Opera Browser has just added an exciting feature to its web browser – a chatty AI sidekick called Aria. Built with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, this AI assistant will now be available for 180 countries, in both its Android and desktop versions of the Opera One browser. To get access to the Artificial Intelligence component, users must sign up with an Opera account and add it to a waitlist. Once that is done, they will be able to communicate with Aria from the browser’s sidebar.
Opera has ambitions to better integrate Aria into the web browser and enable users to perform various tasks across browsers. The main aim of this is to build a smoother and more user-friendly experience. With this exciting development, Opera has broken away from Microsoft, the only other player in the game of bringing generative AI to web browsers.
Opera is the company behind the famous desktop and mobile browser, Opera One. Founded in 1994 in Norway, it is one of the old-timers when it comes to web browsers and modernized web search. With hundreds of millions of users around the world, Opera’s brand of web browsers stands out as a reliable and intuitive option to explore the internet.
OpenAI is a non-profit research laboratory dedicated to advancing Artificial Intelligence for all. Founded by tech titans Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman, OpenAI has since become the pioneer in AI technology, with contributions from many prominent scientists and companies. ChatGPT is OpenAI’s latest contribution to the AI world, and now it has been integrated into the Opera Browser.
