Agentic AI — getting AI to perform tasks rather than just create content from prompts — is coming to the Opera browser. On Monday, the Norwegian company announced that its agent, Browser Operator, works inside Opera and will perform tasks on the web for users. “Having an AI agent in the browser brings the advantage of letting you outsource the most monotonous tasks to the browser while you focus on the things that really matter to you,” Opera Senior Vice President Jan Standal told TechNewsWorld. In a blog posting on its website, Opera explained that Browser Operator understands written instructions in natural language using the browser client’s local resources. Opera’s AI Composer Engine processes that information to complete tasks in the browser. Browser Operator will pause and ask a user to take action whenever it needs them to fill in a form, confirm an order, or perform some other sensitive task. In this entire process, the user is in control and can take over at any moment from Browser Operator. They can also review all the steps the agent took to perform a requested task.
