Summary
- Digital trend setter, Opera, is exploring new AI tech with its newly announced Browser Operator function.
- Inside the browser, the tool will let users ask an AI agent to complete various tasks.
- Such tasks were demonstrated in a company video, showing the agent searching for the right kind of socks at Walmart and soccer tickets.
- The benefit of using the agent directly within the browser is that it protects user privacy more than other available AI tech, according to Opera.
- The Operator is available presently as a preview, with a wider launch as part of an AI Feature Drop program scheduled for the near future.
- It is not the only AI agent available, with competitors including OpenAI’s ChatGPT operator and Perplexity Assistant.
