Opera discusses the architecture of Neon, an experimental browser built for agentic AI workflows.
The software supports local models, MCP server connections, and optional subscriptions, while keeping features strictly opt-in and isolating sensitive data from cloud services.
In the area of artificial intelligence, the company has developed an experimental browser called Neon, designed for users who want to use automated tools. As with Opera GX, Opera is choosing to keep these experimental features separate from its main browser, giving users the option to enable them if they wish.
How Neon works
The Neon browser allows users to connect to their favorite AI tools, including local models running directly on the user's computer. Users can connect to existing AI tools through special connectors or opt for a $19,90 per month subscription to use Neon's automated assistants.
However, tests have shown that Neon's automated assistants take several minutes to complete tasks, and have also shown problems that allow third parties to influence their commands. For its part, the company states that it does not train AI models using user data and assures that Neon never sends passwords, credit card details or cookies to the remotely operated AI service.
