How to Use Opera Neon in 2026: Step-by-Step Guide
Opera's agentic AI browser — a built-in assistant that can carry out multi-step tasks (research, form-filling, booking) directly in the browser on a user's behalf.
Opera Neon is Opera's agentic browser, built around an AI layer that can take actions on web pages rather than only answering questions about them.
Core Capabilities
Agentic Task Execution Can carry out multi-step browser tasks — filling forms, navigating between sites, compiling research — with the user reviewing before final actions like purchases.
Built-In Assistant (successor to Aria) Extends Opera's earlier Aria assistant with action-taking capability, not just conversational Q&A.
Local Task History Keeps a record of agent actions taken during a session so users can review or undo steps.
Positioning
Opera's entry into the agentic-browser category alongside Dia, Perplexity Comet, and ChatGPT Atlas — differentiated by Opera's existing browser user base and prior AI assistant (Aria) groundwork.
Pricing
Free, bundled with the Opera Neon browser download.
What You'll Need
- A Opera Neon account (free to create)

Getting Started
Create Your Account
Visit https://www.opera.com/neon and sign up for a free account. You'll need an email address to register.
Start Your First Conversation
Once logged in, you'll see the main chat interface. Type a question or task in the input box and press Enter. Opera Neon supports agentic-browsing, task-automation, form-filling — start with a simple text prompt to get familiar.
Pro Tips
- Be specific: The more context you provide, the better the response. Instead of "write an email," try "write a professional follow-up email to a client who hasn't responded in two weeks."
- Iterate: If you don't get what you need, ask for clarification or refinement: "Make it shorter" or "Use a more formal tone."
- Use examples: Show Opera Neon what format you want by including an example in your prompt.
- Save useful conversations: Most platforms let you name and revisit conversations — organize by project or topic.
