Google Gemini AI Now Built Into Opera One and Opera GX Browsers

Opera is enhancing its browsers by integrating Google's advanced Gemini AI models. The Gemini-powered AI chatbot, previously only in Opera Neon, is now accessible to all users of the free Opera One and Opera GX browsers. This AI side panel offers contextually relevant information based on webpages, videos, and tab groupings. Users can receive summaries, research assistance, and tab comparisons directly from the AI. The AI also supports voice input and output, and can analyze various file types, including images and videos. Opera has optimized the AI engine for speed, achieving 20% faster responses through a new architecture. The company stresses robust privacy controls, allowing users to manage what information the AI accesses. Opera believes browsers are the next frontier for AI interactions, providing more relevant assistance than standalone applications. This expansion aims to provide users with native search and AI features directly within their browsing experience. Users can explore these new AI capabilities by downloading Opera's various browser versions.
