Despite not having its own model, Opera is one of the browsers that is responding the fastest to the boom in artificial intelligence that we live in these times. As you will remember, when only a few days had passed since Microsoft announced the new Bing and Microsoft Edge Copilot, the Norwegian company decided to reply by announcing that it would soon integrate ChatGPT into its sidebar, this happened in mid-February, on the 12th to be more exact..
A little over a month later, at the end of March, the first artificial intelligence integrations in the browser arrived, although its scope was (and still is, to this day). much more limited than initially expected. With the ChatGPT features, Opera allows you to make a summary of the open page, tell you what the main point of said post is, create a tweet and also a concept for a meme from it. For its part, the integration of ChatSonic makes it easy to find related content.
These functions are interesting but, of course, they are very far from what they “sold” us in February, although it is true that this is a first implementation in a plan that the company claimed goes much further. In other words, it is a matter of time, and therefore of patience, until Opera begins to add new and interesting functions, thus trying to catch up with Microsoft Edge, which is currently the most popular browser. advanced in artificial intelligence integration.
As I said, Opera’s initial commitment went much further and, finally, there will be a giant step forward in this regard since, according to what we can read on the browser’s official blog, Opera has already started to integrate a test version of its sidebar with ChatGPTin an experiment that is currently available, through a waiting list, for all those who have created an Opera user account, a free option that we can manage from the same browser.
The experiment, which at least for now is called Ariawill be accessible in this first phase for Opera One usersthe complete browser redesign project we told you about about a month ago, and also for the beta version of Opera for Android. According to the company, users who meet these requirements (have a user account and use either version of the browser) will soon receive a message confirming that they are already part of the white list and that, therefore, they are already you can start testing Aria.
