act across multiple sources at once." It sounds like it's a more complex version of Do, which takes into account the contents of multiple tabs at once to help you get your work done.

If you're interested, you can sign up for the waitlist over at the Opera Neon website. Once you're in, you can subscribe for $19.90/month to unlock all of the powerful AI tools. It's a cool insight as to how AI will help us browse better, from telling it what we want to achieve with our browsing to building websites.
