It was only a matter of time before other players followed in the footsteps of Google’s Bard and the AI-powered Bing, announcing their own integration of AI tools in their browsers.
Opera, the popular browser provider, has announced in a blog post the integration of AI-generated content (AIGC) services into its mobile and PC browsers. It aims to expand its existing AI program and incorporate generative AI for news and gaming products. With the rapidly increasing interest in AI services, Opera has taken steps to provide users with direct access to popular generative AI tools.
Opera’s forthcoming AI integration aims to revolutionize browsing by becoming a gateway to an AI-powered web. The company’s move towards the generative AI space reflects its track record of being at the forefront of browser innovation. Opera plans to add popular AI-generated content services to the browser sidebar and augment the browsing experience with new features that will interact with generative AI-powered capabilities.
“In more than 25 years of our company’s history, we have always been at the forefront of browser innovation. Whether inventing browser tabs or providing our users with built-in access to generative AI tools, we always push the limits of what’s possible on the web. Following the mass interest in generative AI tools, we believe it’s now time for browsers to step up and become the gateway to an AI-powered web.”Â
Song Lin, Co-CEO of Opera
One such feature is a “Shorten” button in the address bar that can generate short summaries of any webpage or article. The company believes that AI solutions, springing up for text, image, and audio generation, and countless other forms, are at the brink of a new era of creativity on the web. Opera aims to reshape the browser and unfold the full potential of generative AI resources in the best possible way.
With Opera’s new AI services, users can expect to process written materials faster and filter through content to summaries in a relevant way. The company’s move towards the generative AI space reflects its commitment to pushing the limits of what’s possible on the web.
