TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Opera has launched Browser Operator, a browser with an integrated artificial intelligence (AI) agent. This feature is designed to help users automate various tasks, such as internet information searches, booking travel tickets, arranging accommodations, and performing other activities without the need for time-consuming manual navigation.
Capabilities and Key Features
As reported by Mezha Media, the Browser Operator is currently in a limited trial phase, but Opera plans to release it more widely soon. Based on Opera's demonstration, this AI can browse shopping sites to find products such as socks, buy football match tickets directly from official club sites, compare prices, and make hotel reservations through platforms like Booking.com.
One of the main advantages of Browser Operator is its ability to work directly within the browser, without relying on screen capture technology or session recording to analyze user activities. Instead, this AI uses the Document Object Model (DOM) and browser layout data to understand and navigate website content more efficiently.
This approach provides better speed in completing tasks, as the AI does not need to visually process the screen display by analyzing every pixel or control navigation through mouse movements. Additionally, The Browser Operator can directly access entire pages without scrolling the screen manually, making the search and interaction process faster and more accurate.
Security and Privacy Protection
Opera emphasizes that this AI feature is designed with a high priority on user security and privacy. Browser Operator operates entirely within the browser, without leveraging virtual machines or cloud servers to process user commands. Consequently, users' data, such as browsing history, logins, cookie settings, and other sensitive information, will not be stored or sent to third parties.
Furthermore, this AI is designed to maintain full control of users. When sensitive information is required, the Browser Operator will pause and request permission from the user before continuing its task. This ensures that users retain full control over their data and can use this feature safely without worrying about leaking personal information.
Launch and Accessing Browser Operator
Opera plans to launch Browser Operator soon, as part of a series of updates to its AI-powered browser. Although this feature is not yet available to all users, in the future, users will be able to access it through the Command Line Interface or through the sidebar of the Opera browser.
